    I know that the M11x (and i believe all the other M1*X's) can be overclocked right out of the box. However my M11x is coming tomorrow and I read a lot about the BSOD problems some people get when overclocking. Should I play it safe and boot up my M11x and go through the set up AND THEN OC, or am I safe just OCing right when I turn it on.



    thanks

    it won't hurt anything to overclock right out of the box, but really no point. I'd recommend get through the initial setup, and then overclock away.
