I have a pentium 3258 i am trying to overclock and whatever i do the motherboard resets it back to 3.2ghz every time i save the configuration and reboot. I have all core ratio on 3.6 ghz (which isnt a high overclock for this chip at all!). Please help me get this cpu overclocked!
My specs:
Intel Pentium g3258 anniversary edition
Corsair h80i AIO cooler
Gigabyte z97n-wifi
gtx 760 mini itx

Flashed a new BIOS, but now the overclock is all over the place. I have it set for 4.3 ghz in the bios, but it fluctuates from the low 3 ghz all the way to 3.9 ghz?

edit: also disabled all power saving functions like c1 c3 c6 etc to where the frequency doesnt change on idle, still no luck

[strike]It looks like I was supposed to do a reset to default after the bios and now I have my g3258 overclocked to 4.0 ghz! Currently have it on 1.3v vcore but it will be turned down when i start playing more with OC's. Thank you so much, I thought I was going to have to RMA![/strike]

Yes it does, but i am back again sadly. When i boot into ubuntu it still says my default clock of 3.2ghz, which im guessing means the overclock wasnt successful.

Frequency in bios is showing 4.0 ghz (hovering around 3.8-4.0), thermal monitoring is off.
