Using a $50 aftermarket cpu-cooler and 1.20 CPU voltage, I've gotten the core speed to a stable 4.40 GHz with a stress test temperature of about 70 Celsius. For a $75 CPU, I think that's incredible value. I have not tried to reach 4.5 GHz or further simply because I'm comfortable with 70 degrees and it satisfies what I demand of it. The performance, given the price, is excellent. It's worth noting that when stress-testing both of my large (200mm) fans were running at high speeds, and that every processor is different; do not expect to duplicate my results.

As always, I will update this review as I make changes or anything happens. I'm happy to answer any questions that you post as comments to this review. All the details for my system are below for your research or whatever else.

As a budget-minded PC enthusiast for over a decade, here are my thoughts regarding this new little Intel chip.

At the moment of writing this, at least Asus and Asrock has announced support for "official" overclocking on their H81/H87/B85 motherboards. Considering how even the cheapest boards are so well-featured these days, that means from a general value proposition point of view there is little reason to buy any of the usually significantly more expensive Z87/Z97 boards even for overclocking. With that said:

1. For HTPC, general office work and light gaming, this is of spectacular value.

3. For heavy gaming and multithreaded tasks, the quadcore Haswell chips at stock speeds are just simply better as there is no way a overclocked G3258 can even match them in these kind of workloads. You do pay more for quads, but the price differential is proportionate to levels of performance provided. Also don't forget there is always the 4690K if you really want to overclock a quadcore too.

Of course if you can find excellent combo deals, feel free to ignore my advice and knock yourself out.

I wanted to make a low price HTPC build that could do some light gaming/streaming and this processor seemed to fit the bill nicely. At near i3 performance with half the price this CPU is extremely cost effective out of the box.

One of the great things about this CPU is the fact that it comes with an unlocked multiplier. This is a feature that Intel usually only gives to the several hundred dollar processors. Pair this with one of the low end G85 boards that now allows non-Z overclock and you can make yourself a $100 combo that has the same per core score of an i7.

That said, it is still a lottery on the CPU as to whether or not you can overclock at all. My first one was unstable at stock speeds and had to go back as defective. The second one was a trooper achieving 4.2 GHZ at 1.23 volts.

Practically speaking, this is supposed to be a value processor. Sure, it's enjoyable to tinker with and if that's what you're looking for, you absolutely won't be disappointed. This processor overclocks incredibly well compared to most other processors on the market today.

But if you're trying to get the most bang for your buck, and you have to spend ~$30+ on an aftermarker cooler to get a decent overclock, well, you're probably close to an i3 money-wise, which gives you hyperthreading, a faster memory controller, and some additional instruction sets. It depends on your application as to how beneficial each of these features are, compared to the higher clock speed you can get with the g3258. For most users, I would say if you're looking into aftermarket cooling for this processor, you're probably getting a better value by spending a little extra on the processor itself (probably an i3 or fx-6300) instead of spending it on a heatsink. If you can find a good deal on an aftermarket cooler, or if you've got one lying around, you could probably squeeze some extra performance out of this guy without completely ruining the value proposition. Suffice it to say I do not understand the builds I see online that have this thing paired with a $100 liquid cooler.

Fortunately for this processor, you don't need an aftermarket cooler to get a decent overclock. I have it running stable at 4.0ghz at stock voltage. Prime95 temps maxed out around 65-70 with the stock heatsink. I haven't tried to push it further, I'm pretty content with the performance as it is now.

As far as specific applications go, I can only speak to what I'm using it for, which is light gaming. I've got it pared with an r9 270 (slightly overclocked as well) and 4gb of ram.
