Adjusting the speed of the Intel PentiumG3258 using Gigabyte B85M-DS3H caused a system crash on Windows 8.1 Pro.
I understand this question has been discussed before, but I'm still searching for a definitive solution to my issue – sorry about that.
I'm just starting out with overclocking and have been attempting it for some time. My friend was able to reach an OC of 4.1ghz at a 1.18 vcore and it ran stably for a while. But soon I encountered the BSOD, which became more frequent. Additionally, my BIOS settings reset and my profiles disappeared. Now I'm trying to overclock on my own, and I finally reached a stage where I can boot past the Windows logo and log in, but after about five minutes I still get the BSOD. Could you please help me? I'm not sure if I'm making any mistakes.
Below are my current settings:
Under frequency settings
CPU Clock Ratio: 41
K OC: Enabled
CPU PLL Selection: SBPLL
Uncore Ratio: 36
Under voltage settings
CPU VRIN Voltage: 1.800V
CPU Vcore: Normal
CPU Vcore Offset: +0.100V
CPU RING Voltage: Normal
CPU RING Voltage Offset: +0.100V
I also noticed in another post that switching SATA from AHCI to IDE (or vice versa) might help, but that didn't work here – when I switched to IDE the computer wouldn't boot at all.
If anyone else has managed to overclock this CPU and motherboard, could you share your settings? Any advice would be really appreciated. I just want this to work!
It appears 4.1GHz was a bit too high for your configuration.
If I were you, I would adjust these settings
CPU Clock Ratio: 40
Uncore Ratio: 34
CPU Vcore Offset: +0.070V
CPU RING Voltage: Auto.
This should run a little slower but remain stable.

Thank you for the update – I completed a stress test on 95 and everything ran smoothly at around 60°C. No BSODs.
If you’re planning to boost the frequency, should I tweak the VCore or the offset? Or is 40 the best speed for your current build?
