The I5-4460 has a locked multiplier(you can't overclock it), because it's a non-k chip.
Also you won't be able to OC because of the H87 chipset motherboard.

You can overclock it. but however its way harder to do. If your motherboard can support overclocking then yes you can. You have to overclock the BCLK and not all motherboards will allow that. You could go into the BIOS or UEFI and see if it's an option you can change.

BCLK overclocking is not that great of an idea(assuming that the board will allow him to do it), you might run into stability issues + performance gains are minimal(you might squeeze 200 MHz out of that chip at best).

Yeah true, i think if he wanted to overclock his cpu it cannot be an locked cpu. Usually H87 boards can overclock but, the small performance gains overclocking a locked cpu are not worth it.

It would be best for him to get a new cpu. Theres some used Haswell i5 CPUs on ebay for like $80-150
