Yes, Windows 10 can be overclocked, but it depends on your hardware and system settings.

I switched to Windows 10 preview version 10130 and accessed my G3258 via BIOS. After applying all changes and restarting into the BIOS, settings remained unchanged. Despite adjustments, the CPU speed stayed at stock levels. When I booted into Windows, cpuz confirmed it was showing stock configurations. I left it there, assuming the issue was with speed reporting. My temperature rose normally, similar to after overclocking in Windows 7, and I experienced random reboots every five minutes. Are others facing similar problems when overclocking in Windows 10 preview? I currently have the G3258 at stock speed and successfully reached 4.0, though MSI Sli + the motherboard used in Windows 7 allowed me to overclock effectively. My GPU still works as before.
Verify power-saving options in Windows. Ensure the issue isn't repeated on Windows 8 or 7.
No, I didn't experience any problems with version 7. I avoided version 8 and stopped using it because I didn't like it. I turned off all power-saving settings in the BIOS. With Windows 10 and my current BIOS, this chip works fine. Still, I might upgrade soon—just in case I need a new board. I plan to move to a newer version of Windows 10 and check if that resolves the issue.
Sure, I understand. I'll save the update for later. Right now, I'm dealing with a severe storm and don't want to lose power during the process. I've already tried before and almost had an issue.
