Intel Pentium G3258-K & EVGA Z87 Stinger

[WeLikeLead]

Hi all,

I am thinking of making a mITX rig (for the lol's) using the following CPU and mainboard.

CPU: G3258-K
Board: EVGA Z87 Stinger mITX

Does anyone know if the Stinger supports the overclock functionality of the Pentium?

Aslong as they're the same socket (LGA1150) which they are, you should have no problem with that. Planning on a graphics card?

Since it is for the lol's it would probably be an EVGA 750Ti FTW (acx)

An EVGA motherboard? don't get another one

Get something better, I'd personally just get a z97 as they support OCing the pentium out of the box whereas the EVGA will probably need a bios update.

I did look at the Z97 Stinger, over all it makes no difference between the two as it is for the lol's. EVGA boards for overclocking are awesome as I have posted some beast scores on my X79.

According to EVGA's website it isn't supported mate, but then again it isn't supported on any of their Z97 motherboards either, so who knows. In the least a bios update would be needed I should imagine mate.

Sorry! ^_^ I should probably check things before just trying to be the first to help

Same problem

Bios needs an update. The CPU will work but no OC. I went and started my own thread on this without looking first.

If you start your own thread we can be more in depth and help you more and so this thread doesn't go off topic to someone elses problem. Just quickly though, if the CPU works on the board, which I assume means you can get into the OS, then surely you can download the drivers for your motherboard there and flash it to make it work?
