Hello How do i overclock my i5 -3470s its only running on 2.9 Ghz Also Only Having 2 Cores only

I Have an ASUSTeK Computer INC. P8Z68-V LX (LGA1155)

It's base frequency is 2.9, while on Turbo(which activates automatically) it can reach 3.6Ghz.

Overclocking non-K/X chips is a hassle you don't want to deal with(probably), so I'd strongly advise against since it can mess up with the CPU and other parts

what about the cores on the intel page it say it got 4 cores but task manager or cpu z said its only 2 cores?

Perhaps you're having a wrong reading or you're looking at the wrong info or name of the CPU.
The i5-3470S indeed has 4 Cores and 4 Threads...

Are you sure yours ain't a i5-3470T? This model has only 2 cores.
