ECS H55H-M
motherboards.org


Lots of images from the board's layout, bundle, box and bios. The ECS H55H-M was compared to the ASUS P7H55D-M EVO and the Intel DH55TC.

Conclusion: This is a good motherboard but it has no high-end features. The price is of course the best thing about this mainboard, up till now it's the cheapest H55 board we've seen.

Overclocking: motherboards.org did not perform any overclocking, there are only a few remarks and eleven BIOS screens on a dedicated page for BIOS and overclocking.

Benchmarks: Sisoft Sandra, Everest, SYSmark, 3D Mark Vantage, PC Mark Vantage, Specview, x264, wPrime.

ECS H55H-M

guru3d


A review with images of the board, lots of benchmarks and there's a dedicated page for the IGP graphics properties and another page for the IGP performance results. In the benchmarks the focus is on comparing the various processors, you will not find other motherboards in the results.

Conclusion: Overall this mobo is fair and good, performance is as expected, and for the money the features are OK. There is no HDMI connector or DisplayPort that would make it a perfect Home Theatre PC. guru3d gave it a "great value!" award.

Overclocking: guru3d didn't perform any overclocking with this mobo, in their conclusion they make the following remarks: Do not expect an overclocking monster, you could overclock it a bit using the baseclock.

Bechmarks: Sisoft Sandra, Everest, 3D Mark 06 and Vantage, Handbrake, Cyberlink Espresso, AES data encryption, Crysis WarHEAD, Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway, Resident Evil 5, Far Cry 2, Call of Duty 4, Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2, Mass Effect.

    The ECS H55H-M is part of a review-round-up for 'Choosing the Best H55/H57 Motherboard', other mobos in this 'contest' are the BIOSTAR TH55XE, Gigabyte H55M-USB3 and H57M-USB3.

    The ECS H55H-M has a basic feature set with unfortuantely no onboard HDMI output, DisplayPort, eSATA or Firewire connectors. The Atheros AR8131/M supplying onboard PCI-E LAN and the VT1705 audio codec from VIA are considered 'cheap solutions' to keep the price of this mobo low. Since one of the key attractions of the H55 chipset is the ability to run IGP video/audio out for HTPC use, the omission of an onboard HDMI connector can be considered as a step to far.

  • Linux tests

    phoronix.com has a short review of three pages with a photograph of the ECS mobo housed within a SilverStone Grandia GD04 Home Theatre PC (HTPC) case. Linux versions that were tested with this mainboard: Fedora 12, Fedora Rawhide, Ubuntu 9.10, and Ubuntu 10.04.
