Anyone out there tried the new G3258 on a H81 motherboard?

Seeing reports that Asus, Asrock and MSI (I think) had managed to make their boards clockable.

Anyone any experience?
 
Should be having a play with mine on my Asrock H81 Pro BTC motherboard tomorrow. One thing I did notice, on Asrock's site, it says the G3258 has been supported since BIOS 1.50, however there is a new 1.80 BIOS posted a few days ago that says "Pentium G3258 supported" so am hoping that this will unlock the overclocking on it.
 
Finally got to test mine, after finding my Asrock H81 was kaput. Picked up an MSI H81-E33. Got it running no problem at 4.2ghz @1.20v running around 55c under load on a Akasa Venom Nano HSF, can't seem to get any higher tho. Don't know if it's the motherboard or the chip, but still it's a fast little system for next to no dough. Will have another play at the weekend.
