I don't know anything about overclocking, but I am wondering if Intel's new Pentium G4560 can be overclocked in any way, and if so, how much the performance increase would be. I'm thinking about buying a g4560, and I don't really care if it can't be overclocked. Also, what GPU do you think would be good paired with a g4560?

No, they are not designed to be overclocked.

Do you know what GPU would be a good pair for the g4560?

So asrock had a lot of non-k overclock bios boards, then intel did their lockout with cpu microcode in the updated bios. Then asrock released a few boards with external clock generator. Yet there seems to be nothing out there about the function of these boards.

And now there are a few 200 series boards with external clock generators. I remain hopeful, but am willing to settle for stock clocks on this little beast chip that finally is on amazon here in the US for MSRP $64

With the right BIOS version installed this is still possible on Sky Lake Z170 motherboards and non-k Skylake processors, but It's not possible with Kaby Lake at all. 0%.

I'm pairing mine with a GTX 1060 3G Superclocked from eVGA. Most benchmarks show the G4560 doesnt bottleneck it much at 1440p.

From everything I have seen online the RX 470 seems to be the best bet. The G4560 tends to bottle neck the RX 480 on a great deal of titles and the GTX 1050TI hardly ever comes anywhere close to hitting the G4560 performance cap. The RX 470 tends to hover right around the top without being held back alot by the processor.

Something like an RX470 would be good

I actually achieved to overlock the CPU to perform like the much more expensive G4600. All i did was using the the OC Tuner II option from my ASUS Z170-P Board. It now runs @3.6 GHz (102.5 MHz FSB), 0.95V and memory at DDR4-2131 and even outperforms the Intel Core i5-3570K

First gen core I series had FSB overclocking, i3 530 2.9 GHz running on a 200 FSB for 4.4 GHz. Since 2nd gen Sandy bridge locked the base clock down give or take 3 to 5 MHz before system instability. But 100 MHz overclock isn't worth bothering with. If these had the 'backdoor' that 6th gen skylake had briefly but not have the temperature reporting error and able to run at 120MHZ Base Clock for a 4.2 GHz G4560, now that would be interesting. Ah heck, Intel just give us a new g3258 from this new g4560 ala g4568 and allow the cheaper boards also to adjust it's multiplier. This is the I3-K we actually want, not the 7350K that is priced like a true quad core.

On a Z series motherboard you can get about 200-400mhz overclock depending on the manufacturer of the board. Buy the Pentium G4560, it's a i3 with 1mb less cache for half the price. Benchmarks show it's on par in most games with a i5-7400 for a third of the price.

http://www.techspot.com/review/1325-intel-pentium-g4560/ everything I see says it is a I3-6100 with 200 less MHz, and lacking AVX instructions and has a 610 IGP vs I3-6100 530 IGP equal 3MB cache. An I5 will unlock more potential in upper midrange cards and required to get the most out of a 1080 GTX over this G4560. Where are your claims coming from? Where do they overclock a G4560 more than 3 base clock as in this thread? 103*35 3.6GHz over stock 3.5GHz?

Try the Zotac GTX 1050 4gb editio; runs all AAA games at high setting at >50 FPS

Interesting, have you done any analyses to back-up why you don't believe Digital Foundry's tests?

They didnt explain it or proved it well enough, they just put it out there and moved forward, while no other (more respected in my opinions) tech youtubers didnt mention thing like that (with exception being gtaV which somehow works better on faster ram, but thats it) Since when is ddr4 speed replacement for displacement? In 99% of games faster ram didnt add anything in tests all those tech youtubers did, in general.

Feel free to read here why games can be faster with faster memory (especially CPU intensive games) here:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Amd/comments/5zr8lv/i_asked_amd_a_followup_question_about_infinity/

Although this is based on AMD RYZEN's architecture, Intel's way isn't too different most likely.

And not ''Only GTA V somehow'', but also other CPU intensive open world games like Far Cry Primal, The Division, The Witcher 3, Fallout 4 and Battlefield 1 aswell.

That being said, Digital Foundry is very reputable. Their tests are better than most other tech reviewers IMO.

Probably an EVGA GTX 1050 Ti might be a good choice. Solid GPU that isnt too pricey. But if you are going for budget build the 2gb EVGA gtx 1050 is also good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dlZoWUW_2yw
Austin Evans here combined the G4560 with an EVGA GTX 1050 and the games seem to run smooth on high settings.

you can overclock the Pentiums you have to downgrade your motherboards bios to do so
