I own a G3258 processor bought for overclocking purposes, paired with an MSI H81M-E33 motherboard. I previously managed a modest overclock of 4.0 GHz, but recently observed a change in performance. I checked my core clocks using CPUZ and found them to be 3.2 GHz. My BIOS remains current. I replaced the original Intel DLL with a backup copy (for my first attempt) and downloaded a new GPU driver earlier today—though I’m unsure if that impacted things. I’ve experimented with various OC configurations, but they’ve stabilized at 3.2 GHz. Sorry, I’m still learning CPU overclocking.

RedHotChiliPepper shared his experience with an overclocking setup. He used a G3258 processor, an MSI H81M-E33 motherboard, and had previously achieved a 4.0 GHz speed. Recently, his performance improved until he noticed a change in core clock readings at 3.2 GHz using CPUZ. His BIOS was up to date. He updated the genuine Intel DLL to a backup version for the first time and downloaded a new GPU driver earlier today, wondering if it might have caused any changes. He tested various OC settings but found himself stuck at 3.2 GHz. He admitted being a beginner with CPU overclocking.

I own a g3258 that I bought just for overclocking, with an Msi h81m-e33 motherboard. Before, I had a minor overclock at 4.0 ghz. Recently, my speed improved until I noticed a change. I checked my core clocks in CpuZ and found them at 3.2 ghz. My BIOS is current. I replaced the original intel.dll with a backup version (for my first OC) and downloaded a new GPU driver earlier today—did that affect anything? I’ve tried various OC configurations, but they’re stuck at 3.2 ghz now. Sorry, I’m still learning CPU overclocking.

I remember from when I had that CPU it showed stock speeds during overclocking. To test, I downloaded HWmonitor and ran a stress test to see what the system reported. Or maybe Task Manager can display real speeds when you put load on the CPU.
