Pentium g3258 Overclock
Hello, I haven't posted much before, but I have a question about my overclocking experience. While working on my Pentium G3258, I achieved 4.1 GHz with a 41 CPU ratio and 1.3 CPU core voltage. I'm just starting out and unsure if this is the maximum possible since under load it drops below 80°C using both Intel Burn Test and Prime95. When I increase the CPU ratio to 42, the system becomes unstable.
My setup includes:
- 2x Corsair Vengeance 8GB RAM
- 1x Corsair 600W PSU CX600M
- 1x ADATA 2GB RAM
- 1x Pentium G3258 CPU
- 1x Hyper 212 Evo CPU heatsink
- 1x Sandisk 256GB SSD
Thanks and sorry if I missed any rules when posting first.
Reached the thermal ceiling with that cooler. With improved cooling, a higher stable overclock might be achievable, but that would require adding vcore. I wouldn't go any further. Although you won't likely measure such high temperatures, it's wise to keep the chips below 70°C for continuous overclocking.
You've reached the thermal ceiling with that cooler. With improved cooling, a higher stable overclock might be achievable, but that would require adding vcore. I wouldn't go beyond that. Even if you rarely reach those extreme temperatures, it's wise to keep the chips below 70°C for continuous overclocking.

Thanks! I wasn't sure if my chip was overheating.
