Question 1

When this is folded for fitting into a 5.25" drive bay how long is it? Is it longer than a DVD drive? Specifically for the Corsair 250D case, I want to know if it will protrude into the view from the window.

Accepted Answer

The "horns" extend about one inch past my Blu-ray burner, so I'd say that it is approximately 7.5 inches long, or approximately 6.5 inches ignoring the "horns".

Question 2

I bought just the unit.. I need the ROG_EXT CABLE and the meatballs drive bay enclouser for normal mode... Basically the asseories that came with it.. If antsy one could help on either of these products id greatly appreciate it!! IM STUCK AND NEED HELP!!!?

Accepted Answer

Send it back.  The thing is a useless gimmick.  If it didn't come with the accessories that were supposed to come with it, I would reckon that to be a valid and ethical excuse to send it back for a refund.  I would be more forgiving of Asus if they actually provided some information as to how to actually use this thing, but they've chosen to obfuscate.  It looks cool, but that's about it.  There's nothing that you can do with this that you can't do in UEFI.

Question 3

how many fan channels this thing have?

Accepted Answer

I actually have mine hard mounted in the case, so for me the only fan info I receive is from the CPU fan speed. I have not tried it as a stand alone component.

Question 4

will this work on a ASUS MAXIMUS Vii Z97?

Accepted Answer

I sure hope so Ronald. I have the same motherboard. At the moment I am busy routing wires and  water hoses. The OC panel will be the last item to be installed. After I POST and work out those issues. I should get to that point in about a week or 10 days. It is not high on my list at the moment. There does not seem to be much reason for me to OC as Devils Canyon is already there. For me the panel will be mostly added bling. Good luck on your build

Question 5

Has anyone tried this with the Crosshair V Formula Z board for AMD processors? I only see Intel boards on the compatibility chart.

Accepted Answer

I don't know about AMD boards but it does work with my Maximus VI Hero. All that I use it for really is for looks and to monitor my temps. I did some searches and it seems that its only for Intel boards, but I may be wrong.

Question 6

Does Asus OC panel work for Mainstream Motherboards, or just ROG Boards?

Accepted Answer

Only certain ROG boards. Looks like ASUS is favoring all the good ROG stuff for Intel

Question 7

Does do anything that the ASUS ROG Front Base Dual-Bay Gaming Panel does not do?

Accepted Answer

The Front Base is way cooler if you have the bays  imo.
