Intel Pentium G3258 highest overclock on stock cooler?

[Bannan]

Hi. Im wondering what's the highest overclock the Intel Pentium G3258 can handle with stock cooler with safe temps? Mine is overclocked from 3.2GHz (Stock) to 4GHz and im having 30-35C idle and 45-50C Load (In games). Did a stress test for my cpu and it came up to 70C runing the test for 10min. My cpu is also is using Noctua NT-H1 thermalpaste...

A definitive answer is not possible as every chip is different. I have seen a few golden chips that could do 4.5-4.6Ghz on the stock cooler and under 1.15V however 4.1-4.3Ghz is probably more typical.

I have two G3258s. One gets to 4.2 Ghz, it is below average, one gets to 4.5 Ghz, it is about average. An above average chip should reach 4.7 and 4.8Ghz is not out of the question, especially now when the chip is very mature, all on the stock cooler.
