I ordered a Rampage iv black edition, also i ordered a asus rog front base. I didn't receive them yet (still in shipping from newegg.com ), so that's why i am asking this question now.

My question is, the asus rog front base uses a special asus exclusive plug on the motherboard, so does the OC panel; so is it possible to have both of them installed at the same time?, Because during Computex there were pictures of both of them installed!?.

the picture of both of them installed is there: http://rog.asus.com/238052013/news/gallery-the-rog-booth-at-computex-2013/    (scroll mid way down the page) thanks everyone for your feed back!!

 

p.s. i am using a 900D, so yes i have room for both.

No. Your motherboard only has one ROG_EXT port. Both the OC panel and front base need an ROG_EXT port, so no you can't have both connected at the same time.

Um, none? The rampage 4 extreme doesn't have two, and I don't think any other board does.

You might be able to have one plugged in to power but not the motherboard, so that it still works just without software control, not too sure.

Essentially the front base is supposed to replace the OC panel, not go with it. They both do the same stuff.
