Hey guys, so after some videos watched i decided to go for manual overclocking because some people said that oc genie isnt that a good choice. I decided to go with 4.3 ghz with 1.245 voltage and i ran a prime95 stress test. After 2 hours my prime95 program crashed, like it stopped working, and i restarted the program again (i did it like 3 times) till i was upset with it, went on a research and i found out that the majority of people said that the system was unstable and thats why prime95 was crashing. After that research i went to the bios and increase a small amount of vcore-->0.025v and the final voltage was 1.270v. I left my computer running a stress test and when i arrived home and i checked the computer and the workers stopped about 30 min before i arrived home. No sign of errors or warning but like they stopped in the middle of a self test, so i decided to stop the test and it was running for about 23 hours and 6 mins and it said that 0 errors and 0 warnings were found. I guess, from what i´ve searched, i have a stable system!

Temps: 70-80 ºc all time with stock cooler ( im almost buying a nice cooler)

Pentium g3258 4.3 Ghz (Stock cooler)
Gtx 750 2gb

Well, i must say my system is stable. For a stock cooler is pretty good but the temps are so high so im going for a nice cooler.

up until here, I have never even heard of a stable overclock that high on a stock cooler. until you get that new cooler, if it is running at 70 degrees, I wouldn't use the pc for any more than just light web browsing, and even that might be a little risky depending on what you do. So what kind of cooler are you thinking about getting?

70-80 ºC only while stress test. While playing cs go it was like between 40-60 ºC.

Between 40-60 ºC while running cs go but stress testing with 80 ºC isnt good thats why im getting a cooler. And for a little more overclock like +0.2ghz ofc :D

I have a Hyper 212 X. Best cooler I have ever owned, but the fans were a little loud on the thing. I replaced them with some thermaltake fans that we had to remove from a computer we were building from a client (we installed a cooler master in his unit as well). A match made in heaven I tell ya.

oh. I'm sorry. I didn't catch you on that. So I must say that is awesome! I once tried to overclock my AMD FX 8350 when I just bought it with the stock cooler from 4.0 to 4.2. When I tried to stress test it for 20 minutes the thing smelled like it was burning.
