    i think the person who over clocked it here changed his AW bios to the OCZ bios since the OCZ one allows overclocking. and yes this will definitely void your warranty.

    no, for heaven's sakes, because the OCZ BIOS is for the m17, not your m15x... simple, really.

    Visit the OCZ forum.. Look for my overcoocking guide. It's rather simple and straight forward. Search NBR for "overclocking ocz" and u should find it. Still on iPhone, otherwise I'd paste a link.
