ummmm its not a K version so from what i hear the "normal" chips wont go too far at all (~5%)

You can overclock it to its maximum turbo speed, I have no experience with these chips but I think you just need to change the multiplier and maybe voltage.

I believe Tom's did discuss this in their review of Sandy Bridge. Non-K cpus have pretty much a very very low headroom for overclocking since there is one clock generator for the cpu, pci-e and everything else.

What this means for the OP, is that increasing the (is it BCLK or FSB) would mean that you'd also increase the frequency of the PCI-E bus. This would also mean that you're increasing the frequency of the SATA controller, which if set too high, might cause data corruption.

The original i7 overclocking guides might still be applicable to Sandy Bridge, but be wary of going too high.

The H67 chipset on your mainboard CANNOT overclock the CPU multiplier.

 

It CAN overclock the built-in GPU portion if you don't use a discrete video card. You may also be able to overclock the BCLK setting, but that won't get any significant gains and may damage components and/or corrupt data.

 

If you had a P67 mainboard, you could overclock that 2400's Turbo Boost multiplier by 400MHz, but that's it. The board you have cannot do that though.

 

Sorry, you're pretty much SOL.

Sorry I missed the H67 so no you cannot overclock it and you will likely have to return it anyway see http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/coug [...] 34910.html

You cant overclock on the H67, however you can overclock your non (K) chip on a p67 to about 3.9ghz.

If it has anything to do with Thermaltake, it's a BAD IDEA.
