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. Many thanks Cheers

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

QUOTE(goldfries @ May 10 2016, 05:22 PM) 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 This post has been edited by java19119: May 11 2016, 05:22 PM

QUOTE(goldfries @ May 11 2016, 05:30 PM) 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
