So yeah, it looks like a gadget that Batman pulls out of his utility belt, but ASUS now includes an OC panel. You can use it externally outside the OPC, but also install it into the PC with the help of a 5.25" bay (included). The ROG device features two modes of operation, Normal and Extreme, resulting in overclocking and monitoring capabilities.

It can be used as an external module, providing on-the-fly voltage, frequencies tuning as well as access to Subzero Sense, VGA Hotwire, Slow Mode, and more. Navigation buttons are intuitive and match the aesthetics of the module. It can also be integrated into the chassis to display important info essential for overclocking, as well as quick access to CPU Level Up and CPU Fan Speed Control.

Mounted to a bundled 5.25 inch bay adaptor the unit can be seated in your PC chassis and be used for monitoring mostly.

The OC Panel is a true marvel for overclockers which is directly connected to any Z87 ROG motherboard and shows readings on the on-board display and can also allow for VGA hotwire, VGA SMB, 4 x 4 Pin power connectors and several other overclocking features.

The OC Panel offers lot of features for overclocking and extreme overclocking. Overall the ROG OC Panel is a great move, since ASUS is able to move quite a few features from the board into an external device.
