you should start by checking the model number of your processor, seriously...

this we cant say, because overclocking is not a given, it's all in the silicon lotery

well.. preferably something Z chipset, as for actual mobo that comes down to budget, preferences, and local availability.

talking from experience .. not all G3258 can go past 4ghz ... so you can never be fully sure to what clockspeed you will be able to reach... i could barely get to 4ghz  

also i think it was just Pentium G3258 (without the 4)

 

the Cooler Master Hyper212 Evo should do just fine since its a tiny 2core cpu 

for motherboard any Z97 chipset motherboard should be able to overclock, it mainly depends on the colorscheme, budget and what features you want

that 4 hasnt existed since 2006

 

(and you can easily get a 2006 P4 to 4.7GHz, they will just also melt the computer, and everything else in the room)

yeah, get a z97 board, if you live near a microcenter I would recommend going there, they normally have reasonable deals. Also (maybe I got lucky?) I was able to get to 4.3 with the stock cooler...I wouldn't advise it because temps were super high but it was stable (around ~90C under high inter burn) but it sits happy at 4 ghz with the stock cooler never going over 78C

I must do that now. I want to achieve my goal of my room being at least 5 Celsius hotter than the rest of the house.

i should take out my army of P4's again

 

i have a p4 in an overclocking mobo that's taped into a case that's too small with a power supply that's only been on fire once. good times great taste with mcdonalds

i have a P4 that ran at around 100C at idle .... 3.0ghz  .... then again .. it had the stock cooler on (one with a half dead fan that is)

last time i checked ... it worked fine ... just a bit warm
