One of my friends just built a new PC, and he didnt know that H77's couldnt OC, and here he is, with a 3770k and a mobo that wont OC

Is there any way to circumvent this?

Nope, limited by chipset. Only way to OC is to buy a z77 motherboard.

Or some of those ASUS H87 boards

He might be able to do a baseclock OC but that varies from board to board. The only way to properly overclock is with a Z chipset board.
