EVGA Readies Analog CPU Speed Meter

EVGA is known for several of its wacky accessories for overclockers using its motherboards. It's living up to its reputation with its latest one: an analog CPU clock-speed meter. By the looks of it, the device fits onto the case with its dial facing the user, latched onto the case using the side-panel screw. It connects to the system probably over the EVBot interface. Another possibility is that the device connects to the motherboard over USB (front-panel) headers. The meter's dial uses a GHz scale with starting unit at 1 GHz, going up to 6 GHz, with no distinct divisions between. So there it is, another means for you to show some momentary love to EVGA.

Musselsi'd buy it if it showed CPU usage instead of GHz.
That would be indeed awesome! Imagine that needle always oscillating from 0 to 100...
Awesome!!!!:rockout:

I was thinking.... If it surpasses the 6GHz than it restarts to 1 GHz all over again to 6GHz and so and so forth

Right. I assume that explains why i've lost physics 2 years ago :cry:

A temp gauge and a volt meter and I'm set..I am used to analog gauges anyway, all of my cars have been sixties cars...have to have the tach, oil, temp, and volt gauges. Stewart Warners baby!! :) .lol this is a cool yet gimicky idea. I can see some hotrod guys getting this for shits and grins.

They sort of ruin the concept by making it so fugly. The meter part is just blah, and the giant evga logo is tasteless.

Petty cool I think, depending on the price I might actually buy this.

I have my frequency in a widget on my screen, I don't really need this. Neat little showoff piece though.

Evga must be amazed people want this as we are seeing it and some wanting it.
They probably made some market research and when the results came back they were WTF ? for real they want toys like this ? well then let's give them.
If this sells then gainward , asus , gigabyte ... will follow :)

actually its not 1000 but 1024 (theoritically) so 1 gig is 1024 mb but on actual size you just have 99+some mb

LittleLizardwe are talking of MhZ, the frequency, not Mbytes which is a digital storage measure :laugh:
oh yeah, i must be drinking too much :banghead: for Mhz is 1000 :D

Only if this read my CPU usages, you know from idle to load similar to the meters in a Music Studio then i would get it. Sure it has to be at least 5-10 bucks with that feature. I am sure they will make one very soon.
