    As an owner of so called 4 top end mobo computers Asus , et al, I hate to admit that the old ECS K7S5a keeps on, gaming while the others quit. True every slot on the board is filled, 2600 Athlon AMD, XP Pro, Albatron 5800 fxUltra, Pinnacle TV card, 1 Meg Legend pc 2100, Firwire, from card reader (be ...

    I have been building custom computers for about 4 years now, And in January 2004 I came across the Elite ECS K7S5A PRO mainboard. It seemed a good deal for the price 55$ CAD. Problems started in July 2004 when I booted it sometimes detected my hdd sometimes not!!! So I thought it was an IDE problem ...

    I have spent way too many hours trying to get this computer to do what it's supposed to do. It won't ever start up reliably.
    It doesn't recognize the HDD, or the Video Cards. I'm lucky to get a picture at all. Today it defaulted to an all time low of 766mhz, from a rated 1533mhz XP1800.
    I bou ...

    Great board, I bought from Mwave and built a newer machine running XP Home and it works flawlessly! My GF loves it and uses the machine for gaming so it can't be too bad. No clue what others are complaining about.

    I have built systems for over 15 years and have had some great boards and some ...

    Too numerous to name them all of the problems with the ECS K7S5A PRO motherboard but by far the worst has to be the bios. I bought 2 brand new, still in the shrink-wrapped boxes, identical K7S5A PRO's and after meticulously installing into my case, I immediately start having problems. 1st thing, ins ...

    I've built several systems with both the ECS K7S5A and the ECS K7S5A PRO. Both were easy to setup and after over 2 years since the first, no problems whatsoever. This is a good board at a great price. Use quality components and it's unlikely you'll have problems. These boards are inexpensive but ...

    I've been building and maintaining computers for nearly twenty years, and the ECS K7S5A PRO is by far the worst Motherboard ever.

    It starts up fine, and even loads WIN98 w/o problems (usually). But try to upgrade to WIN98SE - forget it.

    I haved swapped EVERY component, all of which tested good ...
