You sure can, you just have to make sure you have enough cooling for the processor. It is 100% up to you if you overclock or not.

just read up on the guides tom's has for overclocking because one bad setting could mess up your BIOS beyond repair

All that power and no idea how to get the most from it. Personally I am not sure you should. Though I do know you SHOULD, I just dont know YOU should. At this point, are you missing it? Maybe if we had more specs...
