On the far left, we see the current CPU frequency, which may be useful if you're running something such as Intel speed step.

The overall look of the unit is very much like what we see on aftermarket car radios, with speedometer looking dials. The Front Base also comes equipped with a microphone and headphone jack, an additional front USB port, along with the 4'' display capable of showing you all the readouts from your PC. RushKit gives us a quick look around the product:Īsus have come up with a dual 5.25inch bay device which allows customisation of many features from the majority of recent ROG boards from controlling fans, adjusting overclocks, reading POST data, and also simple readouts such as temperatures and the current time. However, with Asus' new ROG Front Base, we're left with a little nostalgia where going back to the fancy front fan controllers is still 'cool', and with the ROG Front Base, it actually does look really good. The results of this are usually a very stealthy looking front panel and without any messy looking cables to see going to optical bays or fan controllers on the inside. Most of us at OC3D have now moved away from optical drives, and in the majority of cases we prefer hard wiring fans to fan speed reducers so as to avoid having to use a fan controller on the front panel. Some of us prefer a more minimalistic front panel on our cases.
