Does this system allow shareable profiles ?

It would be good. Say person X tweaks everything and enables a 4ghz stable OC, It stores info such as motherboard ram and cpu type. The settings are then able to be passed to others with a matching configuration.

OC'ing is far to fiddly for many due to the vast amount of settings that need tweaking to get things just right.

Sure the same components don't always achieve the same performance, however they are close.

Call me old fashioned but i prefer tweaking the bios and rebooting the machine 100 times to get it right, gives you a real sense of achievement once its stable, however times change and this little bit kit looks lovely so id like to have a go, see whats its capable of doing

Looks expensive and uses 2 drive bays.

I'll be sticking to the BIOS for now

Standard Asus Rampage (and RE2) boards allow for on the fly overclocking anyway on a small little screen the size of a USB stick, with the controls directly on the motherboard (or bound to keys in the case of the Gene).

This just moves everything related to that to a screen with some dials. For top line overclockers pushing the boundary, this would be a lot easier than trying to change settings when dealing with LN2 everywhere.

Cant say i see my self using Liquid Nitrogen any time soon, but yeah i guess it would be a help if i was, just like anything and everything their always finding ways to make things easier and more accessible which in part is a good thing, but it does draw away slighty from the skill and patience involved in overclocking?
