Yeah, maybe. But as @Plouffe mentioned, change the paste, and as @TheKDub mentioned your motherboard has to support overclocking.

I overclocket a E8400 to 4ghz on stock cooler with stock voltage. So should be feasible.

Hello,

 

Not really you should look at something better or repaste your stock cooler because it's probably dried by now.

I doubt it. It'd depend on if your motherboard supports overclocking, as well as what the stock cooler you have is.

Specs: CPU - Intel i7 8700K @ 5GHz | GPU - Gigabyte GTX 970 G1 Gaming | Motherboard - ASUS Strix Z370-G WIFI AC | RAM - XPG Gammix DDR4-3000MHz 32GB (2x16GB) | Main Drive - Samsung 850 Evo 500GB M.2 | Other Drives - 7TB/3 Drives | CPU Cooler - Corsair H100i Pro | Case - Fractal Design Define C Mini TG | Power Supply - EVGA G3 850W
