O/C on SuperMicro P6SBA?

Is it impossible to overclock on this mobo?
tried everything!

On most supermicro boards, you can go inside the bios, and under the advanced chipset settings (or somewhere else), there's a mode # (with 0 assigned by default). If you change to mode 2, the FSB will be 103. Mode 5 is FSB 133 (but no 1/4 PCI divider, only 1/3). Mode 3 and 4 are for 83 and 112 FSB (not sure the order). You probably also need the latest bios for mode 5. Good luck.

strange, I had one of them, check ya manual, or the prints - it does 112fsb via jumpers - note the 66/100 jumper is in a separate place on the board to the normal fsb jumpers - took me ages to figure that i could get over 83fsb
