Hey guys,
I am really tempted to go ahead and get myself a G3258 as I really want to learn and practice overclocking properly and have heard this is a great chip to do so with. But I am a little confused about what mobo to get and what to expect from the CPU.
Firstly, what would be a good board to go along with this CPU? (bearing in mind I don't want to spend too much... around £100)
Secondly, I heard this CPU can be overclocked on B85 and H81 boards if I download relevant BIOS updates but also read this could significantly reduce what I could get out of the overclock, is this true and am I better off going with a Z97 board instead?
Third and finally, what are some of the overclocks you guys have achieved with this CPU? along with the hardware you have running along side it!
Thanks, Jasper.
