Just getting back into PC building after 20 years and diving into overclocking. I acquired a Pentium G3258 for around 70 dollars and managed to boost it to 4.1Ghz simply by tweaking the BIOS multiplier.
I wanted to start this discussion to record my journey, pose questions, and hopefully assist not only myself but others facing similar setups and challenges.

Setup details:
CPU: Pentium G3258 (stock cooler)
MB: AsRock H81 PRO BTC R2 (Bios 1.20)
RAM: Kingston 1x8Gb DDR3-1600 CL11
PSU: Corsair VS650
Cinebench Stats:
3.2Ghz 235 standard max 43°
3.6Ghz 262 +11% max 48°
4.0Ghz 289 +23 max 52%)
4.2Ghz 307 +30% max 61°
Many questions remain...

1) Should I consider Intel SpeedStep? It seems beneficial that the system can adjust its speed when idle. However, my PC failed with a whea_uncorrectable_error at 4.2Ghz when SpeedStep was active.
🙁
2) Voltage: I need to raise the CPU voltage.
- What exact value should I aim for? The HW Monitor displays VID – is that the VCore reading?
- Is there a BIOS setting that automatically controls the voltage for me?
3) Mainboard:
- Is my MB limiting overclocking capabilities?
- Should I update the BIOS firmware?
- Can I back up or version my BIOS settings somehow?
4) Temperature:
- Which temperature should I monitor (package or core in the HW monitor)?
- Will the CPU protect itself if it overheats?
- Who controls fan speed?
5) Overclocking outside BIOS: Is it possible to adjust without rebooting?

Check if overclocking is necessary for your system.

Intel's XTU doesn't permit adjusting the CPU multipliers. Is there a reason for this limitation? Can I modify settings to enable this? Should I consider updating drivers for my MB chipset? It appears Intel Haswell rev06 is the current version.

Increased the frequency to 4.4Ghz and experienced a crash at 1.3v. The same occurred at 4.3Ghz. Raised voltage to 1.35v and managed to start and run Cinebench Benchmark:
4.4Ghz 1.35v: 322cb/18fps +37% (69°)
The XTU benchmark also failed. Increasing to 1.36v didn’t improve the situation.
I’m concerned my voltages might be too high – this same model ran at 1.152Ghz at 4.3Ghz:

During CTU benchmark at 1.37v, the Core 0 temperature rose to 72° and then dropped.
