Mild Over Clock

[Nohemi]

Would you call cranking the G3258 Pentuim to 4.0ghz a mind over clock. How long do you think it will last in terms of years?

It depends on the cooling system you have set up.

Yes, I would call that a mild overclock. As mentioned above, it depends on the cooling solution and moreover, temperature and voltage.

Just a hyper 212 evo, a case fan on the the back of the case, and a fan in the front. It pulls cool air in front of the case and out the back

How long do you think the cpu will last in terms of years?

If voltage and temperatures are within safe and reasonable parameters, at least 3 years.(Under normal usage)

okay so like 60 degrees Celsius is reasonable

That's reasonable, yes.

[Nohemi]

okay

[soaringchicken]

you should be fine.

[FaZe Booce]

You can easily hit 4.0GHz or maybe higher with stock cooling. overclocks like a champ

if you can afford it, go for an AIO liquid cooler, so you can get the most out of it.

the thing is Im looking to upgrade in the future, so I probably move on to liquid cooling once i upgrade to an core i5 cpu
