Can you maintain a voltage of 1.4V on the Intel Pentium G3258?
Can you maintain a voltage of 1.4V on the Intel Pentium G3258?
I'm testing at 1.295V at 4500Mhz with stable temperatures of 78 under load using the stock cooler. I'm trying to push the CoolerMaster Hyper TX3 overclock further. Comparing with the provided review suggests higher voltages are needed for stable overclocks. I'm wondering if I can reach a maximum of 1.4V or how much more I can increase it. I'm currently running my computer non-stop for 12 hours daily, but I'll be on holiday soon and only use it occasionally. My goal is to ensure the CPU lasts at least six years before replacing it.
If you operate the G3258 at 1.4V for a long time, its lifespan will likely be very short. If it remains unused, it could last indefinitely.
A G3258 is almost outdated today and will become completely obsolete in about six years.
The stock cooler performs well with that chip, maintaining stable temperatures around 1.35V, though only at a modest 4.5Ghz—compared to the other model which drops to 4.2Ghz even at 1.42V.
The key issue is why you need such a high overclock for this device.
