To Gaccobee, If you're new to overclocking my guide AndrewK1 linked you to is not the one you should use, use this guide instead it's more for newbies.

The 2500 has "Turbo Boost" which bumps it up to 3.7 GHz. That's all you can do with it. (someone correct me if I'm wrong)

Also, please just make a new post if you have a different question than the original one.

Overclocking on this deosnt really work you can get to 3.7 as mentioned through turbo boost, im not 100% sure though.
