Is there some specific meaning to "unlock BIOS"? Unlock multiplier? What CPU do you have in that PC? Does it have an unlocked multiplier? I doubt that it has the Intel "Z" series chipset that is generally required for overclocking on Intel.

In short, I don't think (offhand, at least), that you're going to be able to do what you think that you might be able to do with this.

I would love to stand corrected, and see someone overclock a locked CPU in an OEM branded PC, but generally, that doesn't really happen.

Need to buy an Alienware or Falcon Northwest or something next time.

Well it has i5 2500 non k and i have k cpu to and both works. that's y am asking because i5 2500k works but everything is locked. the screenshot is sent is with i5 2500 non k.at least intel extreme utility should work but locked........................

You still need chipset support to overclock. You need an overclocking supported chipset, which OEM branded PCs other than Alienware and other boutique builders rarely use.

You can't just drop a i5-2500K unlocked CPU into any PC (of the appropriate compatible socket), and use Intel XTU to overclock. You need the Intel overclocking chipset component present too.

Don't ask me, that's the rules that Intel set down for overclocking on their platform, starting with Sandy Bridge (i5-2500K is a Sandy Bridge CPU).

Overclocking is possible up to the highest turbo bins but must be unlocked. This is true for most chips up to Haswell, where a microcode glitch even allows unrestricted overclocking. Even xeons can be overclocked as a result of that microcode glitch.
