G3258 OC

change CPU voltage to 1.45v in UEFI (no multiplier change).

boot to OS. run load app and monitor temps with same 4.5GHz and note temps (assuming the RAM speeds are default 1333/1600).

if under 80°, reboot with a new 4.6GHz and reload, note temps. once in the 85° under load, you pretty much have gone as far as the silicon will let you.

I actually tried that, but it doesn't post any beyond 1.4 V

[airdeano]

won't POST past 1.4v? even with a stock multiplier? then you have either exceeded the VRM or UEFI capabilities.

UEFI/BIOS version should be 1.D (latest) or minimum 1.7 for stability add-ins.

 

there are multiple over-volt protections and VCCIN that maybe hampering, but if you bypass these there may come some protections that are not reversible.

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).

best advice:

apply hammer to CPU

 

go buy a real CPU.

 

G3258 is shit no matter how much you OC it. The end. Discussion is pointless because you were wrong in the first place.

Yeah, cause every person has $200 to spend on a i5 every day...
