Apart from other circumstances, of course.
Indeed - a person needs to research the motherboard manufacturer and model. Some H81 are low quality, while others are decent quality and can overclock the G3258 quite well,

2 years ago? Now they're about $150 or around $100 during sales. Some decent H81s were ~$40 during sales.
