u overclock cpu( increase the multiplier only) in bios. for your i5, some motherboard lets u overclock it. but if you buy 'basic' motherboard, you cant overclock.

check in you bios if you can change the multiplier, if you cant, then you know that motherboard doesnt support cpu overclock

The i5 3330 is locked you are not going to overclocking it. Plus the bios on that oem board will also be locked down. So overclocking is most likely not an option.

Guys... that's a locked processor. The only way you could overclock it if through the BLCK frequency, but that carries large dangers of frying motherboard ports.
It has nothing to do with the motherboard in particular, it's just a locked processor.
As for the OP, Intel has certain limitations on overclockable parts - the CPU has to have a "k" at the end, and the motherboard has to have the "z" chipset.

i have i5-3330 and oc'ed from 3 to 3.4 Ghz >.>
3.4 is the max speed for all four cores.

yes, you do need a better cooler, not the fan that intel gave you. but first check in your bios first before you go and buy a new cpu fan

im using the p8z77 mobo. and oc'ed my i5. i know it's a locked cpu but my maximum cpu speed is more than 3 (3.2 Ghz turbo.) the way i see it, with locked cpu, maximum overclock is 4 bins higher (not sure what that means)

it is either set to 30x or auto, whichever it is, if you cant find it or change it then your chipset/motherboard doesn't support cpu overclock. guess that's it

Besides the fact its a locked oem board it uses the B75 chipset, which even the retail versions don't support overclocking.
