Rooted and Overclocked sensation ICS update

I bought what was advertised as a HTC sensation XE but turned out to be a Sensation that was rooted, overclocked and had beats audio added.
Now with ICS coming out, how will this affect my phone ? Will i need to revert it to the stock settings and if i do that what will happen to my the overclock and beats audio ?
I'm a bit reluctant to revert to stock as i'm worried about ruining it if i were to root it again.​
 
Just curious, the Sensation XE has red buttons and beats logo on it, how did you get the wrong one?
Since you phone is already rooted and running custom ROM (most likely custom kernel and recovery), you will not be able to get ICS over-the-air update like stock Sensation. Since stock kernel limits your CPU at 1.2 GHz, you will also lose your overclocking (and beats audio as well).
If you still want ICS with 1.5 GHz CPU and Beats audio, I would suggest that you try custom ROMs based on HTC ICS update for Sensation with Beats audio, such as Android Revolution HD 6.5.1 XE. If you don't like all these, you can just flash the stock RUU and wait for the update like a normal Sensation.
