I got a g3258 AE version with stock cooler ( the one that comes with it )
Do you guys recommend any settings i should be running?

Some guy was running it at 4.6ghz with 1.28 VCORE running at 85 celcius under load
I'm new with this stuff so yeah, yeah my motherboard supports Overclocking I just dont know what I should be using for Stock cooler.

As mentioned I'm new with this stuff and dont want go thru to much hassle to get it right.

First thing about overclocking: there are absolutely no guarantees that your chip will hit any particular clock using any particular settings beyond stock settings
Second thing: every chip is different - settings that work fine for one chip might not work for the next and vice versa. Every motherboard is also different and that may affect results too.

The stock cooler is designed for the CPU running at stock clock and voltage. It may have enough headroom for some overclocking but if you are remotely serious about going at it, you really need some sort of aftermarket cooking like the 212EVO or the newer 212X.
I dont think 85c is good for a cpu more like 50c so yeah dont be impressed. Second its not really recommended to overclock on a stock cooler you could get aq cheap cooler like the hyper evo 212. If you really wanted to do it on stock cooling on like a 100mhz bump probably would be safe.

Get a Pro Cooler then OC but now I recommend U to don't OC or U'll lose the CPU

If you want to overclock on the stock cooler, I suggest just overclocking without touching voltages to minimize the heat gains. Probably just go up a few notches on the multiplier. But, like everyone says, do get yourself an aftermarket cooler.
