so i am doing a super budget build and it includes a celeron 420 1.6 ghz single core cpu and a foxconn 9u g33mo2 motherboard. Is there any way i can overclock the cpu in linux mint or in the bios?

It's a locked CPU, so no.

They overclock the bus, which could result in system instability because it also controls varying aspects of the system, including PCIe, SATA, memory, etc.

Technically, yes, but it depends on current temperatures. I'm also not sure what overclocking software is available for Linux. The GPU cannot be overclocked in the BIOS.

I'm not convinced that the GPU is cool because the fan is quiet. It's a fan profile. 

 

You can try using the linked method above. I have no experience with overclocking GPUs on Linux.
