Your Experience Overclocking G3258?

I'm planning on making a OC G3258 build on a budget (just need CPU + Mobo) And I have a couple question.I prefer a non zXX chipset board to stay cheap.

 

How has your experience overclocking the G3258 been?

What mobo have you used, and how did it serve in the overclocking? (What was your clockspeed and how was the BIOS?) 

 

 

System: Thinkpad T460

Will all depend on the chip.

 

Do you live near a microcenter? If so you can get a g3258 + a z97 board for $100. http://www.microcenter.com/site/brands/G3258Bundle.aspx

 

I'll be building one for my sister soon.

 

Sorry for not quite answering your question, wanted to make you aware if this if you weren't already.

4.5ghz at 1.3 volts was unstable for me a really took a framerate hit, couldn't go up to 4.6ghz without a bluescreen.

sitting at 4.2ghz at 1.2volts compeltely stable.

Z97m plus from asus.

For some reason I can't seem to get mine to overclock. With that being said, I have undervolted the crap out of it (I had it at .88v, but bumped it up to .9v to make sure it would be stale for hours of gaming, keep in mind stock on these is 1.2 and a little more).

 

But please, don't completely throw away the idea of the processor because I can't overclock mine. It's probably an error on my part.

 

My motherboard is the Gigabyte Z97X-Gaming 5, BTW.

 

EDIT: I might be able to take the voltage even lower. And maybe my OC would apply if I used the legacy style BIOS and not the UEFI BIOS.

It really depends on the chip, i have been unlucky twice now.
on a bad chip you can reach around 4,2ghz on 1,3v if you get a good chip you can hit 4,8ghz og 1,3v
that is at least my personal experience.

4.1ghz / 1.3v stinker

i see you have experienced the bad chipness as well :)

but remember that it is still a 900mhz+ OC if you get 900mhz+ OC on a 4790k you will be happy, right?

i use a msi Z97-G43 only because it is z97 and it has two freaking heatsinks on the power delivery ;)
not that they are getting hot at all but the more the better :D

I just got my H55 (needed water cooler because it's in a CM 130) so I haven't done much testing but I have it at 4.4 with 1.265v on an MSI H81I. It seems stable but I've only done a few hours of P95.

G3258 @ 4.5 | 8GB Team Vulcan RAM | 128GB Kingston V300 SSD (I didn't know what I was doing when I bought it) | MSI H81I Motherboard | Corsair H55 with Noctua NF-P12 | EVGA SSC GTX 960 4GB | OCZ 550W Fully Modular PSU with Noctua NF-A14 | Cooler Master Elite 130 (Soon to be something cool)

4.7 @ 1.33v for daily use on an ASUS Z97-i Plus. Currently moved over to another rig sitting at 4.5/1.275v w/Z97-a  (75C max) on the stock cooler until Amazon decides to deliver the 212 evo, then it's goin right back up to sub 70C at the 4.7 clock...may ship out the system at 4.8 depending on if it's stable at ~1.35v.

 

It's been a great overclocker, but the performance for gaming and coupled with a far too powerful GPU (280x) means you're limited to games like DOTA 2, LoL, etc. Although, it can handle Gaming Evolved twitch streaming with said games pretty damn well considering it's only a dual core, I'm giving the build away to someone who will use it for exactly that and took the time to bench/test in all the software/games he's going to use. Just don't expect to be playing AAA titles locked at 60fps w/out some stuttering/bottlenecking.

LanSyndicate Build | i5-6600k | ASRock OC Formula | G.Skill 3600MHz | Samsung 850 Evo | MSI R9-290X 8GB Alphacool Block | Enthoo Pro M | XTR Pro 750w | Custom Loop |

4.6 @ 1.35v :( look like @runit3 got the better chip haha. 

 

I'm also running with a 280x and I was surprised at how well it handled most games.

I got mine stable 4.5Ghz@1.32V on Asrock Z97 Extreme3 with 120mm AIO liquid cooler.

It may go higher but i don't feel comfortable with the voltage so i kept it at 4.5
