TOP FAVORABLE REVIEW
Intel G3258 bad OC chip

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

The first runs of this chip were probably the best.

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

TOP CRITICAL REVIEW
Was Awesome, Now gimped

This chip WAS awesome. Easy to overclock from 3.2 ghz to 4.2 ghz with no problems AND with the stock cooler it came with.

With the release of some microcode from Intel to Microsoft, this chip is no longer overclockable if you upgrade to Windows 10, or if you install specific updates for Windows 7 or Windows 8, 8.1

If you try to upgrade, you'll get a SAFE_OS failure and a continual reboot loop.
