But some cpu intensive games just care about single thread clock speed like arma 3 ? my quad i5 750 cannot be overlocked as i blew the keyboard fuse on my board im stuck at stock levels and arma 3 has gone from 60 fps to 20-30 fps because the clock speed isn't 4ghz + anymore.

It's alright, running myself one right now @4.6ghz I can feel the difference between it and a quad.It's still snappy but multitasking obviously suffers slightly but only slightly and alright for most games at 1080p I'd imagine.
Does 33 gigaflops sec on IBT my old socket 1156 i5 750 quad at 4ghz did 57 odd a sec I think, so it's solid but 2/3 gen old quads will beat it.
I wouldn't pay retail for it a second hand haswell quad k can be had for double or less than the G3258 new price.

I got one to flash bios and test the system.
CPU @ 4.6Ghz, GPU CF 290x's, ram 16gb Kingston 2133Mhz
When loading online BF4 it would hang and take 10mins to get past loading screen.
You would pick up an i3 on the MM for £60, i would go with that

what voltage did you use btw ? I've found the chip @4.6 needs 1.36 volts minimum to be fully stable ie IBT asus real bench and encode test
4.5ghz is stable fully at 1.345 volts uncore all on auto Phase at 2.00 volts
The choke point on these definitely seems to be around the 4.5 ghz mark at 1.35 volts area
Really cool running chips though stays below 75c on IBT fluctuates at 66-71 but peaks at 74-75c even at 1.37 volts but you can add 5-10c on that for summer
Thats with a noctua d14 with 2 x thermalright 140mm fans at a slow 800 rpm each

I have that issue with BF4 and I use a 3970x and Titan Black SLI. It just sits as an icon in my task bar until I click on it, then takes an age to load.
I don't think that's down to the Pentium it could be something else.

I had that with BF4 until i put it onto my SSD, solved all my problems.
I'm running it from a GB per sec RW RAID stripe so it's certainly not that.
It's the game tbh.
Yup that's usually the culprit.
