as far as i know, you cant overclock on server boards

I have heard this a few times sadly... So it must be the case?! 
Might have to wait and check out the Bios to see,,..

Actually another question, is there any like third part software that can overclock the cpu? I know there are such things for gpu's..
Might not work anyway because of the motherboard?
