Can you overclock the Pentium G3258 to 4.5ghz on a stock cooler?

Go to solution Solved by FuzzyYellow,

don't listen to them I own a G3258, and it ran it at 4.4Ghz @1.25v on the stock cooler with max load temps around 80C. the G3258 is only a dual core, so it doesn't pt out nearly as much heat as the i5s and i7s do.

Just curious if you can overclock it with a stock cooler

Stock cooler is NOT recommended for Overclocking.

Anything past 3.2 got a blue screen of death. 3.2 works fine and I did stress testing.

I second this. Basically the same, but my voltage is at 1.225

It kind of sounds like a jet engine, but it also makes a shitload of noise when you're not even overclocking (temps at about 55 degrees)

of course it does. it's half the price. you can't expect an overclocked i5 to beat an i7, but you expect the overclocked pentium to beat an i3. it's the exact same situation, only, the pentium gets awful close, but the i5 is still way slower than the i7.

The G3258 is a great budget CPU. Personally in games mine runs circles around most i3s and non k i5s no problem. Oh and idk why but min never gets hotter then like 65 or 70.

Imagine if the pentium supported hyper threading O.o it would be amazing
