If your BIOS have a overclocking options then yes you can. Keep in mind that's not a motherboard created for overclocking and you should be very careful pushing your cpu on it.

If your BIOS doesn't offer control of FSB, and Voltage your options are very limited.Considering how inexpensive CPUs for that are I would look into just getting a better one.
From what I see here i7-875K is the fastest CPU and it's unlocked multiplier.

Your MB may or may not support this but it can be done by other methods anyway.

I do see the occasional XEON there. I would look into the X3470 which is the same speed as the i7-875K.
