ECS H55H-M Linux Review

---

First Linux tests of the ECS H55H-M and Core i3 530.




Actually phoronix made two tests, one about the ECS H55H-M dealing with the BIOS, board and test setup, the other is about the core i3 530.




This board not compared to another board, instead the core i3 530 is compared to the Core 2 Duo E8400 and the Phenom II X3 710 in the benchmarks, and it runs fine with Linux distributions employing a recent Linux kernel.




7zip benchmark results with the Core i3 "Clarkdale" show 7127 MIPS, the Core 2 Duo E8400 reached 4949 MIPS, while the Phenom II X3 710 ended up with 4213 MIPS.

This motherboard has no DisplayPort or HDMI, which can be considered a disadvantage, besides that the expansion capabilities are few.
