How much additional power can I extract from my G3258?
How much additional power can I extract from my G3258?
my cpu is already overclocked at 4.2gahz with a max temperature of 56°c
i'm running the Arctic freezer 13 pro cpu cooler
The only sure way is to test it. Each chip varies slightly, so you must depend on others' experiences to understand the range from best to worst.

To understand it better, you should test it. Each chip behaves slightly differently, so you can only use others' results to gauge the range from best to worst.
I'll attempt it, but I'm unsure if my CPU temperatures will become problematic.
Your temperatures will largely come from cpu core voltages, meaning that relying solely on the cpu might allow you to increase the OC even when temperatures are low. Just need to adjust it carefully.
the last time i overclocked my cpu to 4.2 it worked smoothly at 1.330 volts. when i tried lower voltages it didn’t stabilize. now i’m back to the original 4.2gHz with 1.330 volts, but it’s still not working. i increased the voltage to 1.340-1.400 volts to reach 4.5v and got stable, but i couldn’t get it to work at all. can someone help me?|
I believed the link I shared would suffice, though your air cooler isn’t as effective as the one they tested in their research, so you won’t achieve the same outcomes. However, the linked page illustrates the performance achieved across various voltage settings, and the results you referenced are all related to the G3258’s air cooling data. This should provide a clear foundation for understanding your own cooling capabilities. If you’re interested in the air cooling methods they employed, they utilized a Noctua NH-D14 with different fan speeds, which is detailed on page 6. You can draw insights from their overclocking data to inform your own experiments, potentially surpassing their achievements by leveraging an enhanced stepping release and using a sample unit from when the G3258 was initially released.
