Out of curiosity, how were you planning on overclocking since the bios is locked? Intel XTU?

You might get some overclocking with that but each system is different and experimentation is the only way to know what yours will handle.

I don't advise increasing Core Voltage, your stock heat sink wont handle that very well.

Plus I have seen some users get in a pickle with Software Overclocking. If it goes south and Windows wont boot, you will have to clean reinstall Windows as you might not be able to boot into Safe Mode either. It just happened to another user I dealt with last week. Backup Backup Backup first.

 

Just my 2 cents.
