Can all Mobos handle an overclock?

GA motherboards been known to be good OCers for cheap price.

What mobo exactly is it ?
Have a search for Q6600 overclocking thread on here and beginners guide to overclocking and you'll find all the info you'll ever need and more : ).
 
Ive already looked through the guides but theres nothing as simple as say MSI afterburner

They all seem to go through the motherboard bios rather than software

Its a motherboard that came with a Packard bell PC
 
Overclocking a CPU is done in the Bio's unless you want some crappy turbo mode like you get with i7's that completely ruins the voltages.
 
It's not unusual for companies like PB and HP/Compaq to get cut down boards manufactered under OEM license. Quite often this can mean you don't get the sort of BIOS options you would get with a retail board. It can also mean the power circuitry is restricted to a lower wattage than usual, along with lower wattage PSUs.
