Active Blogs | Popular Blogs | Recent Blogs ECS motherboard has a new generation: A85F2 ECS-A with the famous FM2 socket to accommodate all the recent AMD recognized board graphics solution interesting. The ECS-A A85F2 economic wants with an attractive price and form the basis of a multi uses. The brand focuses on the Sony VGP-BPS26A quality of the components used for the realization of this motherboard. With its name "Golden", the ECS uses A85F2-A 15u gold plated contacts, probably in response to competitive offerings. We are therefore able to achieve with the ECS-A A85F2 increased stability and optimized cooling. So this new motherboard honored that characterized this color gives gold or gold to be realistic.
Beyond this unusual feature, the ECS-A A85F2 offers all the amenities worthy of a next generation motherboard: Managing multi screens, support the latest operating system from Microsoft and Windows 8 compatibility with memory modules AMP (AMD Memory Profile). Players wishing more computing power will make a CrossFireX configuration by combining the IGP their processor with a dedicated graphics card. With the EZ BIOS graphical and controllable with the mouse with overclockers will hopefully reach a higher frequency to 2600MHz and finally accelerates EZ Load Latitude E5500 battery charging embedded in mobile devices. While the platform based on AMD APU new and using the ECS-A A85F2 they can forget the limited success of the first generation of AMD FM1 socket to?
Presentation
In twenty-five years, ECS has won the satisfaction of a broad public with products to very tight budget. Taiwanese company invests primarily on the environmental impact of components out of its factories. ECS Elitegroup alias offers graphic cards, notebooks, tablets, e-books, cards, and complete machines and more motherboards consumer and professional. Some motherboards, all architectures are present in the catalog of the brand whether Intel or AMD. By focusing on patterns Reserved socket FM2, ECS offers five different models including two m-ATX format and the other three are ATX standard. The main difference between these Dell XPS M1530 cards is used because the chipset AMD "Trinity" (FM2) have three versions available: A55, A75 and A85X. Our A85F2 ECS-A is the high-end of its class and if aesthetics "Golden" does not meet your criteria, it is possible to fall back on more conventional Deluxe model.
The ECS-A A85F2
Cut to provide a level of stability and enhanced reliability, the ECS A85F2 A has to his credit a lot of promising characteristics. This card FM2 ECS is able to provide 140 watts of power to the processor. The capacitors are solid type and stage supplies are certified to deliver 150% extra stability in the face of Dell XPS M2010 standard components. ESD is a technology to prevent electrostatic discharge and UEFI EZ BIOS type embeds functionality "MIB" leaving the possibility for users to enjoy the pleasures of overclocking. An element of welcome addition because some AMD FM2 are capable of true prowess.
AMD "Trinity"
The socket FM2 recall allows the use of the latest AMD part of the family "Trinity" are actually APU. That is to say, they integrate a graphics solution to get rid of a video card. Eight processors are available in socket FM2:
The Athlon X4 740 and 750K
The A4-5300 and A6-5400K
The A8-5500 and A8-5600K
And finally the A10 and A10-5700-5800K
They boarded all four cores except A6 and A8 limited to two computing units and eight have APU AMD Turbo 3.0.
Last detail to remember, Athlon X4 does not embark graphics controller versions and "K" have their multipliers unlocked allowing overclocking. The graphics processor "Trinity" is based on a solution HD7660D, HD7540D or HD7480D. The Inspiron 1526 processor used for testing A85F2 ECS-A model is the fastest: the A10-5800K. Like all models socket FM2, the A10-5800K is engraved in 32nm and maximum TDP of 99 watts. It operates at a frequency of 3.8 GHz base and thanks to its Turbo mode, it can peak at 4.2 GHz. It includes 64KB of L1 cache and 256KB of Level 2. Exit level 3 then. We note also that the processors APU "Trinity" take advantage of the technology "Piledriver", a concept of architecture took "Bulldozer". Each heart is composed of two computing units constituting a "module". Our A10-5800K is compatible with DDR3-1866 MHz core and the minimum voltage for the RAM is only 1.25V. Regarding the graphics, the A10-5800K includes an IGP called "Devastator" consisting of 1.3 billion transistors. It includes eight ROPS, 384 computing units clocked at 800 MHz. Memory based on a 128-bit bus with a capacity of 512MB RAM directly requisitioned in the machine.
Chipset
The ECS A85F2-A is based on the A85X chipset, the most advanced version proposed by AMD for this platform FM2. He is the only one to allow a combination of two graphics processors via CrossFireX technology. The AMD A85X allows storage systems performance with eight SATA 6Gbps ports Pavilion DV4 battery compatible with RAID 0, 1, 10 and 5. Face a considerable advantage to Intel solutions benefiting only two SATA 6Gbps ports. This chipset also supports four USB 3.0 ports, ten USB 2.0 and two USB 1.1 yet.
Layout
The ECS is a A85F2-A ATX motherboard and provides a pleasant design with the mixture of black and gold. The PCB as all the connectors are black while the radiators and condensers are golden. The upper part of the ECS A85F2-A is reserved socket ports DIMM, the power stages (four for the CPU and one for the memory) cooled by a passive heatsink imposing and rear panel connectors. Usual AMD, socket box is removable fan bracket if you want to use an alternative model. The four-port RAM can receive a maximum total capacity of 64GB at a maximum frequency of 2600 MHz (core memory is clocked at 1866 MHz). AMP and XMP profiles are supported to facilitate the recognition modules.
On the bottom, there are ports of PCI. Both are formatted 16x, 1x three format and the last two are former PCI 32 bits. In case you would install two graphics cards, they will share eight sixteen lines each. To their right, the A85X chipset is cooled by a radiator minimalist while seven SATA ports will be responsible for hosting the hard disks and other SSDs. Six of them are bent while the latter is positioned vertically. They can all be included in a RAID array to improve the speed of data transfer or secure. The sound is assigned to a chip VIA VT 1819S compatible 7 +1 and the Compaq Presario CQ60 network is based on a compatible Ethernet controller Realtek 8111E gigabyte type. Finally at the bottom and as with the vast majority of manufacturers, the width of the map is occupied by a set of USB connectors, buttons and other LED packages. We also appreciate that the USB 3.0 remote is placed here rather than the length graphics cards.
