Is the Pentium cool again?

[@BudgetBuildsOfficial]

Always loved this video, and here I am 6 years later wondering just how it compares to that i3 in the long term.

[@shapman280]

Me too, and I hope he is doing okay in whatever he is dealing it with his own situations in life. I do gotta say, this pentium in 2022 is a cool question to ask and experiment even though the answer maybe obvious.

[@satoshi649]

G3258 just built different

[@chubbykid6112]

Green Ham Gaming Subscriber Count: March 2015: 100 Subscribers December 2015: 40,000 Subscribers. April 2016: 70,000 Subscribers Wow.

[@markom2837]

+Chubby Kid Yeah I thought the same too. His content is really unique and fun, that's why I guess.

[@theangrychilli5496]

Waah? Wait, only 100? I expected him to have like 50,000. But now hes got 40,000? This goes well with my youtube "burst" theroey. There is a point where your subscriber count matches your video count, and then one day bam, you wake up with 40,000. From there you will be at 100,000 in no time. Pretty soon, you might start living off your youtube videos. But thats all for the future. They can burst at any time, sometimes 3 months, sometimes years. Mine still hasn't bursted yet. Im at 9 subs with 12 videos.

[@MrReddragongamingHD]

that is hardly an argument since those things will probably last for 2 to 3 CPU gens.

Alex Nguyen Amd is not sending their good products on this country they send athlons, bad graphic cards, palominos, 6600's and some, I asume they are 8350's chips

[@vintovkasnipera]

In India (as a fact, no sarcasm): Pentium is for cheapo's and school usage Core 2 is for old-time gamers Core non-K is for smart gamers Core K is for people who want to blow their money. APUs are for people who work and play. FX is for the smarter gamers.

[@GraveUypo]

core non-k is worthless. you buy any of the recent ones and my 2500k will blow you out of the water.

[@RatbagTheCoward]

+GraveUypo Hardly. With all the extra power consumption, the extra stress you're imposing on your CPU and the money you'll blow on a top end cooler to keep the thing from nuking the house, you could've bought a superior non-K i7 instead.

[@GraveUypo]

kcipopnevets absolutely could not. i won't bother converting to dollar, but here are the prices: i paid R$ 500,00 for this cpu back in 2012. R$ 100 for the cooler. that wouldn't cover half the price of an "equivalent" non-k i7, which in turn would be a LOT worse than this cpu is. btw a new i7 to match this nowadays is R$ 1600. so yeah, there's that too. you don't need a top end cooler to do overclocking. never did, never will. there are PLENTLY of quality cheap coolers. what you shouldn't do is use the godawful intel stock cooler. even if you're running your cpu stock. seriously, it's terrible. an moderately overclocked cpu will run cooler with a cheap-but-good aftermarket cooler than a stock cpu with stock cooler.

[@RatbagTheCoward]

***** Mainly superior as in feature-wise I meant, oops. Synthetically, sure, the K Sandy Bridge i5 would keep up with most of the Core lineup until around Cannonlake but the stock i7-2600 would've been less ill-advised for only $50 USD more, with more instruction sets, better single core performance, and hyperthreading (FX-8350 can't compare ;P) But, only for the spur of the moment of course. Even then, the i5-2400 has proven to be an amazing CPU today and plenty of Core is quick enough for barreling through any task, but to each their own I suppose; you can never work too fast. More power to you!

[@GraveUypo]

kcipopnevets yeah, i could, no joke, use a cpu a dozen thousand times faster than this one for rendering in 3DSmax. but we have to make do with what we have available. for now, this is plenty for gaming.

[@Saeng0]

March 2015 : 100 subs 1 year and a month later : 70k. damn

[@KevinCandrix]

Hi GHG, Is 4.5 ghz achievable on a Coolermaster Hyper 212 Evo you think?

[@GreenHamGaming]

Kevin Candrix If you can keep the voltage low, yeah totally. I have the crappier version in my gateway (the 414) and it keeps my boiling hot Athlon X2, very very cool

[@KevinCandrix]

Green Ham Gaming Thank you very much for the quick answer! I will order these 2 for my new build :D

[@aceofspades9845]

Green Ham Gaming i have a g3268 stable oc at 4.2 ghz on stock cooler, tried 4.5 but it was overheating so i settles for 4.2

[@halo56822]

+Kevin Candrix yes, I oc'd my friends g3258 to 4.5 on the stock cooler. Doesnt overheat.

[@Beam_Teamer]

+Chuy Castro i did 5 ghz and cooling the cpu with me blowing on it. you guys are lagging behind my expertise :)

[@sjplaysall1020]

Happy 100!- Yes the Pentium is cool once more. I think in itself its impressive that the Pentium OC can keep up with that GPU. Love the shout-out and can't wait till the next 100- or 1000! :D -SJ

[@GreenHamGaming]

Oh yes, as I said- I didn't expect it to beat the i3 but it thrashed it! Thanks again, More Green ham on the way!

[@sjplaysall1020]

Love to see it! -SJ

[@sinzofarock]

i freaking love the ways you do your videos! keep it up!

