Good to see that 8gb ram work with the mars, seems like a good board.

I would like to see some CPU overclocking. Its great that it overclocks the memory stably, however, its CPU speed and stability that will ultimately count.

I got one last week Foxconn Mars Living Review Nice stable 3.6k will post on virtually anything but voltage settings are quite coarse & i'm having difficulty getting 24/7 stability at say 470x8 which was a breeeze on the Abit IX38 Quad.
luck

The tim is not what is holding the 680i boards back , it's the total design that does....and prolly a big price limit set by Nvidia for big profit gains...
Question : Why do some overclockers switch into d*ckmode when money is involved
Remark : They call me Pro Asus Saaya yupp, I agree

Got a problem with your OCZ product....?
Have a look over here

Tuning PC's for speed...Run whats fast, not what you think is fast
Can you please provide some more details? Here or in the Linpack thread.
For proper testing, problem size should be set to 30000, and test ran at least 100 times, better yet 200+ times.
Also, if you can, always use 64bit version as it loads both CPU and RAM much higher than 32bit Linpack. And you will notice it will give much higher Gigaflops rating.
Im not sure this Linpack is really any good, it loads up the ram ok and after 2 hrs or so i had no errors.
It did report the speed correctly though where nothing else i tested did. Although foxconn may have a bios issue and CPU-Z was correct...i was setting 10.5x400 and ram at 1000.
OS Vista 64bit, copied your settings from the linpack thread, it was testing 7.5gb of ram.

I hope you do know that Foxconn is one of the largest OEM suppliers out there. My 2 Intel XBX and XBX2 boards were made by Foxconn ( had their name all over the board PCB with Intel sticker slapped on :P ).
About this board. Its a very good clocker. Very less droop, proven under LN2 / DICE.
Its not available even in India though. Foxconn was a big name in cheap entry level boards here just few years back but now noone is distributing them
Here are the links to the LN2 / DICE run from a fellow o'clocker on this board.

Thanks for answer Tony
I know Win XP only detects 3gb of ram..
But this is the first board that only detects 2,75gb..
Where do you find the "Hardware remapping" function?
Never saw something like that,never had to care about that too..
I'll give Vista a try some days..By now for me it's not necessary to upgrade to this OS.
This "Mars" is a very nice board,one of the best buildt i've seen for a while(specialy after an X38 Quad GT..).I like it..
Seems to be a great board for extrem O/C,LN2 and so on..But for 24/7 use,not sure
sorry to bother all of you with my "stupid" questions..
I know that here is most O/C threads than "general" hardware problems..
FOXCONN MARS ROCKS ! had my mars 2 months or so have throwed everything at it and it just keeps on clocking ya gotta love the bios
waiting for a e 8400 to really clock it up .. board is rock solid esp memory clocking mem volts solid no droop or deveation eyema running buffalo firesticks 1gigx2 on 1~4 divider and cant find limit due to locked cpu divider running pent D's right now
built many systems for cust. using foxconn boards and never seen 1 die !

OVERCLOCKERS MAG..http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...d.php?t=197660
thru the day i don't have time to run it, OCZ are pushing 4 and 8GB memory kits and im being begged to show setup configs to help end users and reviewers all the time so my boards are on and off.
temps wise, they will be low, i use a watercooling system with outside cooling and over 2KW capacity, so there is no way you would be able to compare against my results here, the only test would again be for me to tun prime VS OCCT, Vs Linpack etc...again i just don't have that time right now

Tuning PC's for speed...Run whats fast, not what you think is fast
lets put it this way,90% of all our 4GB and 8GB issues are related to tRFC, the boards that stop at 42 make up the bulk of this 90%
SPD has helped, but you have to remember if I force 54 thru SPD then there is a performance hit at 800MHZ if the user decides to leave AUTO settings.

We have old foxconn boards here in denmark.
But no P35,X38 or anything
How about germany, England, Sweden or Norway ?
If you know speak up XS user

Exactly. Even if it launches as a tier 1, which i guess foxconn will rank with , it's still ??? long away . I thought i'd pick the mars up & have a play till x48 finally appears..Blackops will take some time. Its their flagship X48 board so it still has some time to roll out.
