yes I do! 
. You can see my system specs on the left...anyways. This board has good BASIC overclocking options, such as FSB and PCIe ups. From the standard BIOS, you can...
change FSB
change multiplier/voltages, but not by much, voltage is capped at 1.45V, multiplier I havent dared experiment with
change memory clock/timings up to DDR400, and I have yet to master the exact timings
like I said, BASIC OCing. I have a 3800+, so theres not much need/capability for overclocking. Especially with my tempermental memory...2 different brands, 2 different timings, and it STILL runs dual channel lol. Of course that limits OCing massively, and I dont really care. 2.4GHZ stock W0000000000000000T!
one thing I should mention...theres TONS of beta bios' out there if you want more advanced OCing.
aside from slightly limited OCing on original BIOS, the board is FRICKIN SWEET! AGP 8X and PCIe X16....support for 939 and the upcoming M2....SATA2 controller....low price...extremely stable...you cant really ask a "budget" board to do much else!

Well, with a little effort and searching you will find the following review on THIS site. Done by Wizzard himself a while back.

I have one running an Opteron 146 @ 2.75Mhz.

lets see, I'm afraid I cant tell you my ACTUAL highest stable overclock, because my sensitive memory prevents me from getting there lol...I could probably end up with an OC from 2.4 to 3 Ghz, my best stable with reasonable memory clocks was 2.4 to 2.5. I suppose that with my memory at DDR266....I could probably get things higher.

Estimate anywhere from 300-500Mhz...Depending on how you like your temps....taking Into account your Room Temps.
Save up and upgrade the cooling as soon as possible....Your only holding the CPU back by not doing so.
When you get some good cooling and want to push It...then you'll have to look at Volt Modding that puppy.
Just be careful.......Frying a 64bit CPU Is going to Hurt alittle more I Imagine.
Good Luck.
