Title says it all.

No. Elite Arcanist Cyclonic Rift .

4/15/2013 If you are instructed to cast a spell with overload without paying its mana cost, you can't choose to pay its overload cost instead.

It's also under the rulings on cyclonic rift and elite arcanist:

"7/1/2013 You cant pay any alternative costs such as overload costs. You can pay additional costs such as kicker costs. If the spell has any mandatory additional costs, you must pay those."

Please link your cards

Cyclonic Rift

Elite Arcanist

You can exile Cyclonic Rift , with Elite Arcanist , but you can't cast it for it's overload because it's CMC is on the top right. While the Overload cost is just an alternative cost.
