Can I boost my CPU speed on an Intel Core i5-2400 with a P8H61-M LX2 board? Yes, but you need to be careful. Since your power supply only gives 400 watts and you want to avoid extreme temperatures, don't push the limits too hard. Just try it slowly while watching for any weird noises or warnings instead of going crazy.

You can't push your processor harder because your parts are already set to their highest safe speed.
