ECS LFH-A - ECS shows it's first LGA1156 board

This is the first LGA1156 motherboard from ECS, packing dual-channel DDR3 in four slots and a rather small chipset cooler for only one chipset.

This motherboard resembles the one captured running a 32nm "Clarkdale" sample last week, with one PCH (Platform Controller Hub), which doesn't seem to require more than the average southbrigde heatsink.


The board has video outputs, which should go unused until late this year, when we finally see the release of "Clarkdale" with it's integrated iGFX core. "Lynnfield", the first LGA1156 processor, isn't supposed to have a graphics core and "Havendale" has been canned.
