Seems like ur proc bad than mine.
I can boot with 4.4ghz but not stable even at 1.375v, didnt try out limit of proc.
Currently running 4.1ghz @ 1.262v with 68'c under prime95 stress test, low temp thanks to lovely Xigmatek DarkKnight under silent fan mode
(Max fan speed get lower 2'c but not much different ~ impressive hsf effective.)
I got another same rig for my friend, he got the chip made from costa rica than my proc made from malaysia ~
Start get overclock to 4.1ghz smoothly around 1.1v ~ and get 4.4ghz at 1.250v (didnt try the sweet spot) but because of intel hsf, it get 87'c under prime test. (Seems like a nice hsf r really different much with intel hsf)
Finally i stopped at 4.2ghz @1.160v because get safe temp of 75'c under stress test.
I guess I really have a bad batch. Btw here my settings I've done. Now only able boot and stable using 1.3v @4.0Ghz 70C Prime Test.

G3258
8GB DDR3 Dominator Platinum at 2133mhz@1.5v 9-11-10-21-1T (Doesnt affect overclock running at 1333mhz or this, tested both setting also failed)
Asus Maximus Impact VI
240GB Samsung PM851 M2 SSD
730W Thermaltake PSU 80+
Tested with Both R9 290 and GTX750 Ti same result
So I guess I got a really really bad chip right?
