Actually, it's right in line with philosophy on "lite" or budget boards. They don't cater to overclockers so they limit your options in many cases.

"Lite" boards often have many cut down capabilities, including weaker power circuitry so they discourage overclocking by making the steps so big that most chips can't be overclocked to the next level.

Try a new BIOS if one is available...
