New rig: Should I overclock right away or just test @ stock?

The details of this new rig are in my profile but it's based around a B350 mobo, R5 1600 and my 1070 FE

 

Almost done with the drivers but I am debating whenever or not I should go through with the BIOS update to AGESA 1.0.0.6 ( I'm on 1.0.0.4a out of the box) since my ram is Flare X 2400 and was autodetected at that frequency and correct timings out of the box. 

 

I was thinking it's kind of late tonight so I rather test drive a few games first but I am also tempted to overclock a bit right away, thoughts?

test at stock first as a benchline. that way you can see what kind of improvements you're actually getting from overclocking.

The Wheel of Time turns, and Ages come and pass, leaving memories that become legend. Legend fades to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the Age that gave it birth comes again.
