No, that's a locked CPU. You need a K or X series CPU in order to overclock.

Can i do some kind of FSB overclocking or something?

Nope. You can enable Turbo Boost which will let your CPU speed itself up when there's a heavy enough load that the CPU actually needs to be faster, although that doesn't run all the time your CPU is running(I'd be worried if your CPU was constantly having to turbo boost)

Is there a way to lock it into turbo boost all the time?

No. You have to make sure it's enabled in the BIOS, and then double check in msconfig. If only one is enabled, you won't Turbo Boost. I believe it's enabled in the BIOS by default though.

 

To my knowledge, you can't have a CPU turbo boost the whole time it's running. You could look into a used i5-4670K if you really need an upgrade, or even an i7-4770K if you can find one that's cheap enough.

The problem is, i have the motherboard from an old ASUS M11ad (H81). Does that support a new CPU?

As long as the CPU runs on the H81 or Z77 chipset(a BIOS update may be needed for Haswell Refresh CPUs such as the 4690K and 4790K), although if you have an H series board you won't be able to overclock anyway regardless of CPU
