Does anyone know whether it is possible to overclock the following motherboards from Intel?

H55 Tom Cove
H55 Hunter Cove
P55 Whitesburg
P55 Warrensburg

And if so, are they any good compared to the likes of Asus or Gigabyte?

I'm sure you've already resolved this, but apparently H55 boards can't be overclocked. At all. Just called Scan to ask about potentially unlocking mine, they said it can't be done but they'll refund me for the board...

A P55 should be fine though, just remember it'll mean you can't use the integrated graphics. Not that you'd want to, I'm sure.
