2.4 OC 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 Conguration > Intel xHCI Mode then set
Intel xHCI Mode to [Disabled].
