Review ECS H67H2-I

H67H2 ECS-I was the only air-Intel chipset motherboard H67 with pico-ITX platform we tested this time. Sizes smaller than micro-ATX is suitable for building a mini HTPC.

Although small, not feature makes this product economical. Putting forward a mini-form, this series still brings features like an Intel motherboard that we tested another H67. This is seen starting from the second-generation processor support, dual channel memory up to 16 GB, full bandwidth graphics slot, support SATA3, analog and digital output port USB3.0 port even exists. All references in accordance with the chipset.

Although it does not have a PCIe x1 slots, ECS includes a mini PCI Express slot that can be used using a special connector. Another interesting feature is the multi-monitor support using the onboard graphics chip via the port. Not all motherboards H67 has this feature.
