ECS loves....goOoooooOOoOoOoold

NEWS - ECS is making motherboards for both the AMD and Intel side with gold now. Dubbed 15 μ Gold Contact, these motherboards have three times the amount of gold on the CPU socket pins and memory slots to prevent things such as oxidation. This is to ensure better reliability and stability for the long term.

All contacts on the motherboards have a coating of gold to do this but ECS is putting three times more gold on certain motherboards for better protection.

If, you're like me, who constantly changes out parts this can be a beneficial. You do this a lot and you can wear down the contacts of pins. With ECS putting on 3 times more gold, this reduces the chances of wearing out too fast. The initial products that are using this technique are:

Intel Platform G41T-M2 Gold, P55H-A Ultra
AMD Platform A790GXM-AD3 Gold, A785GM-M Ultra
