People are going to come in here and say you cant overclock it but you can. Look up intel limited overclocking. You should be abke to overclock it up to 400 mhz higher then the current turbo for any given current turbo speed given a certain load and temps.

It doesn't have turbo so can't be overclocked unless you change bclk which isn't recommended. The 400mhz only applies to quad core i5 and i7 since those have turbo. The 400mhz is also a result of 4 bins because there are 4 cores. While the g840 is a only a dual core.

Take a look at the settings, multi is 28. It's a bclk oc, 28x108=3ghz.
