Despite the Acer and asrock Sharing a great deal and common hardware wise and being manufactured by same company (Pegratron), the Bioses are different in fact quite different...
If it is wise to use a tool from a completely different company made to work with their bioses and hardware tweaks, is this even wise for a marginal gain that will be hardly noticeable?
Not to mention Atom overclock can be done natively in the system bios without risky or potential damaging HACKS.
Like a wise man once said.
But if I had money to burn sure...
I have the acer 3600 230. It normally runs at 1.6ghz. I have it OC'd to 1.8ghz using the Asrock tool. I have been doing this for 2 years without a problem. There have been many discussions regarding this over the last couple of years and nobody has ever had a problem. It does give this unit a nice little boost. OC at your own risk.
As far as this ACER unit is concerned there is not a way to OC in the BIOS or I would have done it If you can, I sure would like to know how.
