Read the entire new AEGIS open-mode thread... As far as I can ascertain from it, there needn't be show-stoppers when it comes OC'ing. What we're waiting on, is for someone to start experimenting. But yes there's some issues that need to be resolved, so it's a friendlier env for n00bs. Else they'll come rocketing into open-mode looking for OC'ing bliss, & run head-on into them. But there's actually nothing terribly serious, it's almost entirely problem free now.
