ECS NF650iSLIT-A nVIDIA nForce 650i Motherboard Review

If you’re into performance or games but don’t want to break the bank, nVIDIA’s nForce 650i SLI chipset is for you. It packs in value and won’t cost nearly as much as a high end nForce 680i board does. ECS knows value, that’s why its NF650iSLIT-A motherboard is such an attractive mainboard solution for builders on a budget. The nVidia 650i chipset has the features, and the ECS package here is darn cheap! A winning combination if ever there was one.. ..Use the money you saved on the motherboard and get yourself a high end videocard for gaming.

..In terms of performance, well you saw the benchmarks and it speaks for itself really. The ECS NF650iSLIT-A is perfectly adequate for workstation tasks as it kept up with Intel’s P965 Express and even its new P35 Express pretty well. In gaming the NF650iSLIT-A showed us that it is as fast as the other nVIDIA nForce motherboards out there.

The ECS NF650iSLIT-A was even decent at overclocking, hitting a maximum speed of 412 MHz. That was done without having to adjust the chipset voltages too, if ECS inserts CPU clock multiplier adjustments into future BIOS revisions, the NF650iSLIT-A has the potential to be an overclocking monster! ECS has done a great job with the NF650iSLIT-A and if you want something that’s low cost, yet performs well this is definitely a board you want to check out!
