I have got a i5-4570 and was wondering if there was anyway of over clocking this locked CPU in anyway that would improve the performance of it

My system:

Windows 8
Intel i5-4570 CPU
Asus B85M-G motherboard
8GB Corsair Vengeance 1600Mhz
EVGA GTX 660 2GB GPU
Coolermaster Elite 500w PSU
WD Black 1TB HDD + WD Green 1TB HDD

Thanks for the help

Short answer No.

You will not be able to Turbo over clock it but it can done through Base Clock (BCLK) over clocking. Just know that if you are planning on BCLK then you will also be over clocking other items on your mother board such as your RAM be aware of your RAMs speed and recommended voltage because you will have to raise your RAM voltage to make it stable.

I do not recommend you try BCLK OC unless you know what you are doing or you are willing to replace any parts you damage.
