I was going to build a new PC...
Just I was asking that can I unlock i5 4670 for full overclocking?

no, you'll need to purchase the "K" version.

 

[deadlyghost]

okay... But can I overclock 4670 ??

 

[Gaidax]

No dude, you can't, that's the whole point. You MAY be able to play with BCLK to some extent, but that is pretty worthless as far as overclocking goes.

 

[deadlyghost]

Hmm okay... But I have an AMD FX 6100 and I can overclock it without unlocking it... So whats with that?

 

[Gaidax]

That's because it is unlocked... Really, dude, are you going to bring out Pentium 2 as an example of Intel overclock next or something?

I5-4670 non-K can't be overclocked, end of story.

The answer to your question is no. However, like any other CPU, you can overclock by increasing front side bus speeds, ram speed etc - the old-school way that we have normally OC'd all along.
