I’m aiming for the G3258 and am trying to stay within a tight budget, so I’m hoping not to buy a new cooler. I want to know if the Intel stock cooler can push the G3258 to around 4 or 4.1ghz. Here are the specs: G3258, Zotac GTX750Ti, MSI H81M-E33, Antec Edge 550W.

You may attempt a stress test after overclocking using tools like occt. This will display the highest temperature your CPU can achieve. If it stays below 70-75°C, it's acceptable. Keep in mind these programs put the CPU under significant strain, unlike typical gaming scenarios.

It's fine, the 3258 is a really interesting chip, but be careful not to go over 70°C when it's in full use.

But wouldn't the heat go up above 70 degrees when pushing the speed limit? And during gameplay? (csgo and dota2)
