sucks as in what? can you adjust FSB, vcore, vdimm? can you adjust anything? lol Well, if you've already updated your BIOS to the latest, than that's it..

hold your horses there.. always go in small increments if you have not OCed your hardware before and don't know how well they OC. Go in 5Mhz increments, reboot, and test for stability. Have a read of the many overclocking guides out there.
ECS boards suck for overclocking. It lacks Voltage adjustments and such.
The only thing you probably can do, is try adjusting the FSB in small increments of 5mhz, and testing the stability of the system with each increase.
I use prime95's torture test to see the stability of my cpu.
