There will be those of you who remembers overclocking the way it used to be, setting motherboard jumpers and calculating multipliers. Although a fair amount of knowledge is still required, software tools are available for tweaking your hardware on-the-fly from Windows without ever having to enter the BIOS.

The ASUS OC Station is a pretty cool idea, and we like the concept. However it does have one glaring omission and that is quite simply that it is a Windows based overclocking tool. There is no getting around that, and what it means is if you enter the wrong setting or get a little over zealous, the system will crash in one way or another.
