In addition, the user-friendly knob allows timely adjustments by simply pressing it to switch menu options, including volume, GPU clock, and fan speed to suit different game requirements.
The OC gear also allows gamers to conveniently overclock, control system settings, and keep an eye on temperatures from the front of the chassis.
Ease in installation
Installing the OC gear is not at all difficult - even for first-time PC DIYers.
Simply install the OC gear to the chassis through an internal 4-pin USB connector to convey power and information to the motherboard, and that's all that's required - it's that simple.
