I have a i5 3rd generation and was wondering if I could overclock it. I have a Dell motherboard from a optiplex 7010.

I suspect no. I don't think Dell allows changing the multiplier in their BIOS, and this assumes you got an unlocked CPU in the first place.

No, because system providers really don't like overclocking your best bet is try to find a decent used mobo like a

Even then you probably cant do much, if you have a locked CPU. Getting a new board for that chip won't be worth it

Just build a new system

 

Or just swap the cpu for a k cpu, put some cooling on the vrms, then overclock via throttlestop

 

If you wanna mess with voltages you can prob mess with voltmodding though its prob gonna be a pain in the ass

Probably not a single on as a dell uses specific front panel connectors
