I know the ECS Black series have been very good, they just don't have the name recognition that Gigabyte, Asus, etc. have in the performance sector. This naming scheme, with "L337" "GANK" "AGGRO" and "KILLSTEAL", is super tryhard that it turns me off. They should have just went with ECS Platinum, or another name that invokes better quality than the word "Black". Agreed, it's so fucking stupid. It's easy to make premium products sound nice, and it's not by naming them like that. | ||

Just look at any of their Motherboards/Video Cards on Newegg and read the reviews. I think it'll be funny if this team BSOD's during a tournament hehe. "Run MemTest!" "I can't, the motherboard won't recognize the USB flash drive!" "...and it's rebooting again." *ECS L33T! Where life is a fucking nightmareeee!* | ||

Where life is a fucking nightmareeee!* ASRock also used to be bottom of the barrel, it was Asus' budget/low end brand. Now they do low to high and everything in between, and Asus also do low end, as ASRock was spun off from Asus into it's own independent company. While I wouldn't recommend straight off that people go and buy ECS motherboards, there's no reason that they can't manage to produce high end quality boards at some point. They still have to actually prove that they CAN produce quality boards, but there's no reason to write them off entirely, as it's been proven that companies can move upmarket. | ||

Doesn't matter either way. This crap is all mass-produced in China  | ||
