Maybe is only my sample wrong, but card is regulary and permanently overheating! Temps in Idle are 70C and after 10 minut gaming reach 104C on both GPUs, and card starts to cool itself by slowering clocks. Fan is working on 100 percent, but GPUs are still on 104C ... and games are unplayable ... because overheating. There is very bad twitching in every game, when GPUs are too hot ... because this, it is not possible to OC card even 10-20 MHz ...!

maybe it's an rma card?

Good to see the Mars being shipped.
Really cant wait any longer. How is the noise of
the cooler? I hope one company is making blocks, I was
asking some companies one month ago but they refused to take the risk.
104 c is a sure rma.
Asus should never ship an overheating card when everyone is taking a look.

Nvidia is selling a room heater instead of a graphics card for £1000, very nice of you nvidia whats next disableing your pshyx so that ati hardware wont work, ohh wait you already did that one lol

Nice pics

Waiting for results and a comparison between Mars and dual pcb GTX295

Got 2x Asus Mars yesterday.
The performance is the best I have ever seen. Crysis Warhead 64 2560*
1600 Enthusiast 16Q AA Ice Level running ok, with 4 AA 8Q pretty perfect. My Mars Quad SLI idle at 50-60c
but also reach 100c and they shut off.
The cooler is a joke ,why didnt Asus use liquid cooling. It would have been the ultimate thing.
So I need someone to build blocks!!
Im now checking for RMA or return if the the overheating cannot be solved.

Do you mean to be ranting at Asus and not Nvidia?

**jcool** · 08-21-2009, 01:29 AM

Muhaha.. yet another epic fail by Assus.

**Biker** · 08-21-2009, 01:43 AM

Buy 2 and really inefficiently heat your home

**texasreefer** · 08-21-2009, 04:01 AM

Well that's another Plus for ATI, considering they run their dual processors on one PCB. Good luck getting a waterblock, that thing would have to cost as much as the cards themselves, considering the block would have to be double sided, and there are so few that would be in demand.

Another victim of nVidia marketing.
