Hi everyone.

I´m having a bit trouble over clocking my pentium g3258 past 4.1 Ghz

I´ve read that people have been getting it up to 4.7 Ghz and even more.

In my case the CPU uses more voltage than all the other overclocks I've read about.

at 4.1 Ghz i have set it to 1.255v
but when I'm stress testing with OCCT, CPU-Z tells me that the core voltage is around 1.280v
Temperatures also seems to be higher that everyone else, lying around 74-80C

I am a bit confussed and would like to get some more juice out of my CPU if possible.
Hope you guys can help :)

What cooler are you using? If you're using the stock cooler that came with the CPU you're doing quite well. You'll want to pick up an aftermarket cooler if you want to get better speeds and temps. I'd go with a Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo.
