Foxconn, or Hon Hai, may be a company when it comes to electronics production in Taiwan, but it has never really made it with enthusiasts. Plagued by incomprehensible product names and quite frankly uninventive looking motherboards - the being a pe...
The Foxconn Mars is a reasonably good board that overclocks pretty well, but it's not fast, particularly cheap and the core bundle is a bit off. The Quantum force is here to stay, and the Foxconn Mars is a solid first effort at an enthusiast board but...

We want to start out by thanking Foxconn Technology Group for sending us an Engineering Sample of their first ever gaming motherboard based on the new Mars series. We’re looking at the P35 chipset based motherboard today and since this is an ES, it...
While still an Engineer sample, Mars is showing some pretty good signs by reaching 515MHz FSB- thanks to the solid capacitors and the cool NB fan. Were sure that pefformance will also be tweaked by the time its release. We also like the looks and desi...
