Link me to the best h81

lmao a b85 chipset overclocks better than a Z97. oh my life

Link me to a b85 motherboard

Yes, you can overclock a G3258 on an H81 board if the board's BIOS supports overclocking.

 

You do not need a Z97 board to overclock a G3258. I've overclocked Anniversary Pentiums on H81M, B85 and Z97 boards with no issues whatsoever. The microcode thing that screws up Windows is no longer an issue.

Well how about the one I picked can I overclock on that

its compatible, but it isn't overclockable. the G3258 is mainly for overclocking i think, so if not, just go for G3250. 

I don't understand how in this video are they using a h81 to overclock their pentium g3258

I thought the h81 series were made for the pentium g3258

All over YouTube people are using h81 motherboards to overclock there pentium g3258s

no, it has to be Z97 chipset to overclock. the H81 chipset isn't for overclocking, it is the lowest end Haswell chipset

I thought the h81 series were made for the pentium g3258

Can I overclock a pentium g3258 on this motherboard? https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ESETQOK/ref=ox_sc_act_title_6?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER

If I want to overclock a pentium 4 g3258 to 4.7 ghz what cooler and motherboard should I use ?

Fallout 4 will not be a problem especially if you can use high speed ram (dunno about the rest of your config), that game was optimized just as much for both dual cores as it was for multiple cores. Games like GTA5, Witcher 3, Assassin's Creed Syndicate that take advantage of 4 threads though, it wont be that good of an experience. That said, go for the 1050, while in some games it will bottleneck, in many it wont and it will improve performance, bottlenecking just means that your GPU wont be to be used to its full potential due to CPU limitations, but that's it.

Alright thx mate I'm gonna go for the 1050 and upgrade my CPU to an i3 and mobo in the future

No matter how far you OC your cpu you can never get rid of the fact that it has only two cores and no HT. 

 

Obviously yes it will reduce the bottleneck, and you can do that if you were to go the route I had suggested

What CPU do you recommend to greatly reduce this bottleneck ? Also are you basing your information on experience or just the specs

No, not nearly as much. Don't let the issue of bottleneck limit what you want for hardware though. A 750 ti will only lead to you getting another upgrade to your GPU faster.

 

You can always buy the 1050 now and upgrade your CPU later. I think this is a better option, but that is just my opinion. 

If I overclock my CPU a little more would it reduce the bottleneck?

2 minutes ago, Wolther said:

Yeah, your CPU will bottleneck the 1050. Especially in GTA 5

Will it bottleneck if I use a 750 ti sc instead ?

If I use a 750 ti sc

In what game.? 

Sometimes CPUs bottleneck gpus in one game, but the gpu may bottleneck the cpu in another. 

Fallout 4 and gta 5

Will a Zotac Gtx 1050 mini bottleneck a overclocked pentium 4 g3258 clocked at 4.2 ghz ? If so will it be crippling

any budget case on a site like newegg, though there'll be some ugly ones, most like decent.

Like 35 to 40 dollars 

What micro atx cases do you recommend that is relatively cheap and looks good ?

Alright thx it really helped

Will the Zotac Gtx 1050 mini bottleneck a over clocked pentium 4 g3258 clocked at 4.2 ghz ?

I'm pretty sure it wouldnt bottleneck a 1050

If you haven't figured it out yet I'm new to pc building would a overclock on a low end CPU help to match up with a higher end gpu

2 minutes ago, RKRiley said:

You could probably overclock with the BCLK but i wouldn't recommend it, and you wouldn't get much of a gain from it, probably get to 3.4-3.5 and thats about it.

If I were to just stick with my build with the 1050 mini instead of the 750 ti sc would it bottleneck the CPU in my original build the pentium g3258

$25 more than yours, but it puts you on skylake platform, gives you a better psu, 1tb rather than 500gb hdd, and room to upgrade to an i3 6100, i5 or i7 if you ever come to it.

Can I over clock that pentium?

Alright if I were to stick with the pentium g3258 would a Zotac 1050 mini bottleneck it ?

Which i3 would you recommend?

This is my pc build I was wondering if everything was compatible and nothing would bottleneck, also any recommendations to fix possible bottlenecking also if I were to use a Zotac 1050 mini instead would it bottleneck
