    Guys just got my M14x a couple of days ago and after using M17x and M18x it feels like a netbook a very powerful one!

    This lappy is amazing, the portability and performance it yields! Loving it so far.

    My Temps through Vantage fulll run don't exceed 84c on the CPU and the GPU runs very cold!

    It's the perfect complement for a Desktop Replacement :)

    I'm glad your M14x is working right out of the box.

    It truly is an amazing laptop. Good luck and have fun with it.

    Thanks, can anyone quickly fill me in on what the OC options of the 555 are currently? Any VBios available? recommended?

    What I found so far is that MSI Afterburner is the way to go and stay <760 core and <850 memory... is this correct?

    What temps are acceptable with this GPU? Thx and sorry for all the questions.

    I use MSI Afterburner, and my clock is 750/1500/1100 (Core/Shader/Mem) for the Temp as long as it is under 80C you'll be fine. With that clock I got between 50C ~ 65C on TF2, Fallout 3/NV, Portal 1/2, L4D 1/2. And between 61C ~ 75C for high graphic intensive games like BFBC2, Crysis 2 etc...

    For the VBios, sorry I cant help or answer that because I use it as if anything wrong happen, the warranty wont cover that (AU/NZ Only).
