The ECS KA3 MVP is the first CrossFire Xpress 3200 AM2 motherboard to hit the market. It's based on the same RD580 northbridge that we saw on socket 939 variants of CrossFire Xpress 3200, but comes with the all-new and improved SB600 southbridge. The KA3 comes with an attractive price and a good feature set that should suit a wide range of end users. We run it through our battery of tests to find out if it is worth shouting about.

"Using ECS' KA3 MVP was a generally trouble-free experience and there are very few things wrong with the board. The one sticking point is the lack of CAS Latency adjustment in BIOS at the moment - this severely hampered the performance, and destroyed the board's chance of getting a solid recommendation for avid tweakers. The rest of the BIOS is pretty good, but the KA3 could use some more comprehensive voltage adjustments."
