G3258 OC

[OsuMasterz]

Alright, so my brother's pentium is currently at 4.5 GHZ at 60°C. We are trying to reach 4.7GHZ or maybe higher but the system won't boot past 4.6GHZ and windows keep giving us errors every time we try to boot. Can someone give me recommenced settings to put into the BIOS? I can't find some settings that work online atm.

Im using a MSI Gaming Z97 Gaming 5 motherboard

This maybe the bottle neck: a CX600 power supply.

My cooler is a Cryorig H7 (212 Evo about).

Maybe CPU just can't handle higher OC?

Base clock is 3,2GHz, so you already went 1,3GHz higher on it

tbh, I think windows 8.1 is being a bitch because on windows it is showing 6.26 GHZ

Lower RAM clocks, disable all power saving states, protections. Try higher voltage.

im at 1.392 V

If you're already that high might as well try 1.40V just to see, if it doesn't work then back off and consider yourself lucky you made it that far.

It crashes at 1.4V RIP me

Well, that is kinda high already. Hmmm. Lower CPU Ring clocks (cache clocks).

I think at this point, I lost the silicon lottery.

It is possible. You may still be able to get it a big higher though. Have you tried bump up BCLK a bit?

what's that?

No, I left it at stock

Try to bump it by a 0.5 and see if you can boot. At 45 multiplier tippy should get around 4725MHz.

Oh, you can't reach 4.7GHz. Go with 44 multiplier then when bumping bclk by 0.5 should be 4620MHz.

When I did it with a .5, the system didn't post, but ill try those settings now.

[airdeano]

on a h105, i went 5.2GHz 1.51v (M7Hero) with 80° (1300rpm hyperborea fans) on p95 custom test (min=1344 in-place) for 30min.

overclock (331) only raised cb score 90pts above stock (240). so other than GHz braggin' there isn't much there to make it 'perform' better.

Yea. It may not post as you are increasing clock of everyhing not just CPU so stability may go to hell.

 

BTW my math was really bad... 0.5 increase

100.5x45 = 4522MHz

100.5x44 = 4422MHz

 

So you need 46 multiplier and maybe just 0.3 increase on bclk.

When I change the BCLK at all, the system doesn't post...

Unlucky. My system does the same. It was worth a shot though.

[airdeano]

bclk also increases the PCIe bus (GPU is now overclocked-prolly why no POST/boot) and RAM DIMM speeds.

Thanks for the help doe, time to buy another and try to win the lottery!

Just pump it with dem volts. Try 2.8V   Just hide in some bunker and turn the PC from its safety.

Too low, ill try 420.69 volts and I can OC it to 1337 GHZ
