Looks nice but it's ECS so in no way would I ever buy it or recommend the brand. Is there a reason all the P67 PCB are black? I'm not saying it's a bad thing just seems like the manufacturers have ditched their PCB colors.

The ECS Black Series is solid for video cards at least! I run 850/2000 with stock ECS accelero twin turbo, loads at 55C. Black series is srs bsns

looks like a sweet board tbh
