ECS KA1 MVP Review @ Overclockers Online
My best guess is this is a Crossfire enabled board from ECS but to be honest I gave up on the review after seeing an entire page of "box shots" that have nothing to do with the motherboard in question.
"The last notable from the package of goodies is this ingenious little guy here. What ECS has done is developed a BIOS chip that can be placed on top of the existing BIOS chip that will override the one on the board and allow you to boot the system should something happen to your BIOS. No more corrupt BIOS from a bad flash resulting in RMA or waiting for a replacement chip. The TopHat Flash will have you back up and running in seconds. I think this is a great idea. "
This sounds good in theory but the two boards that fried on me also fried something other than the BIOS chip, so while this may save you from a bad BIOS flash (which shouldn't really happen if you know what you're doing) but may not actually save you in the event of BIOS failure from overclocking or random acts of static electricity.
