hi, i must be blind, i cant find the firmware on the rog front base support page, i only see a driver but not the firmware to flash the base. can someone please point to the exact location.

my front base has no sticker on the back. i have to flash i think

Open the FW update tool
2.Choose the “WB035v35.h00” file where you extracted the three files
3.Press Start
4.When finished, it will show “ROG Front Base update –Pass”
5.Turn off the system and remove the AC power for at least 5 seconds

Yes, Just extract the zip file and launch ASUS setup.exe

well i have updated but cant control the fans and the buttons dont seem to work, Reinstalled ai suite but nothing seems to work

Can you use the USB charger functionality?

Power down your system, but leave the PSU on so that the motherboard is in the 'soft-off' (S5) state, then rotate the knob until it says USB(S) where (S) is the lightning bolt symbol. Now press the knob to confirm. Try charging a device like a smartphone with it. If this fails, or you somehow cannot get the USB(S) mode to display, you'll know something is wrong with the front base itself.

i got it working, there is a exe in the rog file on the driver set, Asus needs to to improve instructions on this, when i click the OC button the pc as hard crash have to power down.its a neat "gadget" but needs to improve on the software or firmware side i guess.
