Issues reported on the Intel Pentium G3258 and MSI H81M P33
Hello, I just built my pc the other day with an Intel pentium g3258 and an MSI h81m-p33 and I've oc the pentium to 3.9 MHz from stock 3.2 MHz but every time I go over 3.7 MHz windows won't launch. I know this processor can reach 4 MHz on a stock cooler. It was my first build here's the link:

Thank you!
You won't achieve maximum performance from your CPU on an H81 motherboard. A Z97 can boost voltage, enabling higher overclocks with adequate cooling. [/strike]
I own an MSI H81M-P33 board that restricts voltage increases but permits multiplier adjustments; [/strike] so begin by adding +0.1GHz from the base speed and test stability. Then increment by +0.1GHz repeatedly, monitoring consistency. *Note: I discovered later that a G3258 model supports voltage boosts, though 4690K or 4790K upgrades aren't supported on this H81M-P33.*

Some chips simply can't be overclocked reliably.*
For Windows 10, this could be the answer you're looking for:
