Hardware-based Overclocking with the New Asus ROG OC Station
Asus today introduced the the ROG (Republic of Gamers) OC Station, a pure hardware-based, bay-mounted device with a 3-inch display that takes OCing to a whole new level.
When used in conjunction with ROG motherboards, the strikingly-designed OC Station grants users on-the-fly access to overclocking parameters, ROG-exclusive features, fan speeds, system information and even a photo slideshow function.
The OC Station provides users with quick access to system voltages and frequencies without having to enter the BIOS. Users can overclock their systems on-the-fly via a knob, even during busy benchmark runs or actual gameplay. The OC Station also interfaces with the embedded iROG controller on ROG motherboards, enabling users to manage ROG-exclusive features such as CPU Level Up and ASUS EPU-6 Engine at a hardware level. This allows users to achieve performance boosts and perform energy consumption tweaks instantly.
The OC Station's 3-inch display makes reviewing the system's settings easy and the adjustable faceplate can be tilted upward 30 degrees for better viewability while sitting down or standing. Similarly, the OC Station'sinterface?consisting of a large knob and clearly-labeled buttons?makes navigating through its functions effortless.
The OC Station can be installed in any PC case, where it occupies two 5.25-inch drive bays.
