We do not provide any guidance or support on overclocking. It is important to clarify that on the 'K' processors the clock multiplier is unlocked. On a 'non-K' turbo-mode you can modify only the Max Turbo Boost Multiplier.

Please keep in mind that when a processor is overclocked the processor increases the core voltage at the cost of system stability, power consumption and heat dissipation and may damage or shorten CPU life.
