use z170 board with early bios over clocking then possible by 10-15% makes big diff. that's with stock cooler and no change in voltage!
Robert F. Raschke (09:50 PM, December 24, 2016)
It is not!

G4400 is unlocked as well.
This comment only (06:20 AM, February 21, 2016)
The g3258 is the only unlocked dual core from Intel. Meaning it can get up to speeds of 4.7ghz or even higher for some. That's why it is recommended so much.
kanym (03:37 AM, February 13, 2016)
so, recommending the g3258 because of its single core performance, when the g4400 outperforms it in every category including that. nice job.
