I don't THINK so, but it does turbo up to 4.1GHz on its own already

Where'd you read that? They're probably right, I just didn't find anything by quickly Google searching

it was on some dell forum i think. google really doesnt help. but it would make more sense if it was the other way around

That's really what I was thinking, I'd imagine that the Vega graphics could probably be taken up using Afterburner or Trixx, but I've yet to see any documentation saying the CPU is overclockable. That doesn't mean it doesn't exist, I just haven't personally seen any

I don’t get how a NUC would be overclockable, the form factor doesn’t have the cooling to support higher clocks.

the form factor can support a 100w processor just fine. im thinking if i get the 65w version i could have more headroom

It's not an unlocked processor according to intel.

Only the 8809G is there.
