It has been stated from my sources, that the ECS GF7050VT-M5 mobo, is the same as the ECS MCP73VT-PM, with a slight difference.
The difference being that the MCP73VT-PM mobo is based on the Micro-ATX form factor, and the GF7050VT-M5 is based on the ATX form factor.
[ Micro-ATX form factor size is 9.6 inches by 9.6 inches. 9.6 inches is approximately 9 and 9/16ths inches. It's also 244mm by 244mm.
ATX form factor is 12 inches by 9.6 inches. 305mm by 244mm ]
ECS MCP73VT-PM,

This is a PDF file download. (Motherboard Manual) May take a few seconds before you see the first page, and additional time for the file to fully download.
Suggest you let the file download all the way, before looking through it.
I'm also looking at an ECS MCP73VT-PM on Ebay, as well as the PDF motherboard manual for the ECS GF7050VT-M5.
Motherboard oriented so that the Processor is to the top, ram memory slots to the right, and the orange PCI Express x16 slot to the bottom, the SP/DIF header on the GF7050VT-M5 is located to the left of the PCI Express slot.
From the poor view on the Ebay link, the MCP73VT-PM also seems to have the SP/DIF header in the same location, but clocked differently.
The header is clocked perpendicular to the orange PCI Express x16 slot, while on the GF7050VT-M5 the SP/DIF header is parallel to the PCI Express x16 slot.
The header is 4 pins long, with 1 pin not installed.
Pin 1 is marked on the motherboard.
Pin 1 is SP/DIF Digital Output
Pin 2 is +5VA ( 5 Volt analog power)
Pin 4 is Ground
There is no Pin 3.
