no, sadly you cannot. that is a locked processor. the only way you will be able to overclock it is if your motherboard supports some kind of non K overclocking feature. you can also try raising the base clock, but you might not get much of a boost. sometimes if you are rather lucky you can get 8-10% boost with base clock bumps. It cannot hurt to try, just make sure you RAM is stable as it might overclock as well with the base clock increase. Also you would want an adequate power supply, and a motherboard with a power delivery system meant to handle overclocking.
