It doesn't look good.
That board is definitely not made for overclocking, so I wouldn't expect too much.

even if the board was good for it you could only go up to the max turbo frequency which is 3.6 according to Intel. those chips are very limited in their overclocking abilities you must purchase a "k" series CPU in order to overclock much. such as a core i5-3570K along with a Z77 or similar overclocking chipset motherboard

You should be able to overclock the 3470 to at least 2 bins above the peak Turbo multiplier (x36 + 2). The max. Turbo frequency is 3.6GHz, so combined w/ a x38 multiplier ("all core" limit) and BCLK of ~105 you can probably hit 4.0GHz (4.2GHz on a single thread; x40 x 105).
