u probably just cant overclock with your board. usually only the store bought boards (ie not oem ones) have overclocking features. sorry.

It looks almost identical to the A7N8X-VM

If you are willing to risk it, you could try flashing with the latest bios for that mobo, but make sure you save a copy of the old bios first. If it doesn&#39;t work you can probably put the old bios back, but I can&#39;t be sure, that&#39;s your risk.
