Damn cant overclock with this motherboard!

So first i had a H61 motherboard, so i was in the market for a new one since my 2500k was screaming to be OC'd, so i actually did some research and ended up getting Asus P8B75-V motherboard from newegg, people actually claimed that you can OC with this board and thats its a gem. Now this thing has a locked multiplier, cant trust the internet or Asus lol, it even says you can OC on the box. Anything i can do guys ? I cant really ship it back and wait for a new board, need a computer till the end of the semester is over.

Don't OC and just use it as normal? :-/

Could you buy a Z75/Z77 board, then return the other one for credit?N8A

Thats what im thinking of doing now. Thanks guys for all the advice. Is there any software that i could OC the CPU from desktop ?

This is such BS!! You know ASUS is so misleading, here i thought i was getting a nice deal! Why would they post all these pics too. Especially the CPU multiplier pic and description that you can change it ?All the overclocking options too ? WTF?

You don't get far overclocking 1155 with BCLK, it's not advised to take it any further than 105.
