Hello victor_senpai999,

Intel does not offer support for overclocking; however, there are ways you can accomplish this under your own risk. Bear in mind that overclocking can be done on unlock processors, such as these models http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/gaming/overclocking-intel-processors.html Overclock Your CPU with Unlocked Intel® Processors. These models include an "X" or "K" as part of the model indicating that these are can be used to overclock.

If you would like to get more feedback on overclocking I would recommend posting in places like http://www.overclock.net/ Overclock.net - An Overclocking Community and http://www.overclockers.com/forums/ Overclockers Forums.

Regards,

Amy.
