Can I overclock A4-6300 on msi A78M-E35 motherboard?

[omsaibilimora]

I've updated bios to the latest version(Oct/Nov 2014) & set all cmos defaults.
problem is that
1) It doesn't let me increase base clock more than 105,
2) can't set dram frequency more than 1600 mhz while the mobo is advertised to do it upto 2133 mhz with overclocking.

somebody please help me

That's a locked CPU. I don't recommend overclocking it using the base clock if you want it to last. However, if you are determined to do so, this might help:

Your base frequency limit of 105 may be a feature of the motherboard itself or you may need to change another setting before that can be raised any higher. I'll look into it for you, but honestly, overclocking that CPU is not in your best interest. What is your purpose in overclocking it? If you wanted to overclock, why didn't you buy the K version with an unlocked multiplier?

If your trying to increase gaming performance, you're not going to get it from a base OC. If you're using actual 1600mhz modules and trying to OC them to 2133mhz, that's not going to work either. You can OC a 2133mhz module to RUN at 2133mhz, but if you change the frequency of a 1600mhz module to 2133mhz and increase the voltage to a level that allows it to be stable, it's just going to burn up without some serious help with cooling.
