g3258 doesn't pass 4.2gHz

[ghikft]

I bought a pentium g3258 after I saw linus' video and for some reason I can't get it passed 4.2gHz and the voltage for it to be stable is 1.385 wich is more than the voltage they got for 4.7gHz. I also want to point out that my cooler is a nzxt kraken x61 so its better then the h100i used in the video and at 4.2gHz heat is not a problem i get abaout 60 celsius on a stress test so heat is not a problem but at highter clock speed it just crash before I am even in the OS. I am also using an asus hero VII for the motherboard.
 

I need some help.

[ERSCreeper]

What motherboard are you using?

I Guess you didn't won the silicon lottery

also what motherboard are you using?

must just be a crappy chip

 

moar volts

[Manny Calavera]

bummer

 

get rid of it man and then get i5 or i7 if this is your main rig

Probably cheaper to buy three more of these to find a golden chip.

lost the cpu lottery i guess. However that is still a pretty good oc.

I guess that hole thighter overclock thing with the devil canyon is pure marketing and completely false.

Yes, because one chip doesn't overclock to the ceiling the whole line is junk.  

That's solid logic.

No, it is actually true. The thermal compound between the chip and the heat spreader on the CPU has been upgraded. I guess you just got a bad chip. Don't be discouraged, my 4670K isn't that good of a chip.

cheaper? maybe, idk. Better? Nope Its still just a pentium

It is not, people nowadays expects to buy a CPU and overclock it to 4.8ghz, and that's not they way it works.

overclocking is increasing the multiplier beyond product specification, beyond what the manufacturer made that chip for. That's why they don't come at 4.5ghz out of the box, because not all chips can do it.

Marketing motherboards for OC and CPUs for OC makes people think that if they pay those products they will get whatever clocks they expect.

The whole point in Devil's Canyon is that the CPUs had been reviewed, having better temps and stability, which also benefits the people that overclocks. It doesn't mean you are buying a 4.8ghz processor for under $80

5ghz on air

 

Nah, but steppings do help with clocks.

Yeah, I know.

Most of the Pentiums out there are rocking really nice clocks, but it's not right to blame the company and call it a false marketing even if the rules where already explicit.
