Can this be overclocked?

If you had this mobo with this processor, with the bios included with the mobo, would the Pentium G4560 be able to be overclocked?

If so, what is the highest overclock or estimate overclock you can reach just using the stock CPU Cooler?

Unfortunately.

No, it isn't made to be overclocked and neither is the motherboard.

no the G4560 is a locked cpu, you cannot overclock.

Is it possible to "Unlock" it?

Also, is there another CPU That performs like the G4560 but at the same/lower price scale that can be overclocked using this motherboard?

HybridWolf :

No its designed like that. It isnt a lock, unlock kinda thing. Its just locked and thats that.

I could be wrong but i think you'd have to put a considerable about of money in to get a good overclockable setup.

the only G series cpu that I believe was overclokable was the G3258 and its not multithreaded so even overcloked the performance would not equal the one your currently have. then only way to resolve this issue, would be a new processor and new motherboard as your motherboard will not permit you to do overclocking either.

your looking at I5/i7 6xxxK with Z170 board or I5/i7-7xxxK series with Z270 Board at bare minimum

getting an Intel Core i3-7350K would be ludicrous for the price they demand of it, your better off with an i5.

Would you be able to make a setup around £300 using PcPartPicker using that motherboard and cpu along with the ddr4 8gb ram and Zotac GTX 1050 TI ( Not Mini ) ?
