So yesterday I overclocked for the very first time and got my g3258 to 4.3ghz at 1.255V (nothing crazy I know). I ran prime 95 for 8hours and not a single problem. It idles @30c and under full load it got to 62c. So my question is should I push it further? I tried 4.4 on the same voltage but I got a bluescreen, so I pumped up the voltage to 1.265 and the result. Many say that 1.3V is the "sweet spot" so should I just try out 1.3 and try to get it to 4.6-4.8? Btw my cooler is the 212 evo and my case the Enthoo Pro.

 

Also I recycled two fans from my old 200r and placed them into the top of my Enthoo Pro as intakes, problem is only one spins unless its given a poke or whatever, furthermore HWMonitor doesn't read all the four case fans and for the three it does read it says they are at 0rpm even though they are indeed spinning.(http://gyazo.com/d42681e6b6da64dac1f8f405e146d2f7 I presume the one whose rpm it reads is the cpu fan).

 

Any advice on overclocking or solutions to my fan problem?

I have the same cooler with my g3258, I put mine at 4.5 at 1.3v and that's about my limit. It only gets real hot when I fold overnight, all the way up upper 70's, so I wouldn't push it much more than that but there will be a difference in ambient temp.
