Human beings have limited powers of comprehension. God, as he really is, is far beyond our imagination. Has God revealed only as much as our minds can conceive? Can he be known?

God has revealed to us everything we need to know for now, all that our imperfect minds can comprehend. He reveals himself in three main ways:
1) His dealings with others in the past through the Bible.
2) Creation (endowing animals with wonderful qualities)
3) His only-begotten son, Jesus. Jesus perfectly reflected his Father while on earth, so we can know how God would have handled the various situations he faced.
The first step in knowing anyone is to learn their name. Take your Bible and look up Psalm 83:18. You'll most likely find it there. It's Jehovah. This is the name God gave himself and appears over 4,000 times in the original Hebrew text. Most translations have erroneously taken it out. Makes it kinda hard to get to know God, doesn't it?

Sure. Do you think he delivered the Bible to us because He wanted to waste our time?
But if you want to search out God, you have to understand that the Bible is in code. The key to the code is in Ezekiel 1 and Revelation 4. That's where you read about God Himself.
Once you know the pattern of God, you can begin to unlock the knowledge of God.
To get you started, read this book that will show you how this is done:

If you believe it's beyond our power of comprehension, then is the question even valid? What about "Can he not be known"?
If a supernatural force exists, but has no effect on the natural world, then we cannot know it. If it does exist and HAS an effect on the natural world, then we can.

God does not exist, nor has he revealed anything. It is each religion or religious leaders who's imaginations are written in the books.

you ask a question as if others share your beliefs
god is neither male nor female
god is up to you to define
god can be the act of love by humans to each other (god is love)
look in the mirror. determine to be the change you wish to see in others
live your beliefs, don't push it on others
they will believe you in action, not in deed
if you have to push it, you tell on yourself you do not believe but doubt and need help yourself

No, especially since he has reveeled nothing more than the universe itself.
