ECS P45T-A Intel P45 chipset mainboard review - Mainboard layout
Bluetooth 15 Jul 2008

This black label board is a full ATX mainboard and comes with 1PCIe x1, 2 PCI and 2 full length PCIe x16 slots whcih are electrically at 8x+8x (read+red in CrossFire) or 16x (red). Behind the PCI / PCIe slot are the audio codec, GbE and I/O controller chipsets. Towards the right is the 4 pin power connector and a 4 phase power regulator circuit surrounding the CPU. The heatsink is the defacto but gold / black heatsink which blends well with the black PCB.

 

At the bottom corner of the board, we can see the south bridge with a black heatsink labelled ECS. We can also see the BIOS, 6 SATA ports, 3 ext. USB connectors (orange), 1 IDE (yellow), 4 DIMM slots and 24 pin power connector. One thing I love about this board is the presence of the On/Off and Reset switch. With that, I no longer need a paper clip to short the pins to power up during my tests.

The back panel consists of PS/2 mouse/keyboard, COM1 port, 1 eSATA, 6 USB, 1 GbE and 7.1 ch audio ports.
