Great, I should have mine today or the latest on monday board has been shipped...

Will test it with E8400/Q6600 and QX9650...

In bios chipset voltage is set at default 1.25v but in windows it reads 1.76v. I'm using Everest utility to check , sandra reads the same. Everything else reads normal

Very stable board. At first I though something was wrong with the board because this is my first board that powers off when you change something in bios. Besides that I'm loving the board.

Hummmmmm eye have no voltage conflicks at all ...on g26 bios

[intothefantasy]

does any one try this mobo with asus 3870x2 ROG version with 2 fans on it? i heard that the gpu is not compatible with this mars mobo...but other type of 3870x2 like HIS or sapphire has no problem with it

does anyone notice the NB mounting giving insufficient pressure?
i used waterblock mounting and i got about 5c drop

Mine is rock solid glued to the chipset.

g26? Are you sure you are talking about the same board. P09 bios it he most current one. Not sure where you got g26 from.

[LagunaX]

Love this board...steady as a rock.

[hersounds]

i try this board with a initial ATI 3870 .



and then i try Nvidia geforce 8800 GT 512



so this is the final best config

[Amey]

Here is our score, sorry no 3D scores

This board doesn't have GTL ref voltage. Btw, I lowered my CPU PLL/SB volts to 1.388 from the default 1.5 and still manage to achieve stability.

[intothefantasy]

wat are the version of the pcie for mars for the 16x slot and 4x slot?

[Mankz_91]

Hopefully have one coming next week, along with an e8400, Crucial Ballistx Tracer RED's and an SS too

G26, G29, G30 are beta bioses. But even for full release BIOS P09 is not the latest but P11 is.

great mobo

yesterday i swapped a sapph 3870 with his 3870 and all of the sudden the system became absolutely unstable.. it couldnt even get into windows only @ default cpu clock

just weird

is quantumforce.net the only place other than the boards own to download the latest bios?

[HDCHOPPER]

napalmV5...... yes

[HDCHOPPER]

u dont have to say on register form that u have a mars product (hint hint)
just sign up and get downloads .....thier is stuff for 3850 & 3870 gfx cards thier also

[hersounds]

so,what the best bios for overclock our 8400/ 8500 ? i use P09,but i don't know what can do the P11...you know,if change anything for best performance.


HDCHOPPER i see you in all places, foxconn forum,vr zone,and much more!

[HDCHOPPER]

eye heard thier the p11 is good ! about the same as G29 & G30 stuff is different for different boards you know
