The K in the CPU name means it is an unlocked CPU. You should be able to overclock it.

However, you need to be careful about overclocking to ensure you are not burning out your CPU with high temps or volts.

I would suggest getting something like MSI Afterburner and read about your CPU. There are sites out there that will tell you what others have gotten in an overlock. Slowly overclock your system in small steps and try to reach those goals etc...

The best advise I can give it to make sure you do it in small steps. Do not just crack everything up.
