ECS A85F2-A Golden motherboard review - Introduction

[andrew1990]

That looks to be a very nice motherboard Would love to use it lol

[Bear]

That don't even show the CPU heatsink. It mentions gold, but then, it also mentions "gold colors". Snazzy lookin either way.
Just remember though, as with any other mobo, it'll be outdated before you get it out of the box ; )

[jghilino]

the heatsinks are anodized a gold color, the rest looks to be gold plated

[happyisthealero]

I wonder why the transistors are gold plated?

[Craasher]

I bet someone would be glad to give you motherboard pricing for that thing..

[GeorgeB]

That is definitely a motherboard, but I would go with gold plating.

[Bear]

looks like brass to me haha

never seen or heard of brass on motherboards, but then again, never seen one like that, so you might be right lol

Don't see any transistors but if you look you will see the can caps are gold.

I was taking antennas off of wireless network cards today, and the elbow that holds it onto the board sure looked a lot like gold, but I was fairly certain it had to be brass

All I was talking about on that article, if you read it, was no real references to karats or anything like that, and one place it even mentioned gold color, as if it was only colored gold. Not sure what it's all made of, but they really weren't very specific, as they would be in a piece of jewelry or something, with a "solid! 24K Gold filled plate!" or something

Umm, outdated when You get it... thought it was out dated when it produced.

nice board, I'll stick with My ASUS boards, and hey guys btw.. if You like liquid cooling system, check out my facebook, and goto photos, this is another part of my bussiness.. Rock On.. nice board again.. have fun with it.

I think I have seen some that were flash plated gold over brass.

those antenna connectors are brass, but occasionally you will find gold plated ones

My bad I got transistors confused with caps, I'm only 32, but I must really be getting old if I cant tell the difference lol..

[BarrenRealms007]

Sorry to bust your bubble guy's but it's not gold.

[pcscrapper]

Check out My facebook , and look in the photo section, and You'll see some of my liquid cooling job.. and soon to be adding a new computer to the list, just about done with it, will spec it out soon.

By using that macro lens we can see how cool the gold theme really is.

Up-to very small detail gold has been implemented whereever possible, I don't think that entry level motherboards have looked this good. Current pricing on newEgg for this board is just $126.99 USD.

if someone gave me one working i would just use it or save it for a lot later as with mobo's coming to there end at least with desktops these boards like this can be upgraded so that even in 6-10yrs they will be in demand so anything produced in these few years is worth saving if you can and everything that goes with them
