Hi Guys,

Need help if anybody tried Overclocking G3258

I have this cpu combined with MSI H81m-p32l with 8gb value 1600mhz memory running @ 1333mhz with Hyper TX2 Cooler Single Fan

I am unable to get stable after 4.3ghz sometimes even at 4.3ghz

Temps are not the concern nor the voltages. Board offers maximum 1.4v for cpu core.

Do i need to change the motherboard for better OC.

I'd appreciate if ya'll can share your experience. icon_question.gif

Many thanks
Cheers

Changing board just to attain better OC is a waste of money.

You're better off changing that processor to a Core i3.

I see where you are coming from but i wont be changing the processor as i am a sucker for overclocking. I just want to know others experience.

Secondly to overclock G3258 one doesn't need a fancy mobo. OC is quite good on budget motherboards like H81/B85. I hope people are willing to test this chip

P.S G3258 @ 4.5ghz is as good as i3 4130 stock

Back to your question - yes, you have to change board to get better OC.

As mentioned H81 / B85 is limited.

Got it!

I believe it also depends on your luck as how good a chip you get. Some chips overclocks more/less than others.

I am getting Asrock Z97m Anniversary Edition which actually is specially made to compliment G3258.

Fingers crossed thumbup.gif

Yup, depends on luck and what you're running.

I got mine to 4.6Ghz I think but not totally stable.

It depends on what you want, some people run Prime95 for stability test but for me I just use games and whatever I do that is processor intensive, if it passes then it passes.

what is your mobo and how you manage to reach 4.6
