[SOLVED] Intel Pentium G3258 Overclocking?

[o7Wade]

Will my Pentium G3258 be able to overclock to around 4.3GHz on a H81M-P33 motherboard or will i have to upgrade to a z97 or something?

you won't know till you start the process. baseline your voltage on manual settings, and then start adding clock speed and voltage. with good fortune from the silicone gods you'll get over 4.0 with voltage under 1.2 volts or better under 1.1 volts.

With a decent cooler very possible.

the copper core cooler that's stock will work fine. it's got the copper core and is the same cooler they ship with 4790k

Get at least a Hyper Evo 212 and you can easily overclock.

Better than the 212 and easier to install.

Thanks Blackbird, I did not know about this cooler prior, I will make sure to recommend it in budget/low end builds.
