    I'm pretty sure that overclocking a 5450 will not provide any noticeable performance increase.

    It won't really help as the 5450 is basically a card designed to add features to a standard PC such as multi monitors. It was never meant for gaming.

    As others pointed out the 5450 is just a standard video card so it won't overclock good

    For gaming, you could sell it and upgrade, there's plenty of cheap but decent cards out there.
