ECS H55H-M Motherboard

The Intel H55 chipset based motherboard,  though supports
Intel Lynnfield and Clarkdale processors like any other motherboard out in the
market today, is not great for overclockers. This board does not have on board
support for the latest USB 3.0 and SATA 6Gbps connectors. Compared to some of
the other motherboards reviewed in this issue, the board compensates for the
lacking of latest technologies with its very down to earth price. This makes its
deployment possible in enterprises and even for individual home PCs.

The motherboard scored an impressive 13009 in 3DMarks 06,
which means a great graphics performance. In CineBench, the scores were 10780
CB-CPU, while in POV-Ray, the motherboard scored a rendered average of 94052 PPS
over 2.09 secs; which means a more than decent display. It gave 59.79 FPS in
Unreal Tournament benchmark, which ensures a smooth gaming experience.

Bottomline:  Good on performance but lacks supports
for new technologies which is the downer for this board.
