Hello, your CPU is stuck in a locked multiplier state (non-K version) and your motherboard doesn't allow overclocking well (requires Z67 chipset). You might be able to increase the FSB in your BIOS, but this will also cause other components to overclock, leading to system instability. It's much simpler to unlock the CPU and push it to higher speeds, which would significantly improve performance.
