5 out of 5 eggsfirst oc experience

Pros: -overclocking is super easy with z97 and fun enough ^^
-super cheap ^^
-can get knowledge easily with only 70$

Cons: -somewhat pricy on newegg (60$ at other retailer)
-stock cooler useless

Other Thoughts: well it was my first oc experience I have oced it to 3.7 stock voltage and 4.5Ghz on 1.29v have stress tested it for more than 24 hour with different software including prime95 (great choice for beginning overclock but don't buy it if you're not going to overclocking it or if you don't want to spend on a cpu cooler)

5 out of 5 eggsAmazing

Pros: Price. Speed. Runs cool. Quiet fan. Surprising performance of integrated graphics at 1600x900.

Cons: Number of cores. Lack of features such as hyperthreading. Limited cache.

Other Thoughts: Paired with a 120gb SSD (Kingston in my case), it makes a very responsive machine. Java and OpenOffice install in seconds. Windows 8.1 install in 14 minutes or so.
I bought this for flash-based games (Castleville, Atlantis Fantasy). These run on a single thread/core of CPU. There aren't too many CPU's out there that can match the performance in single threaded applications of this bugger. Lookup cpubenchmark ratings for this and the score is 2147 single threaded. It also runs Wow and Diablo 3 at mid settings.
Great value here. I am an AMD fanboy but thank you Intel for making this.

5 out of 5 eggsJust buy it. Now.

Pros: Amazing Budget Computer CPU
Amazing Bang for the Buck
GREAT Overclocking
Gaming Experience is stellar

Cons: No Multi-Threading
Bad for processing/editing video
Adobe Software just plain stinks

Other Thoughts: This is an amazing CPU and the pricing is more then fair for it. If you are building a budget gaming system or even a top notch gaming system, this is an amazing chip. It is not for Adobe users or anyone who is planning to do Multi-Threaded work at all. If you want a solid processor for editing, content creation or any other heavy non gaming heavy workload, go purchase a 4790K or even a chip from the 2011-3 socket.

5 out of 5 eggsgreat home server cpu

Pros: works great as a home server cpu. decided to use this with some spare parts to run a home server. I originally had a raspberry pi but only got ~3mbps transfer speeds. over Ethernet. upgraded to this and my old Asus z87-a and get 50-60 Mbps over Ethernet at stock speeds. low power.
overclockable.

Cons: not hyperthreaded but does what I need it to as is.

4 out of 5 eggsAwesome overclock

Pros: This is a pretty beastly overclocker. I got mine up to 4.3 GHz on 1.14V vcore on the stock cooler without hitting the 80s temperature-wise while stress testing using Prime95 SmallFFTs.

Cons: It's a dual core without hyperthreading, so there is some stutter in heavily threaded games like Battlefield 4 and Crysis 3 unless you put an aggressive frame cap of 30 FPS on.

Other Thoughts: Overall this is a great low budget gaming CPU with monster single thread performance thanks to a huge overclock. You're probably not going to get better single thread performance in anything less than an i5-4690k, which costs more than 3x as much. This makes the G3258 the ideal CPU to use for emulation such as PCSX2 unless you get a lame overclocker. For a budget gaming PC this is also a great combo with a midlevel video card like a GTX 750Ti or an R9 270x. Anything more and you'll have a real bottleneck in heavily threaded games, though this CPU will run Tomb Raider and Bioshock Infinite like a champ even on very high end cards like the 780Ti. Don't believe the hype about it being comparable to an i5 or i7 on Battlefield though.

3 out of 5 eggsOverclocked

Pros: EZ overclocked with ASUS Z97-A LGA 1150 Intel Z97 5-Way Optimization by Dual Intelligent Processors 5

Cons: Was not stable above 3.9 GHz .
It bottlenecks my GTX 760 graphics card, even when overclocked.
CPU Usage while running archeage and WOW set on normal graphics settings is a constant 100 percent.

Other Thoughts: my CPU didn't overclock as well as had hoped.
Don't recomend if going over a GTX 750

My sys:
ASUS Z97-A LGA 1150 Intel Z97 with 5-Way Optimization by Dual Intelligent Processors 5
G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600
ASUS GTX 760-DC2OC-2GD5
CORSAIR Hydro Series H60 Liquid CPU Cooler

5 out of 5 eggsBest price to performance CPU

Pros: Inexpensive
Fast
Stable

Cons: Only supports 1600mhz RAM

Other Thoughts: This processor is amazing when overclocked. I used the Asrock H81M-ITX and used the built-in software to overclock it to 4.2 with no stability issues. My benchmarks put this guy at the same level as the i-3 4330 which costs twice as much as this processor. Overclocking on non-Z boards for this is not as big a deal because you are only overclocking 2 cores instead of 4. When coupled with a good GPU, this things will game at 1080p with no issues. If you can find a CPU/MB combo for this it is a steal. Buy now!

4 out of 5 eggsExcellent budge CPU!

Pros: Great Value
Good overclocking
Quick Sync for media decoding

Cons: Only dual core
no hyperthreading
Integrated graphics are mediocre

Other Thoughts: For $80.00 this really cannot be beat. Look for a budget itx board and this would be a perfect HTPC processor. It overclocks like a monster if you have a good air cooler or with liquid. If you don't, it still runs exceptionally well at stock speeds and is a major improvement if you are on an old system. It would be a great way to move to the 1150 socket, then later buy something faster. Spread out the cost of an upgrade.

5 out of 5 eggsIntel G3258 bad OC chip

Pros: Ive bought two of these and both were good chips. The latest one was not. The highest OC I could get was 3.6Ghz. Tried two different board. Also tried a board with a G3258 that will do 4.8Ghz. Still 3.6 @1.22v is the max

Cons: The first runs of this chip were probably the best.

Other Thoughts: Its still a great chip. Feels snappy and holds its own with applications and gaming

5 out of 5 eggsGreat little Over clocker!

Pros: The price is so low and yet I can get this to 4.5Ghz no problem. Its an amazingly good over clocker if you have a liquid cooler like an H75(This is what I am using). Also the price is great if your planning a budget gaming build. Save the $100(us) and spend some of that on a cooler; as for the rest you can spend that on what ever you like.

Cons: dual core. I WANT MEH QUAD CORE PENTIUM K! (Jokes)

Other Thoughts: I have this installed in a MSI gaming 5 and its a great little processor for a budget build. Or at least a budget gaming build, due to its conveniently cheap price and amazing over clock ability. I'd suggest this to anyone looking for a starter build to get your skill with build PC's up.
