I aim to boost the overclock of my Intel dual core E7500 to 3.00GHz or higher, but I want to ensure it’s safe given my current system limitations. I’m planning a new PC purchase later this year, but for now I’m limited with this one. Here are the details you asked for:

I question whether BIOS would allow any overclocking. Manufacturers of brand-name computers typically have very limited BIOS options. If it does exist, a few hundred MHz wouldn't justify the hassle.

If feasible, a few hundred MHz won't cause harm. It worked well at 3.1GHz on a standard Asus P5QD-Turbo board. As long as voltage changes aren't significant, any overclocking should be fine.
