Intel launched its Pentium 20th Anniversary Edition G3258 processor at Computex in June. The processor pays homage to the Pentium name by having an unlocked multiplier so that it is more overclocker friendly. Needless to say, since its availability, many enthusiasts have been pushing this humble sub-£50 dual-core processor to see exactly what kinds of overclocks are possible.

HEXUS reviewed the Intel Pentium Anniversary Edition G3258 a month ago and found it to be "Decent in out-of-the-box form and providing Core-like numbers when readily overclocked to 4GHz and beyond," concluding that "there's little reason for many readers to spend more". However our processor sample only got to a final stable speed of 4.4GHz using the stock fan and a small voltage tweak. Others have been pushing the chip harder with all sorts of cooling solutions and tweaks?
