OC'ing The Intel Pentium Anniversary Edition G3258

[Manage My Cables]

Hello,

 

So some time this week I plan to OC my pentium G3258, I have to wait until pay day to get another Corsair H100i AIO so if anybody could share their G3258 OC'ing story's and any advice it would be greatly appreciated . And how far you can push it on the stock cooler. 

 

Thanks

considering the G3258 only has two cores, it can get quite far with a decent air cooler like the evo 212, with an aggressive fan curve on the stock cooler, you can probably get to a decent overclock to around 4~4.5 GHz.

here it is with a stock cooler, to answer OP...

-edit- it was at 4.2GHz, not sure on the volts

I ran mine at 4.6 with an 212 EVO.  Temperature was never an issue, I just didn't want to push it past 1.35 volts.

Other than as a fun side project, why spend more on the cooler than the CPU cost?

i think saving up that cash buying the Corsair H100i AIO use it for CPU Upgrade as a G3258 User i have a worst g3258 but i got my G3258 @ 4.7GHz with 1.450V 24 Hours Stable and my Temp while gaming is bellow 75C and i am only currently using the Cooler Master Hyper 212x for $30.

The G3258 is a great OC'er...but its still a duel core. A great CPU to push hard and learn OC basics. 
But thats really all its good for.

@Manage My Cables if you have a decent MoBo and Cooling for me i did a YOLO overclocking cause frankly i have the cash to replace my G3258 anytime i want, and what i did was find the highest overclock i could get and not going over 1.450V and for some reason my G3258 need a 1.500V and + to get to 4.8GHz and temp go over 80C that is not good for any CPU.
