Well those cpus tend to run quite hot. Make sure your fan is on full speed and then check temps. If below 50C on load then consider overclocking.

Also to Intel boards other than 975 and x38/x48 allow overclocking? I dont think they do.

only way u would be able to overclock on that board u will have to use a windows base OC utility

u can use clockgen and i think systools
