How much do you guys think I can overclock the G3258 with the stock Intel cooler?
4.6ghz with good case cooling.
Damn ^_^
Actually, that clock is not stable: it rolls around. I've tried it out 10 weeks ago since I had some spare money from my PC build: I tried it out first with the stock cooler. Max stable OC: 4.4 GHZ. With Hyper 212 Evo: 4.8 GHZ stable. Max for me: 5 GHZ. Theoretical with water cooling: 5.2 GHZ. Devil's Canyon, lol, more like God's Canyon.
That's really good considering most games are still utilizing only two cores.
Thanks, I will be getting the H212 soon. :) Im new to overclocking.
