Short answer: Probably not.

Long answer: Overclocking settings are most likely locked out in the BIOS as it's an OEM PC. Plus the CPU cooling most likely isn't adequate enough to support overclocking.

Most, if not all "home based" PC's are not OC-able at all. Of course, now that I just spouted off, others will show systems that are OEM OC-able....

I do not include higher-end gaming type rigs that are much like the systems you or I would build at home from parts we might buy at places like Newegg....

Overclocking is just a way to squeeze out some extra processing power from a chip (or chipset).... Its the "poor guy's way to run a (sorta) higher-end system for half the money".....

The AMD Phenom II X6 1090t (stock at 3.2GHz) seems way under rated by AMD. I bet many 1090t's are being used daily near 4.0 GHz without a hiccup.....tho maybe using an aftermarket HSF of some type. Why they bothered to release the 1100t with such a piddly boost in stock speed is beyond me....
