system specs
cpu pentium g3258 with stock cooler
gpu none
mobo biostar hifi z87x 3d
psu evga 500w 80 plus
ram 4gb 2 x 2gb
my problem is when i boost the core ratio to 3.5 then 3.8 with c states off everything's fine passes intel burn test and only 1c is difference between the 2 speeds runs 53c @ 3.8 ghz at full load, but when i boosted to 4.1 it kept restarting with no post and about 1 min later it posted and had reset the setting's back to stock 3.2 ghz i dropped to 4.0 ghz and same thing tried setting ring bus to 3400 then 3500 both to no prevail.
then i read a little guide went in tovercloacker tried 4.0 ghz test it passed tried it with vcore setting to over ride then it shut down had to reset cmos and now it's fine running on stock speeds do i need to up the vcore now or what. note i never got a blue screen.
i'm trying to get 4.2-4.4 ghz on the stock cooler with temps between 60-65c if i can then i will know where to go from there to finish the system to get another 4 gb of ram and know which graphics card i can afford
thanks for any help
edit: i tried changing cpu ratio to 4.2 and 4.3 also cpu voltage mode to override and put 1200 it kept restarting then posted then reset back to stock. also tried 1300
then i tried the above with 1200 on the cpu voltage but with ring voltage mode to override and also put 1200 on it but still no prevail
edit#2: tried 3.9 ghz blue screened changed vcore to 1200 blue screened but got into windows but not long tried 1300 still blue screened was able to get into windows a little longer changed ring voltage to 1300 no blue screen tried intel burn test core temp seen 72c before it froze lowered ring voltage to 1200 same problem changed ring bus to 3.8 ghz won't boot all the way to windows maybe it's a problem with the hdd it's a seagate barracuda ST3500320AS maybe not idk it's frustrating maybe ram although it past memtest forgot to mention it's crucial 1600 1.5v ddr3 and uses 256mb x 72 if you need that maybe i got a bad processor or just noob mistakes
edit#3:tried 4.0 ghz vcore @ 1260 ring bus voltage @ 1200 passed intel burn test standard with 83c on core 0 and 77c on core 1 with core temp. guess i should start upping the core ratio by 100 mhz till it blue screens then scale back but i think the best thing to do right now is get a better cpu cooler as 83c is too hot for my liking if anyone has a recommendation on the cpu cooler in the $40 range that comes with thermal paste or a cpu cooler cheap enough to add paste myself within that budget it be nice
