So i got a g3258 because i heard it overclockes like a beast and i got mine today and when i tried to oc it i only got to 4.2Ghz at 1.360v any less voltage the clock is unstable. If i go higher than 4.2Ghz i cant get the pc to load the pc just turns on and does nothing. So is this a bad chip or am i doing something wrong.

Thanks

Sounds like a bad chip.

 

You using manual voltage?

Most probably. Did you go by increments? I had situations where overvolting would make the system unstable. Ram speed could help with oc stability but it's only if you're running 1333 or below.

Sounds like you lost the silicon lottery.  There's no guarantee that your chip will get 4.5Ghz+.

Get it to 1600 or even 1800 if you can. It might help. I'm running my stock 1333 oced to 1800 and I was able to get 4.4Ghz out my x5675(3ghz stock) on air
