Isn't that exactly what you already have picked out, or am I missing something here?

Oh crap, you're completely right. Noob mistake lol.

Well, I guess I can upgrade to the G3258 and then maybe when I get more cash later on I'll get an aftermarket cooler to OC.

Happens to the best of us


I would, it's only $15 more and it would be a better option.

Most people overclock G3258 on Intel stock cooler . 3.2->4.4->4.6GHz stable without aftermarket cooler

Happy to have caught that one for you.  Considering that processor is a gift from Intel to the enthusiast community, it'd be a waste not to capitalize on it's OC ability.  There won't be future low end processors with OC capability and Intel did us one further and allowed the processor to be OC'd on cheap boards (Normally this is reserved for premium Z series boards).  I'd still check and ensure your board can OC this processor though or find one that is verified to do so (that is still cheap).

Yes, but how are the temperatures? Intel stock coolers are rather crappy so I think I'll wait a few extra weeks to get a decent $30 cooler.

I'll double check the motherboard and it's overclocking functionality. Even if I only hit 4000 MHz, I will still gain a good increase in performance.

The Intel stock cooler is designed to dissipate the 88 Watts of Intel's top consumer CPUs at stock clocks. The G3258 starts much lower than this in terms of power output (53W), but comes with the same cooler. Even at 4.5+ GHz, it's still not putting out 80W of heat, so the cooler's well within specification and can handle it.

I guess I'll go for it since many users hit 4.2Ghz+ on stock while staying under 65C... I've always been told that the anniversary pentium doesn't use the same cooler as the i5s/7s though. Hmm.
