Hi ROG members.
Ok third attempt and this time this one came in working condition.
But it is showing static values for temp, CPU fan rpm, and MoBo temp,even (when I play game),only in desktop, nothing, values are all the time same.
It is also showing CPU fixed frequency of 3407 MHz which is not accurate.
Clock is showing -:-.
MoBo temp was nearly accurate as was the CPU fan speed but as I said it is always showing one fixed value.
I went to support site but I am a lot confused, what do I need to install to make this thing work?
Googling made me even more confused (links below).
So under support,what exactly do I need to install?
Should I install driver prior to hardware installation or after?
Do I need to install anything else besides driver?
I tried with Asus Rampage V Extreme MoBo and like I said it is showing fixed values.
I could hook up with my 2nd board Maximus VIII Formula.
In top right corner*I see code RSE,dunno what that means!!

Anyone please tell me what version of app,driver to install after installing front base to the case?
Do I need to install rog connect and other 3rd party apps?
I am on Maximus VIII Formula.

My recollection is that the Front Base had rather limited compatibility. Have you confirmed that it works with either of your boards? Also, if you do have a compatible board you want to make sure that the board has the latest BIOS. The Front Base also has a firmware that gets updated when you install the driver.

https://www.asus.com/me-en/supportonly/rog%20front%20base/helpdesk_download/
Front Base Driver:V1.01.28
FW:V57
and if you expand the Software section there is:
ROG Connect Plus

I am the second owner.Perhaps the first owner already updated firmware.
Will firmware update each time when driver is installed?
Regarding first question, I hope it will work,dunno, I am not an Asus employe.
And I am not updating BIOS just because of this, main reason is because my PC works without issues, and don't want to risk flashing BIOS and messing up the stuff with it.

The support site says the firmware is included with the driver. I'm not sure if the firmware is updated at the time of the driver install but it is most likely.
