Pentium G3258 overclocking configurations failing to persist.
Pentium G3258 overclocking configurations failing to persist.
Hey everyone, just wanted to let you know I finally decided to overclock my PC. I went into the BIOS and adjusted a few settings, aiming for a clock speed of 4.0 MHz. Everything started up quickly and everything seemed fine. Then I tried pushing the limits to see how stable it would be. I ran it for 15 minutes without any crashes. That confirmed my clock speed was stable. After restarting, I noticed my overclock settings were reset back to the ones I originally set—3.2Mhz. Could someone help me with this?
Do you have Non-Z OC activated on page 51? (page 51)
Check if the latest BIOS for the board is installed. Try this: reset everything in BIOS to default settings, save, and reboot back into BIOS. Make one adjustment to the multiplier with a single click, save, exit BIOS, and go back to the desktop. Observe whether the OC setting stays. If it does, restart and verify if the OC setting disappears again.

Hey everyone, just wanted to check in. I decided to overclock my PC and adjusted the BIOS settings. I set the CPU to 4.0 MHz, and everything started up quickly—great! Then I ran a stress test for 15 minutes without any crashes, which means the clock speed is stable. After restarting, my overclock settings reset back to the ones I originally chose, which were 3.2Mhz. That’s a bit confusing. Can someone help me figure this out? I’m getting a little stuck and need some guidance.
Do you have your configurations saved prior to shutting down BIOS?
Are you adjusting settings yourself, or relying on the system's native firmware for updates?
Could changes in other BIOS parameters signal a failing power source?
Are you preserving your configurations before shutting down BIOS?
Are you altering settings yourself or relying on the system's own firmware to update?
Could some BIOS parameters be disappearing, suggesting a failing battery?
Are you saving your settings before exiting BIOS? Yes, F10
Are you making changes manually or using the built-in firmware for updates? I prefer the built-in method; manual attempts didn't succeed
Are there any other BIOS configurations being lost that might point to a weak battery?
No...
