Will the Pentium G3258 Work With this Motherboard

[Appleboy45]

I am mostly asking what generation this thing is as this motherboard only supports 4th generation Intel processors, but does anyone know if the G3258 will work on this motherboard? I am not planning to do any overclocking (Yes I know that's what the G3258 is mostly commonly used for). Also, does the problem with the G3258 still around where it will have problems with Windows 10. I will be installing Windows 10 Home and if the problem still exist, let me know how to fix it.

it will work most likely. if it was on a store shelf for a long time, it might need a bios update in order to work.

Works with motherboard, should be fine with Win10.

yes they are the same socket.

[9justinas9]

yes unless your MB is DOA

It's possible it might need a BIOS update first. Not very likely considering the G3258 came out almost a year and a half ago, but still possible. Also, you're crazy not to bump up the clockspeed a bit. It's a low power CPU while the heatsink they give you is for an i5 or i7, so you have lots of headroom to go up to around 4.0 GHz or so a lot of the time before you'll start having to pump lots of voltage into it. I don't think I had to increase voltage until 4.0 GHz or so on mine.

While I agree with you generally, the chipset on this board probably wont even support much of a frequency increase let alone a voltage increase.  Also, I wouldn't generally OC on a $60 mobo.  But it won't hurt to try just a bit I guess

My G3258 was fine at 4.4 GHz, 1.18V on a $50 Gigabyte H81 board.
