9the link is only a reference for the board)

i wonder if the board can handle overclock?

The bios is most likely locked, and you won't be able to oc that cpu.

Highly doubtful it has the options to do so. If it did, it is a 3+1 phase motherboard with no heatsinks on those VRMs, I wouldn't do it anyway.

If you want to overclock that CPU, grab a non OEM P55 based board.

Back in the day we used setfsb, don't know if you can still use it. Also you might be able to mod the bios.
