Maybe, all pieces of silicone are different and some chips overclock much better than others.
With that stated it is not advisable to overclock your setup.
One is you are using the stock cooler which will not be able to handle the extra heat generated.
Two your motherboard does not have Voltage Regulation Module heat sinks. Meaning the extra power draw from overclocking will cause overheating problems with the VRM.
So even though you might be able to accomplish it it is not recommended, as it will greatly shorten the life of your motherboard and processor.
