As far as I know, overclocking is not possible on the H61 chipset. You would need a motherboard that has either the P67, Z68, or Z77 chipset. I've been a member of Overclock.net for over 4 years, and I haven't seen anyone doing any Sandy Bridge overclocking on any other chipset.

As far as I am aware, Gigabyte offers some form of overclock on the H61 chipset, but I'm not entirely sure how they do it........perhaps BCLK only?

I doubt you can OC with that chipset, as TwoCables said, it is more for the graphical performance than CPU performance.
