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.
