I'm at a loss for the name. Can you still overclock the G3258? I thought Intel pulled that BS and blocked it?

LoL, I'm just kidding. I couldn't resist the setup.

no you can overlcock it. i think you're thinking of the skylake non-K skew overclocking. that was removed. this is just a badly named processor, its unlocked.

i thought they only blocked ocing on the non z boards

If you want to sell it "Extreme Gaming PC" will do the job, the "Extreme" allows you to put €50 more (I'm following ebay logic)

ah you would be correct. That's what I was thinking of. 

 

I just bought a G4400 and a Gigabyte h110 board and I am hoping I can get some sick overclocks by flashing the bios lol

iirc they made the OC weird, u can OC one core but not both at the same time, though that might've been fixed

no you could never overclock with non z boards. even when this exploit was around.

There seems to be a major problem with the G3258 20th Anniversary Edition and Windows 10. In later Technical Preview builds, INCLUDING 10240 which is the RTM version, overclocking is only permitted on ONE CORE.

 

Specifically you can run:

 

1) BOTH cores at 3.2GHz 'stock' speed- this is my current 'workaround'.

2) Any attempt to overclock- however minimally (say 100MHz) on BOTH CORES results in a 'death loop' ("Preparing Automatic Repair" ad nauseam).

3) It is possible to overclock BUT ONLY ON ONE CORE.

I got this 960 long before the 300 series was even a thing. i'm trying to get rid of it. plus the thermals in this thing aren't great as it is.
