Last I checked it didnt lock the AGP/PCI at least not on my last MoBo 8IG-1000MK its great for a monitor but not much else IMHO. ALWAYS better to do your OC in your BIOS when possible as its BIOS controlled not software controlled and less room for errors.
A tip for Gigabyte BIOS's as well press Cntrl+F1 on the main screen to open the Advanced Settings ;)
