Gigabyte H81M-S2H + G3258 overclock

[tonic11]

Hello all,

I am planning to build a budget gaming rig with pentium g3258. I found this mobo, but not sure if it support overclocking as wasn't able to find any reviews. Other model H81-H supports indeed, but just want to make sure I chose this mobo especially because it doesn't need any bios update prior to installation of that particular cpu, just want to avoid any hassle. thanks a lot !

so did you manage to overclock it with the Gigabyte H81M-S2H ?

Nope, it was out of stock so I went for B85M-DS3H from Gigabyte, just we euros more but with 2 more DDR slots. Managed to get 3.9 Ghz only, but doesn't matter.
