Small issues with overclocking pentium g3258

Go to solution Solved by Hman1250,

That's the reason why, the fan is the component in the CPU cooler to keep it cool at stock and overclocking. IMO, try to return the cooler and get something smaller like a Hyper 212 from cooler master, your RAM can fit and is an inexpensive cooler and get around the same clock speed. My friend has a 4770k and uses a hyper 212 evo and runs at at 4.2GHz around mid 50's under load.

As well what motherboard are you using to OC your CPU

So about a week ago ive received my new parts for my new pc build... After Building i immediately jumped into updating drivers and software utility's for overclocking... later after overclocking Ive seen weird things occurring... such as trying to overclock the pentium at 4ghz at stock voltage which ive read many times people having easy success at overclocking their chip by just moving the core ratio to 40 but for me i cant. Everytime i reboot windows just doesn't  boot. But i have successfully overclocked this chip to 4.4 ghz at 1.365 volts on the vcore but temperatures were in the high 70's so i just went back to stock... I'd just really like to know what i could do to fix this issue or someone with experience in overclocking telling me if im doing something wrong.

 

Cheers and thanks, Sir_Seagle

 

P.s Running a deepcool lucifer v2 cpu cooler without the fan on it due to clearance issues with my ram sticks

Maybe you have a shitty OCer. My G3258 does 4.6GHz with only 1.26v day in and day out.

Im using a Gigabyte z97mx gaming 5 motherboard, and also my cpu cooler doesn't actually take that much space its just the fan that a 140mm that dosent fit in my case :/ but i will be ordering a 120mm pwm fan since the fan mounting supports 120mm fans
