That processor is not unlocked, so it cannot be overclocked with UEFI or Alienware software settings.  For that you'd need the "K" processor.

But, IF you're extremely careful and know what you're doing then you need to adjust the bus frequency to overclock but I still wouldn't recommend as its a small improvement in performance.

What I would do is keep the laptop in High performance mode so its always hitting Turbo all the time.
