Was getting some random BSOD's while doing windows updates and installing programs, kicked the ring voltage up to 1.23v, not a problem since.

I'm pretty sure rebate cash is paid upfront to the rebate company, and unpaid is usually returned..
I just installed Aida.. this stresstest is not going to be nearly as stressful..

That was awhile ago though, this bankruptcy is recent, didn't you just order that CPU cooler recently with the rebate?

Ok. Going on the "don't go over 1.25v" theory for ring voltage (just like I don't like going over 1.4v for vcore, those review sites that were doing 1.5v kinda scared me) 42x ring was a no go all...

Ring voltage on auto is currently telling me it's at 1.312v, should I kick it down to 1.25 and re-run the stress tests?
Edit: from what I've googled, it's supposed to be ~1/2 a volt behind vcore,...

Well here's my final settings, hope it helps others. It's mostly the same as xtp's, with some minor differences. I also kicked the fans up a notch each (except the last one which is already 100%)...

I think you're right, the bios fan controls seem to be throttling a bit too much, I'll have to tinker with those too. Unchecking the "smart fan" option just runs the fans at 100% all the time, which...

The fans probably won't help the g3258 so much.. you can edit the fan in bios though.. under the Monitor tab.
Delid might be able to get you an extra 100mhz though..
