    It's a near certainty that you can flash the bios.

    The questions you should ask yourself are:

    Have I located the proper new bios for my particular motherboard?

    Do I know how to do it?

    Why am I doing this?

    If it goes wrong, you are in big trouble.

    Have to research for it, and since the stock bios dosn't have the option for overclocking, i think i can give it a try

    Whoa!!!

    It's an Intel board.

    You can't put the bios of your choice on a motherboard.

    It must be made for that particular board.

    Intel boards are good products, but not known to have a bios with overclocking choices.

    A new bios is not likely to solve that problem--it will not have good overclocking choices either.

    If you want to overclock, you would have to get a motherboard designed with that in mind--such as an Asus or Gigabyte. They are usually good quality and the bioses have the choices overclockers like--voltage adjustments, RAM speed adjustments, etc.

    You can go to Intel site and research the most recent bios for that board, but I would be very surprised if it had any improvements an overclocker might use.

    I have an Intel board myself, but I never intended to overclock. Intel boards are generally sold to people who don't have any interest in overclocking.
