P55 socket overclockable?

[SuperStroopwafel]

Hey guys,

 

My little brother wants faster render times, he has a Intel i7 860, I heared its a beast with overclocking. His motherboard has a P55 socket (DP55M01). Can you overclock with this board?

 

Thanks

 

EDIT: I mean P55 CHIPSET, its a 1156 socket.

I believe only Zxx chipsets are overclockable although I might be wrong

Is this an OEM system? aka Dell

 

If so no you cannot overclock

If you are planing on buying and FX8320 make sure to buy a decent 990X motherboard with it.
