The best way to oveclock it with the BIOS settings. You also should be careful with the temperatures, if you your planning to stay with the stock cooler.
You can check some results here to get a basic idea of what you should expect:

Anyway, if your bios is locked/can't increase voltage you need to change the motherboard, which in my opinion is not worth it.
