Hi guys

I am considering buying this mobo and pairing it with a pentium G3258. The only reason I am getting this CPU is because it is a great overclocker, and I just wanted to hear, if someone who owns this board knows if the board supports overclocking, and to what extent.

Thanks so much!

I have this board so I can confirm that you can't overclock with this board. You can get H81M- D Plus @newegg for $44.99 after $10.00 rebate card. Or you can get MSI z87-G41 at ebay for $55-$65. I was able to overclock w/ this board up to 4.5Ghz (60-65C max temp) with Enermax ETS-T40-TB CPU Cooler.
 
I wouldn't get an MSI MoBo.
A lot of people have had nothing but issues with MSI MoBos.Not everyone,but there are more people that have had than people that haven't had problems. The H81M-D PLUS is a decent MoBo and OP will be able to OC the 3258 to 4.0-4.2 GHz.
