Hey Guys, can you guys explain to me how to overclock? What recommended clock speed can I go with a stock cooler? Is my H97 mobo able to oc?

Depends what brand the board is. Usually you need a Z97 or a Z87 board to overclock it better. There's some ASUS H97 board that support overclocking but they won't be heavy overclockings, thus won't benefit the G3258 most as most people overclock the shit outta the thing.

Linus made three overclocking guides for Haswell, one for the "regular" Haswell, one for Devil's Canyon, and the other for Haswell-E

It depends on the specific board you are running. Some manufacturers enabled multiplier adjustment against Intels intention, so its kind of an unofficial feature.

With a stock cooler anything between 4 and 4.4 GHz depending on your specific chip with stock voltage should work fine.

 

Linus oc'd a Pentium K in their latest build guide:

helped building up the CPU Overclocking Database and GPU Overclocking Database, check them out ;)

Yea, I don't know, I just couldn't get it very well...

 

Make sure that you have the latest bios for your mobo and also google for "Overclocking G3258 on [mobo name]"

There are plenty of boards that support G3258 overclocking, many of which are on the low-end H81 platform and can hit anywhere from 4.2 to 4.6 on 1.3V if not stock voltage.

Desktop: Intel Core i5 2380P (2400 w/o iGPU), MSI H61, 8GB RAM, 256GB SP610, 500GB WD Blue, HIS R9 280, Antec TruePower Classic 550W, Inwin MANA 134, QNIX QX2710, CM QuickFire Rapid, Logitech G402

 

Laptop: Toshiba Satellite L40D, AMD A6-6310, 6GB RAM, 500GB HDD, Radeon R4 Graphics, 14" 1366x768

 

 

Phone: iPhone 6 Space Gray 64GB, T-Mobile $60/mo 3GB plan

The G3258 can really only do 4.7Ghz most cases, you hit the voltage limit pass that 99% of the time. Since the G3258 is only 65w to start with; a board with a meh VRM can OC it to 4.4Ghz. Your board looks likes it's fine, you'll just have to have the latest BIOS if you want to OC the G3258. I'm guessing your get around4.2- 4.5Ghz depending on your cooling.

If your vrm cooling is lacking, or you feel it is uncomfortably warm/hot, maybe consider a fan for the mobo?
