Asus launches ROG hardware controllerEnthusiastically orientedBy Sylvie BarakThursday, 21 May 2009, 17:43AFTER TIPPING UP on the Internet last week, Asus' ROG OC Station has finally been officially launched as part of the Taiwanese firm's Republic of Gamers product line targeted at enthusiasts.The hardware controller gives users easy access to fiddle about with their system's specs, allowing them to tweak things like voltages, frequencies, temperatures and fan speeds without having to go through the BIOS, and a reboot cycle, to make every tweak. This, says Asus, gives its device the potential to "take overclocking to a whole new level of ease, accuracy and sophistication."Optimised for ROG motherboards - and their inbuilt IROG controller - Asus boasts its OC Station can benefit from ROG-specific features like CPU Level UP and ASUS EPU-6 Engine, but should also work with most other existing systems.The device can be bunged into two 5.25-inch bays and includes a 3-inch TFT-LCD display so users can actually see what they're doing to their system. The display can even be angled up by 30 degrees for those who want to shove it under their desk.
