No idea what you're trying but I think that you cannot overclock in VirtualBox...

 

Overclocks are done via the BIOS so overclocking using utilities in a virtual machine won't carry over to the real machine...

I doubt this would work. It would require a little more reading, but most OC's are done via the bios or vice versa. Installing a os inside virtual box and overclocking it would only overclock it's own virtual cpu cores etc. That's if virtual box even picks up that your changing speeds.

 

My gues, no you can't. But If I am wrong I would love for anyone to let me know B)

Short answer: No, you can't overclock your CPU using Virtual Box (or other Virtual Machine software), as you need to have access to the hardware (such as through the UEFI/BIOS) to control clock speeds (along with voltages and other similar things) and VM's don't provide that hardware access.
