How to overclock Intel i3 - 2400 Series
Hello, I wanted to know if is it possible to overclock my Intel i3 2nd Gen & if yes. What is the maximum safe limit ?
If it doesnt have a K on the end of it like 2500K or 2600K then no you can't really overclock it.
As above, unfortunately that chip is not a k series CPU so doesn't have the unlocked multiplier you need to over clock properly.

You can only slightly over-clock it the old fashioned way (that being said, what is your motherboard)?
Don't bother, even if you could notch up the BCLK enough to even notice a difference you'd have a dead cpu very quickly. Best left at rated speeds mate.
I'm not sure there is an i3 24xx series to begin with?
2500K // GENE-Z/GEN3 // GeiL Evo 2133 // GTX 680 // m4 & 2TB Red // Xonar STX // AX760i // TJ08-E
All @ stock = High speed, no noise.
It's an i5-2400, unless you're buying an Acer all-in-one PC, in which they've decided to brand it the i3

updates in what sense? the chip is locked to those frequencies for hardware reasons not by the bios/software
