this $48 h81 e33 from MSI seems to be doing a nice job, voltage is not locked

Hello there , i'm from france and i need to know if this CPU is better than the AMD Athlon 750K after overclock .
Wich of these CPU is better for gaming (like BF4 / GTA IV, NFS MW )
It will be coupled to AMD R9 270 and an Asus H81m C
Many thanks for a reply
Sorry for my bad english
Only got 4.39GHz out of my combo, due to the voltage being limited to 1.2V. It never exceeded 70°C during Cinebench 11.5 even with high ambient temps.
I've got the G3258 + Gigabyte H81M-DS2V heading my way ($80 combo deal from Newegg). My first build and I've never overclocked...
Can you tell me what settings you used on your combo to reach 4.39GHz? I realize that chips will vary but any advice would be appreciated!

What you have experienced is boot failure due to your setting not working. It is normal. First you need to make sure you have manually set the voltage, then slowly increase the multiplier until instability or boot failure occurs.i got an ga-b85m-ds3h rev 2.0 and g3258 when i set it to 40x my pc boot but without displaying anything on the screen i had to pull the CMOS battery and put it back again to make the display work again is that normal ?????

Generally you cannot use the BIOS from a different board revision unless you know it has been done successfully. I'm sorry that you have ended up with a chip or board that is less capable than expected. My second G3258 is the same way, it won't exceed 3.9. I shouldn't be suspicious but it almost seems like a bunch of really nice chips got released to create a buzz and now we are seeing lots of dogs. I wish I had my first one back because it would run at 4.9 if I wanted it to.i used your instructions and i only get up to 3.9 after that it wont boot
P.s.: i got the ga-b85m-ds3h rev 2.0 can i flash the f6 bois that is for rev 1.1

What motherboard do you have ?Generally you cannot use the BIOS from a different board revision unless you know it has been done successfully.

No.Is your 3.9 GHz G3258 being used on a different board than the one that went 4.9 GHz?
What motherboard do you have ?
I don't think anyone can say for sure, because it has become obvious that there are great differences between G3258 samples. But your best guess would be to look at the list on page 1 of this thread and pick one that clocked high.What is the off the shelf, most rock steady non-z board for overclocking the G3258?
