Question 2

can you overclock with this motherboard? I have a G3258 from a couple years back. Upgraded to i7 4790k so i no longer need this g3258. but if there's a cheap motherboard that can overclock it a little bit, I'll make a media center PC out of it.

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can overclock with this.

I built a PC a year ago with this MB and an G3258.  If I remember correctly, overclocking for this motherboard wasn't enabled out of the box.  It required a specific version of firmware for the board.

Probably not and yes it does

Can it overclock the G3258?

Yes, technically - but I wouldn't recommend doing so. It's nowhere near ideal for overclocking. The components of this board aren't really up to the task.
