Overclockers Club has just published a review of the ECS A970M-A Deluxe motherboard. If you are building an AMD based system on a budget, you might want to give this review the once over.

Overclocking with the ECS A970M-A is a simple affair. I would mention that without a few features of it's more expensive 990FX chipset boards, overclocking did require more voltage than it otherwise might. The impressive overclock of 4789MHz did also create quite a bit of heat requiring a heartier cooling solution than you will be able to find in the 35-40$ range. While the A970M-A achieved a very good OC, heavy 24/7 overclockers will probably opt for the added features of the 990FX chipset.

Heavy 24/7 Overclockers will probably opt for not buying an ECS motherboard in the first place.

Their products are pure garbage.
 
It's cool that they review budget hardware, though.

The FX 8150 and a gilded ECS motherboard sounds so janky.

I want to see someone run this for as long as they can, with overclocking.
