Can i5-4210u be overclocked?

[SSzczypula]

I want to ask is there a way to OC my i5-4210u. I have Lenovo Z50-70.

this is for notebook yes? i am not too familiar with this one, but for OC, it is usually the unlocked (k) version that can be OC'd, save for a few model.
so i am not sure. but, being a notebook, i think that you will probably encounter temperature issues, it is cramped and hot enough as it is. so overclocking it will add more heat.
also, isn't "u" suppose to be low power type?

As for temperature it's ok. CPU is constantly going in turbo mode from 1.7@2.4 GHz and temp shows about 60 degrees Celsius without cooling pad under laptop. If OC would be possible i would bay cooling pad to menage temperature. As for turbo mode it goes from 1.7 to 2.4 GHz for two cores and to 2.7 GHz for one core. I hope there is a way to force 2.7 GHz turbo for both cores

well, see if you can set (in the bios) the clock to it's turbo value (2.7)

If it would be that simple I wouldn't ask . There is almost nothing in my Bios. Just virtualizaton on/of time boot sec. etc. Nothing OC connected. Maybe there is a BIOS modification or simply some software way to set cpu speed.

I found that many MB(but not mine) have option coled Multi-Core-Enhancement. I wonder if there is some software way to do that- forcesd max turbo value for all cores.
