I'm not 100% sure, and if I'm wrong I'm sure someone will come to correct me, but in short (with probably a few exceptions) isn't it only the H / X / Z series that allows OC for Intel ? (on top ofc of the unlocked Intel CPU's)

EDIT : you ofc can still OC RAM on all boards

that board is not overclockable its one of the very first boards you unlock well before you get to lvl 7 when you can start overclock in the bios also lvl 7 is where you get the first overclockable boards

bummer IRL(in real life) this board is overclockable i checked on Giga's site...I'm at levl 16 and just begun trying OC....don't like doing it IRL...so i don't like it in game...such a hassle...i'm doing the one that the guy asks to oc the cpu to 5000mhz and the gpu to 2171...put the biggest water cooler available in my store....3d mark crash...i i guess i'll have to do custom water cooling....just hate it!
Thanks guys for input....much appreciated!

Okay I stand corrected.. they do allow overclocking, at least according to the manual. It's a very very bad idea on that board and no one should ever do it though. It runs a very high chance of literally melting the VRM's. It's a very basic VRM design with no VRM heatsink what so ever.
