I thought I would bring this to someone's attention since 6 different places have reviewed this board and the ECS C19-a. Not one review of either of these boards managed to mention the huge problem with the PCIE x16 slots.
Both boards only run at x8 speed when they have one graphics card installed. I know they are spec'd to run at x8 x8 in sli mode, but in single card mode they are supposed to run at x16. After weeks of arguing with ECS I finally pushed them into changing the specs on their website, but nobody has changed their review to reflect this yet. ECS claims it is a limitation of the nvidia chipset and there will not be a fix to it.
I imagine if someone bought a high end gpu to run in single card mode and they noticed it only running at x8, they'd be pretty hot.