[@Noobioh]

The G3258 was a beast of a CPU for the price. i rocked it for less than a year as it didnt really fullfill my needs (which includes 1080p60fps rendering, 3D rendering and gaming). So I upgraded to a 4460 last week. :)

[@PurpleVapourFx]

Congratulations on hitting 4000 subs, mate! You are, by far, my FAVOURITE KZbinr of all time, and I think, although 4000 subs is a big milestone, that you deserve much, much more than that. Keep up the good work!

[@Quietbut_Deadly]

Wow, did he say 100 subscribers at 0:09? His channel grew SO much in 2015. It was a great fucking year

[@Vexonia_Music]

I'm just happy that the Pentium G3258's spirit of low end overclocking lives on in the Athlon 3000g

[@amessman]

100x and 1.5y later... 100,000!!!

[@JoshuaNicoll]

Well, with the Pentium G4400 the series has continued but being locked it simply isn't as good as a result, clearly this was a one off, confirmed by the fact It was only unlocked because it was the 20th anniversary. The Pentium won't be cool again until the next unlocked anniversary chip, probably 25.

[@mcl_official20XX]

You can still overclock the Pentium g4400 along with pretty much all "non-k" cpus if your motherboard has older drivers installed, a KZbin channel called Science Studio made a few videos regarding the subject.

[@JoshuaNicoll]

Yes, I follow that channel too, I even gave him two Matched Xeons. I cannot advise baseclock overclocking because you can damage components over the long term, whether that actually matters as if the parts will still be in use if something does break. you also don't get as stable an overclock, or as much of one.

[@dunxy]

It all depends on chipset, some boards separate stuff like PCIE clock when increasing BCLK, these you have no real danger on overclocking, others not so SAFE. Ive got an x79 running 125BCLK (because non K i7), as it has done for years. For sure its not as simple as upping a multi and throwing some vcore at it,some of us grew up overclocking before unlocked chips where a thing!

[@JoshuaNicoll]

No, on intel, SATA, RAM PCIe, networking and everything is derived from the baseclock, overclock that and everything gets overclocked. the X79 PCH is LGA 2011, only K series Sandy Bridge-E and Ivy Bridge-E where released on the LGA 2011 socket, so unless you have the one exception (well two I know of) or a xeon you can overclock. LGA 2011 CPUs are now pretty cheap, if you happen to have said i7-3820, it wouldn't cost too much to upgrade. While some of these things don't like being overclocked, it doesn't kill them, might just act funny. AMD overclocking is a slight pain, Core 2 overclocking is as much of a pain, lets not remember back to Pentium and Athlon days and before, we all have nightmares of those times, those are dark times, we shan't not speak of them.

[@dunxy]

Joshua Nicoll There are straps to adjust to keep ram at desired clock, pcie is seperated, at least on my board.It does not OC with BCLK of 125.At least, this is my understanding and the way my system runs, shows this.I assure you there is nothing happening with PCIE clock, or it would make my gpu unstable as its OC'd absolute MAX.Sure ram would run out of spec, if left at auto, just adjust straps to drop it within spec. Im not alone in this understanding, there are just as many who do the same , no problem, as there are those who claim BCLK is evil and will kill your board.Im sure there are boards where you cant adjust straps for anything, and the scenario you describe is true, but i do not belive it is the case with mine.If you are certain, tell me how can be proven if i am actually increasing PCIE frequency? My board is a gax79-up4 and you are correct, i have a 3820.Its @ 4.75 with 125BC, multiplier is not maxxed as to do so, i have to throw stupid vcore to get it up even 1.I have had it stable at 4.95, but temps were scary! I still stuff around overclocking old c2d and c2q for the lulz, got about a dozen in my collection.

I love the twist you put on the monotonous PC related videos on KZbin! I too am a proud owner of a Pentium g3258, well until I bought a r9 290x which seems to be a little too much for the Pentium to handle. it worked excellent with my older gtx 570 though so something to keep in mind is what hardware you have the Pentium paired with. keep up the amazing videos!

[@PragmaticTornado]

Bought one of these for my home server. It runs very cool and quiet even with the stock fan, and the performance is acceptable. Might have to upgrade to an i7 later for better multitasking, but for simple server tasks it works well. Seems like it's decent for gaming too from what I've seen on benchmarks.

[@classicwrestlingcontent8591]

Was watching this when I was suppose to take the semester finals I have heap ton of failure ahead in life

[@willanalikuri3290]

Great video, but you should test newer games optimized for four cores.... Such as Gta V... And see if the higher clock can compensate the "missing cores" (compared to i3 or i5)...

[@megapro125]

comparing the stock i3 with the pentium with the premise that the i3 costs twice as much is kinda unfair since the price of the pentium + the h100i is easily higher than the i3 with it's boxed cooler. Nice overclocking results though ;)

[@tehnoob19]

Isn't it better for the radiator fans to push the hot air directly out of the case? Unless your case does not have fan slots on the surface, i might've missed that.

Hi GHG, I noticed you had the Gigabyte BIOS when overclocking the G3258, what were the OC settings you used to achieve 4.7ghz? Currently I'm at 4.3ghz (which is a big increase over the default 3.2ghz), but I wanted to see if I could push it even more for my mini ITX build.
