you can overclock anything. it just will it work or last.

First thing is when you run a program like prime95 does your cpu reach its max temp or does it stay below it. If its hitting it max temp then you will not be able to overclock safetly. if its not then you have room to overclock some. each cpu is and hardware configuration is slightly different so till you do a baseline test you don't know.
