Safe Overclock For G3258

[Whoopsie988]

So I've got a G3258 with the stock cooler. I've watched numerous videos regarding this chip and I was wondering what would be the safest clock for this chip with the stock cooler? I've seen a video where they overclocked it to 4.6GHz and then there was another one where they said that 4GHz would be the safest limit. I was just wondering as I do want to get as much performance out of it as my PC is budget oriented.

As long as you keep your temps in check (Personally I set myself at a max of 80C) and voltage (1.3v max for 24/7 overclock personally) you will be fine.

I run at 4.7 Ghz and at 78 to 82 degrees under full load. i assume thats ok?

if you plan to use it for a while, keep the voltage under 1.35V and load temps under 80°C for continual use

Thanks, I'll try it out

Yeah, I plan to keep the clock permanent so I'll keep that in mind

I ran mine at 4.4GHz, 1.36v. Temps peaked during stress tests between 75-78C, and I had a huge voltage wall between me and 4.5GHz (wouldn't stand up to more than a few minutes of stress testing at my max comfortable voltage of 1.4v). Basically, keep your stress peaks under 85C and your voltage somewhere in the 1.3v-1.4v range (lower is better for a 24/7 daily driver) and you're fine.
