The ECS H55H-I is an ordinary motherboard with a normal design and capabilities. The H55H-I cannot lower system voltages or monitor their current values and sets too high memory timings by default. When compared to the the Zotac H55-ITX WiFi, the Intel DH57JG and the Gigabyte GA-H55N-USB3, it's the cheapest mini-ITX board.

Overclocking:

A Core i3-540 processor was OCed to almost 3.7 GHz, without raising the voltage.

Compared To:

Gigabyte GA-H55N-USB3
