Overclocking g3258 on MSI H81M-P33
Overclocking g3258 on MSI H81M-P33
Eximo :
The DDR Double Data Rate 667MHz frequency is the actual speed the memory operates at. Unless you're trying to overclock it, it shouldn't be an issue.
Power supply isn't a brand I'm familiar with, likely not ideal.
Are you changing any settings besides the clock speed?
As the clock goes up, voltage input to the CPU and core voltage (up to about 1.3 volts) must increase too.
If you're using the standard cooler, the CPU might overheat as well.
Hey m8, are you thinking that a stock cooler won't cause overheating? I thought initially that even though a stock cooler is more than enough, it still worked fine with my setup—stock cooler, overclocked motherboard and CPU to 4.2, max around 4.5°C, no need to increase fan speed.
Unless that's the case.
This thread is quite old, but each chip behaves slightly differently. Some need no voltage changes to operate at higher speeds. I remember an early Haswell user who kept a stable 4.8Ghz running at 1.25 volts. My chip is average in terms of frequency limits, around 4.5Ghz, but it generates less heat and needs excellent cooling to maintain 1.3 volts.
I found that the standard cooler for these K series chips isn’t worth using with any of them. They’re mainly suitable for the original voltages, and even then they get a bit warm. Intel seems to confirm this, as Skylake K chips don’t come with coolers.

I found that the standard cooler is not worth the effort with any K series chips. It works only with stock voltages and gets a bit hot for me. Intel seems to agree—Skylake K chips don’t come with coolers.
That’s a good point, and it’s your own take on whether a stock cooler or one without is better. Since I’m on a budget, I stick to stock and hope for an upgrade soon, just saving up in my computer jar.
