no you can overclock on that board.

The general rule is you need a Z board and a K cpu for overclocking. But like every rule there are exceptions, this mostly falls to the Pentium G series cpu where you can use a non Z board for overclocking.

Did you have a typo my friend, is it no you can't or is it really no you can?

I believe he meant no you can't overclock on that board.

Now you could possibly try, but I wouldn't recommend it, not on that board.
Just because it has heatsinks on the VRMs doesn't mean it can withstand the heat.
Seems like a cheaper end of 2-way SLI as opposed to the better ones.

Is this a build you already have or are looking to buy?
What are your requirements? Was it on special offer?

More info please, help us help you

Sorry.... no you cant

The multiplier is locked to boost speeds

The mobo has a locked multiplier so might OC slightly via BCLK, but generally not really worth the efforts 😉
