Foxconn MARS 5.6G 3D Bechable

[NewBeetle]

Here is my 3DMark05 (http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm05=3717780) & Super Pi 1M results with MARS under LN2 .

I can run 5.6G 3D benching and 5.8G Pi benching very easily. :)

Moreover, MARS is no mod (completely stock condition). :eek:

I think that MARS is one of the best overclocking P35 boards. :D

Thank you so much Shamino-san for this awesome MARS board ! ;)

Does this board support Penryn as well?

Fantastic results NewBeetle! Sick sick 1M :shocked:

Yes :up:
sweet, if the P5K-E fails i know what to buy forQX9650 :D

[G H Z]

Yes it's fast and easy on the wallet, a nice combo :D

[jugeen]

great job! nice scores! i like this mobo! :clap:

[Oliver]

Hey NewBeetle-San, good to see you benching again.

Really impressive and thats all, SPI time, 3d, your well known CPU and work.

Keep pushing it.

DEWA DEWA.

omg i want one!!!

[BeardyMan]

Yes it's fast and easy on the wallet, a nice combo :D

easy on the wallet is not quite right lol :D

asus p5K-e = 180$
Mars = 262$

:shakes: :shrug:

asus p5K-e = 180$

:shakes: :shrug:

Any links to that pricing? :shakes: :shrug:
The mars seems to run in the 180-190 class. ;)

:shakes: :shrug:

Yes but you won't see the P5K-E doing this unmodded either ;)

I made also a good experience with the Foxconn Mars. Reached a FSB of 560Mhz under air with only 1,45VNB. Maybe I could have done this result with less voltage. Anyway, respectable result:up:

[k|ngp|n]

Awesome work new beetle! :clap:
Foxconn is really stepping up to the plate with their enhusiast Mars line. I was very impressed with the mars board when I test....could hang with any of the asus p35 mobos. Honestly though, with a bencher like shamino involved with the R&D and overclocking support of the mobos, how can they go wrong :up: ??

[Zannema]

Impressive PI 1M NB-San :clap: :clap:

[BeardyMan]

Yes but you won't see the P5K-E doing this unmodded either ;)

that's true, but resistors aren't that expensive eh :D

[Fr3ak]

Nice results Mitsuaki-san! How about getting a new (45nm) CPU? With your luck involving CPU purchases, you will find a 6 GHz+ 1M benchable one :D

[over@locker886]

Great work NewBeetle-san!
Foxconn is very strong, without any modding! More and more day have my hand, I like it better:)

[NewBeetle]

Thank you , BeardyMan-san, G H Z-san, jugeen-san, Oliver-san, Rovtar-san, harleybro-san, Arne-san, k|ngp|n-san, Zannema-san, Fr3ak-san, over@locker886-san :)

Fantastic results NewBeetle! Sick sick 1M :shocked:

Yes :up:
I want to test Wolfdale by this board as soon as possible. :D


great job! nice scores! i like this mobo! :clap:
I think this is a very good overclocking P35 boards. :D

Thank you always, Oliver-san. :)
I still rely on this CPU. :D

I also recommend it. :D

Thank you always, k|ngp|n-san. :)

I think so, too.
And I will show the power of this board more. :D

Now I'm a 3D Bencher. :D

Wolfdale is put on the market in Japan in January. :(
Endurance is compelled to me till then.
However, I will challenge to find a 6GHz+ Benching if that time comes. :D


Great work NewBeetle-san!

Thank you always, over@locker886-san. :)

I know your great results with MARS and Wolfdale. :D
You have great FSB! :up:

What can I say New Beetle San, You and Fredyama San do just awesome results with this board and this is very encouraging for me to put in more efforts into making the next few boards kick more arse.... :up:
How are you doing on the Memory, it seems that this board does a lot better on the Memory than the FSB

[Oliver]

:D :up:
Exactly George :D.

NewBeetle-san sending some pics to you asap when i get them with tamiya masking tape insulation, thank you :D.

Keep pushing it.

[Harshal]

Amazing results ther Newbeetle san!!!
Sham... I have something coming up on MARS as well.. sadly DICE and not so good retail Q6600 means not so happening clocks :(

Nice Overclock. :up:

Hello, hipro5-san. :)
I will return to a Pi-bencher in January . :p:

Thank you so much, LardArse-san. :)
I can enjoy overclocking with this Foxconn Mars mother board. :D
Next I will try various memory settings. :up:


Exactly George :D.

