This is you manual, on page 18, it says you can overclock, but it looks like
it is done with switches, not by the bios.

http://www.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/socka/kt133/a7v-e/a7ve-101.pdf

You have to match you CPU frequency (which I do not know) but it is not 1300
(this is totally different number), it would be around 100 Mhz.

Is this board new? If so, I would return it.

They have a newsgroup or member forum in Asus, maybe this can help you more.
Here is the link
