No overclocking on a non Z board and locked cpu. If you're after more performance maybe look at 4770/4790.

If the BIOS doesn't allow it, don't try whacky stuff that could possibly damage the hardware. The clock speed can't be increased through the multiplier, if its locked, but some tend to do BCLK overclocking(?), which, even if you manage to, you'll not get any noticeable performance increase at all, special on these older chips.

You could overclock the integrated graphics though. That's the only thing which you'll be able to overclock (aside from RAM and stuff) and also get a slight difference too. (also, if its supported by the BIOS only)

try rise bclk to 110mhz. I think your mb is GIGABYTE brand and you can overclock
