2.4OC Panel

The OC Panel is a device that allows you to perform overclocking without the need to go to the BIOS settings or use software utilities. You can setup the OC Panel in an available 5.25- inch drive bay on your computer chassis (Normal Mode) or as an external handheld console on an “open-air” OC test bench (Extreme Mode.)

These modes are further explained in the succeeding subsections.

• Ensure that your system has adequate cooling designed for overclocking before using the OC Panel.

•When updating the OC Panel firmware, you have to disable the USB XHCI function in BIOS. To do this, click Advanced > USB Configuration > Intel xHCI Mode then set Intel xHCI Mode to [Disabled].
