Had a G3258. Easily overclocked it to 4.5GHz at 1.285v stable. Great performance for a $65 chip. I used a $20 Zalman cooler with it and had max temps of 75 degrees with Prime95 Small-FFT test. Realistically, it wouldn't have gone over 60 degrees during normal usage and gaming.
Pair it with any cheap motherboard that's not Gigabyte. Gigabyte has the voltage on their boards locked to 1.2v for overclocking the G3258.
