Yes, you can. The motherboard chipset only really limits northbridge OC capabilities, not the southbridge.

wait what.... i thought the chipsets replaced the north bridge and the south bridge o_0 am i wrong?

Chipsets can limit southbridge types and (I think) bandwith, as seen with AMD's FX series (PCI-E 2), but overclocking capabilites are not limited. They are judged by the chip itself, not the motherboards PCI-E slot.

No, the southbridge (GPU, SATA etc.) is part of the chipset, but the chipset cannot limit overclocking capablilites of a GPU. It can, however, the GPU (or any other expansion card)'s socket type and bandwith.

so northbridge = CPU socket and southbridge = chipset?
