Bios is locked. Some brands like MSI don't lock the BIOS, but if you bought an American brand, like HP, they lock BIOS.

Is what I got after a quick google. 2.4GHz stable with the worst core.

With a few simple add ons, I'd say 2.5ghz, IF YOU'RE LUCKY. Just get a cheap desk fan, remove the side panel and blow the hardware. Also, I read that the max temp for it is 55C, so check your temp and post it here.

I've heard a few IT tutors say BIOS' are unlockable, can't remember how though.

take out the cmos battery for a few seconds and put it back in. it will cause the bios to flash, also getting rid of the password.

I wouldn't overclock much more then. With 40C on speedfan, your temp is variable + 5C. So I'm going to assume the worst, and at 45C, you're 10C away from reaching the max temp for your CPU.
