Probably not with stability. But no real ideas without the information like you see in my signature at the bottom of this post.

Welcome Busa, a few things you will want to do before you go any further.
Download Cpuid CPU-z, HWmonitor and Prime95.
Run prime 95 for at least 2 hours and keep core temps below 55 to test for stability.
You can post individual pics using the windows snipping tool of the CPU-z, cpu, memory and spd tabs, as well as a pic of the HW monitor.
What are you using to overclock it, using the BIOS is the recommended method here?
Here are a few links you can also read.

HWmonitor and Prime95. = HWMonitor opened and running where it can log temps and volts min/max. While HWMonitor is running you can begin Prime 95 Blend mode. Run for a minimum of 20mins so we get a ballpark of what is going on.
Capture the HWMonitor showing Min/Max of Cpu Temps, Core Temps and of course the voltages at the top of the HWMonitor menus. Don't care about HDD temps or GPU or the rest of that stuff.
You can use the Win 7 snipping tool to capture 'only' the menu we need and not the entire screen. We also need the CPUz showing the CPU TAB, the Memory Tab and the SPD tab located across the top of CPUz. Those three captures of CPUz and of HWMonitor will clue us in to what is happening at your end which we are not able to see otherwise. Thank you.

These are the types of information that most users supply in order to be able to help them very much.
CPU Tab in CPUz from CPUID com
Memory Tab in CPUz from CPUID com
SPD Tab in CPUz from CPUID com
And this is screen capture of HWMonitor (free version) from CPUID com
HWMonitor has been scrolled enough and large enough to show Min/Max of Voltages and includes the CPU CORE TEMPS fully visible.
This capture is made of HWMonitor after it has been open on the desktop logging Min/Max temps and voltages while Prime 95 was running Blend Mode test on all cores for at least 20 mins and then the capture of HWMonitor was made and it shows the Min/Max temps and voltages before P95 Blend was started and while running P95 Blend mode and gives much greater insight into how the system is performing without guessing.
In order to attach screenshots of images as suggested, first crop and capture the images with Snipping Tool found in Windows Accessories or equivalent. Then click on Go Advanced, a button at the bottom of every new post window. Then click on the little paperclip tool at the top of the Advanced post window when it opens. Clicking on the paperclip tool brings up the file browser/upload tool and the rest is fairly obvious.
