Overclocking the Intel Pentium G3258

adam___subtractem · Jul 23, 2014

Hi guys! I just got the Pentium G3258 and the Cooler Master 212 Evo, but I am needing some help with the overclock. I am using the AsRock z97 motherboard and the BIOS with it. Can anybody show me a guide or a piece of software to use for overclocking? I am 100% new to this and have no idea what I am doing lol Thank you!!!

You should have gotten a utility called A-Tuner with your mobo disk. If not, you can download it from the Asrock website. I recommend doing some research before you go crazy with the overclocking though- it's not that difficult to fry your chip if you make a mistake. There's lots of OC tutorials and guides online and on this website.

Or, you can go into your BIOS and adjust the clock speed and/or the clock multiplier.

That's not something I would advise a beginner with no experience or knowledge of overclocking to do. It's one way of learning, but replacement chips can get expensive. If he wants the OC now, and the knowledge later, he's much better off sticking with a software-regulated OC - there's still a chance he'll BBQ his Pentium, but it's much, much less likely using software.
