Intel micro boards generally have poor overclocking features. Some can not be overclocked period. I'm not familiar with your particular board or BIOS. ASUS and Gigabyte are generally known to build high quality boards for the overclocking enthusiast. HTH.

The problem is that the BIOS of the motherboard has to support overclocking option and it may not. Without this support, you CANNOT overclock the board. Traditionally, Intel retail boards have zero, or extremely limited overclocking options. You would have to get into the BIOS and look/play with the options (don't save anything yet!) to see if it will allow you to do things like change the FSB speed on the motherboard. If not, you're out of luck and will need a new board.
