my fittings aren't hurrying up. Enjoy being on top of the leader boards while you can.
1.4v are safe for more than 2 days nearly 24/7 Prime95 then it grills everything... :lol:

I've no doubt in my mind I will be shunted off the top spot soon, I look forward to it, it's going to be fun.my fittings aren't hurrying up. Enjoy being on top of the leader boards while you can

I would push it to 5.5ghz+
You would cause a fire and burn down whatever city you live in.

I've done 5.3ghz before, and had a first gen i5 on 1.7v, no fires yet
that makes me cautious...

Might just break out my ol' seidon 120 and get some benching done as this watercooling lark is taking me forever to get round to sorting out.
Sounds like a plan dude, I might disassemble the rig and prep her for something spesh... my mind's in mod mode right now.

born in a.....
H100i mod like Tom did?

Mmmm only 33 fans short :lol: but no I had the Idea that I would get the case polished back to bare metal and have her black Kashima coated... but then I thought what if I could get the case panels etched with a circuit board design, then kashima coated... mmm maybe even acid etched then anodized. My only concern is getting the plastic front panel correctly colour matched, if it goes wrong I couldn't stand to look at it. I'm thinking outside the box this time and stepping away from the normal "lets just spray it then wrap with vinyl"

Excellent I will add you to the table when your done
don't for get only Valid scores count, check the OP for details Came here hoping to see some good overclocks on the G3258, but this thread has not been used much, so decided to post my initial results.
Just got this cpu while I wait for the i5 Broadwell. I also wanted to experiment a bit with overclocking before getting the more expensive cpu.
First overclock went very well, 4.3 GHz at 1.200 core voltage. I am using a Corsair H105 and the temps have been really good. 23C at idle and 55-58C at load running prime 95. Let it settle for a bit and I will try a higher overclock.

It's possibly the best for now, looks like you'll be hitting the limit on yours soon, it's not advised to go passed 1.4v unless you have a huge custom loop or are considering LN2. I await your validation.
The thread isn't dead that's for sure, just been busy with other stuff, work, life and other garbage.
It's a good start that bud nice job, I'll hold off with this validation and see if you get any higher.
Well that worked out pretty well, did a 4.6 GHz overclock at 1.30 volts. Still very cool, 25C idle and 60C load. Decided to try 4.8 GHz, tried 1.32v and then 1.34v, wouldn't boot, upped it to 1.37v and booted right up. Still ran reasonably cool, 25C idle and average of 64 to 66C at load running prime 95, although it did spike to 72C.
Considering I am only using an Asrock H97 motherboard I am well pleased, I figure if I had a higher end motherboard I could probably go a bit higher. I have seen several people that have posted in comments and reviews that they were unable to get this cpu over 4.0 GHz regardless of the amount of voltage they were running. So I feel very fortunate.

The 4.3 GHz seems like a very useable overclock, low voltage and runs very cool.

Something like this?
G3258 (4400Mhz @ 1.275V, 100Mhz x44)
Hyper 212 Evo W/ Stock fan 60-70c
Asus H81M-E
G.Skill 1600Mhz CL8 8GB (2x4GB) XMP
Gigabyte R9 280X 3GB Windforce Edition
35c idle
70c full load, still need to run prime 95 to fully test it
This is just a first go at it... Still need to tweak the settings as most of it is set to auto
Edit: I ran it 4.3Ghz @1.275v for 8 hours Aida64 Stress test last night, it has not crashed or anything yet, temps stabled out @36c Idle, 63c Maxed out on (Open air) with an Antec 120mm 2 speed case fan on low since the 212 EVO has a faulty fan and the fan speed is not registering and was running @ full speed. (It is really loud @ full speed or just I use a pair of Bose QC15 Active noise cancelling over ear headphones so I'm not used to it...)
BTW how high do you think I can crank the little thing before I hit 80c under load? Also, should I enable speedstepping? I turned it off to lessen the chances of problems for me.