You're welcome, Oliver-san. ;)
I'm happy if the pics I sent is useful. :)

I want to show you better score of 3DMark05 in the near future. :D

you got med convinced NewBeetle! and you clock that E6700 with ease.. you must be blessed with OC skills ;)

just ordered one board :D

[massman]

Producing results of this level made me forget that you mainly are a PI bencher, great work NewBeetle! :)

Yes, was cool that you did that ;), its really good and super efficient.

The Mars will definately be my next board when i step up to the Yorkie/Wolfie :up:

Ouaooooo
3D Bencing by Tanaka-san ….i love’it….:clap: :clap:

[dinos22]

great results

how does the board "feel" compared to others
how stable are the volts applied?
do all RAM dividers work properly
what sort of FSB were you able to get out of it compared to other boards

[Athens[2004]]

awesome results from the sickest 6700 ever & a pretty solid mobo , [i think that is the first time that a non xe chip clocks higher ]

[NewBeetle]

Nice clocks :toast:
Thank you, xwards-san. :)
I want to get "nice score" next run. :D

There must be blessing in a new board. :up:

Thank you always, massman-san. :)
I want the score that corresponds to the clock. :p:

I'm glad to hear that. :)

Next weekend, I may try LN2-cooling for VGA.
And I should beg teaching how to 3D-benching to you. :D

Thank you always, dinos22-san. :)
When there is a load, Vcore drops only 0.01-0.02V.
MARS is considerably excellent compared with P5K in this point.
However, the memory is not so tested. :(
I will have variously test for the memory. ;)

MARS draws out the power of sick E6700 to the limit. :D

ok i can't watch this anymore i must go and order a FOXCON MARS board :D :cool:

New beetle good luck with the LN2 on your vga's :up:

[NeoForce]

Very good results!
Gratz!
Today I receive the same board. It costs about $240. Tomorrow I`ll test Q6600 under Scythe Andi Samurai. And waiting for Wolfdale and LN2 or DIce

[Kairiaku]

Very impressive! :clap:

[NeoForce]

Hi, guys!

I have a strange problem with my Mars MoBo.

FSB limit is set to 407, if i set in BIOS for example 430, system boot but frequency is set to 407*CPU mult, if i Start SetFSB, it shows me no opportunity to move over 413 FSB, generator is chosen right

I`ve test it with Celeron 430 and PDC E2160.

Maybe I too stupid and some option should be changed? Please help

[dinos22]

it's not you it's the CPUs ;)

[NeoForce]

Ok, thx, I`ve test it with E6300, and it goes 500+..... stupid CPUs

[NewBeetle]

Thank you so much, BeardyMan-san, NeoForce-san, Kairiaku-san, dinos22-san.

But I have very bad and sad news....... :(
My MARS died suddenly when I was benching undre LN2.
Because the board had huge pressure by MaxxNEO, the circuit seems to have been destroyed.
It is my mistake.

I report on his the last brave figuer and the last result (http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm05=3758189)to you.

nooooooooooooooo :(

Got mine the other day, its a VERY good board.. Sad to hear NewBettle, I was going to challenge you with singelcard.. :(

RMA it..? :D

Thank you for your words of comfort, dpa-san. :)
Because MARS is a wonderful board, you will surely defeat me with singlecard. :D


The 6700 is OK NewBeetle? :eek:
Thank you for worrying, G H Z-san. :)
My E6700 is OK, only MARS was summoned to the heaven..... :(

[MTP04]

Sorry to hear the bad news NewBeetle.

Are you going to get another MARS or go back to your P5K?

Great results btw! I have been following your results for the past month or so, keep it up.:up:

nice clocks NewBeetle shame about the board :(

I'm sure you'll grab a few more Mars boards to keep you company over Xmas :D

I go back to ASUS P5E. :D
I can get 3DMark03's 89K by P5E & 2900Pro CF under LN2. :up:

I am driven by the temptation that I want to test "Abit IX38 Quad GT". :p:

Ohh dats an unfortunate event, Newbeetle.
Abit IX-38 QGT... well keep us posted, whatever you decide :)

I have just started testing the RAM clocking on this board after Corsair was kind enough to send me their KIT. I will soon start the thread in "Intel section" as its not yet in to extreme enuff to be in here.

Thank you, harshal-san. :)
As my P5E(X38) has a cold bug, high FSB is not possible when the cpu temperature is low and vcore is high. :(
I am expecting Abit IX-38 QGT. :D
I am looking forward to your report. ;)
