hello guys, I was interested in some heavy overclocking and I saw cheap prices on this g3258 and I would like to buy this for some ln2 overclocking is it worth it?

secondly I need a motherboard for the chip would like to get a good overclocking without spending for a premium board any advice?

yeah its a pretty awesome OCing chip

you do need a board with great power delivery though for LN2 so you will need to buy a pretty premium board

one question It says it doesn't have holes for mounting fans so the pot is just going to make contact with its own weight?

oh

is there a version that comes with holes?

 

it shows pics of CPU coolers mounted so i think you may have to drill your own holes

if there are special spots for it yeah

which it looks like

maybe look at some reviews of the board first to find out how people are mounting their coolers to it
