Hi there.
I understand there might already be a discussion about this, but I wanted to check if my setup was unique. With Skype, Task Manager, Chrome, email, and sticky notes open, my 2.50 GHz processor is clocking at 3.01 GHz. Should I consider overclocking? Can the fan manage that speed?
Only processors ending in "k" are suitable for overclocking. For example, I7 4790k, i5 7600k, etc. Additionally, this CPU is underpowered ('u' after 6500 indicates that), with a TDP around 35W (the exact value may vary). So, in short, you can't overclock this one.
