I have 2 intake fans and 1 outtake fan what would be my max overclock on the g3258 with the stock intel cooler. This was my first build and I'm only 14 years old so I only know some stuff about computers.

some people got 4.5 GHz on stock cooler, i don't know the voltage though. it's only a dual core so temps should be lower than quad core counter-part

[Apollo Refugio]

Just try 4.2 GHz on stock voltage and see how far that will get you.

for a dual core processor you should be fine with the stock Intel cooler not much point getting anything better for a pentium in my opinion.

try overclocking in increments don't just go straight to the max that you've seen someone achieve not every CPU is completely identical.

What would be a safe temperature for full load

as long as it doesn't go above 80C under max load you should be fine aim for low to mid 70s if you need to overclock that far

Case fans have little effect on OC. Their main duty is to keep case overall cool during longer operation periods.

While you are working on the overclock you need to pay very close attention to the temps. Even after you settle on an overclock you are happy with keep an eye on them for a while and make sure that they don't suddenly rise out of nowhere.

I was able to comfortably overclock to 4.2GHz on my old G3258 using the stock cooler, with a voltage of right around 1.3V. Getting up to 4.4/4.5 (depending on the day) too between 1.365 and 1.375V, and required a dinky little SilenX Effizio EFZ-92HA3 tower to keep the CPU in the mid-70's.
