This CPU is so extremely sad that even if you could overclock it, it just wouldn't be worth it. Struggles to run windows 10. This type of processor belongs in tablets and phones.

Great for things like chromebooks or mobile devices, bad for desktops and laptops. This was my CPU for more than two years on a crappy Asus x551ma laptop and oh boy...once I upgraded it was a very very different experience.
