No, it's not possible to exceed 2400MHz on a B250 board.

There’s no standard method to perform overclocking on your B250M Bazooka, but some custom BIOS options might support XMP for memory. I’ve noticed others have managed to boost older CPUs on their original OEM boards using DIY BIOS setups. For your B250M Boozaka with an i5 7400, the locked multiplier means only the FSB speed can be adjusted. If you’re aiming to run your RAM at 2800 MHz, you’d need to explore alternative approaches beyond typical overclocking.
No modified bios are available for this board. I looked through the OC community briefly, but found none. You might need to purchase a board with the features you want. Apologies for the disappointing outcome.
Occasionally my young friend, our Bios collection appears to focus mainly on older systems. That’s why I checked OCN. This discussion might be useful—check it out here. https://www.overclock.net/threads/agesa-...n.1733304/ Updated: The Stilt is the only person I know who could assist you.
He would be the right person! By the way, my ROG board performance tweaks were created by him for Asus. He's always packed with work, but I'm sure he can assist you. The issue is, he might not have a board ready to test the bios, and he probably won't prioritize getting one just for one user. Still, don't be disheartened—there are reasons why bios mods sometimes fail, mainly due to hardware constraints from Intel.
Our bios collection is accessible only to registered users. I don’t have direct access to it myself. However, I can confirm there are no OEM-modified bios in our archive—though I’m aware of that. These bios are mainly designed for advanced overclockers and non-OEM motherboards.
You've already customized your C2Q with BSEL, but you're looking for extra boost.
