“Comparing this rig to others in the market, I noticed that it's CPU's processor speed is clocked at 2.7ghz, compared to others with 3.3 - 4.0ghz speeds. Can the processor be overclocked (I'd like to hear some 1st hand experience in this) and how much?”

No its locked. It's fine for playing most games on Ultra. If you want to over clock build a PC. This case has good cooling with the I5. Mine runs super cool. thanks,
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.This isn't an unlocked "K" series CPU, so you can't do any manual overclocking of the chip. With that said, this is a Skylake chip, so it's capable automatically boosting itself up to 3.3 GHz
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The processor is locked, however this i5-6400 has Intel Turbo Boost technology, I monitor the speeds on mine and have seen up to 3.4ghz. Also, it is said that processor speeds are not a good indication of performance among different model processors. For instance, the i5-6400 may perform better than some lower-end AMD processors that claim higher speeds, in my understanding at least.
