G3258 cache ratio cannot be set +other quirks

Hello, I have been using throttlestop to overclock my G3258 because my Asrock H97m-itx/ac doesn't support changing vccin/vrin from the bios, supplied "A-Tuning" utility, and intel XTU. I have a modded bios with mcu v12, which was the last version that works with overclocking on my setup.

When trying to set cache > 32 by typing in "min/max", pressing apply resets it back to 32, however when I change CacheMinMax0 to 0x827 it applies the setting, but instead of 39 it only goes up to 38.

Is there a secret line I can add to the ini file like for the igpu on other platforms? Changing the cache works from asrock atuning, but I can't use that since it doesn't have vccin, and I can't use them both at once because they conflict with each other.

Another issue is I have to check the overclock button each time I change settings, since it's always unchecked when I open turbo fivr control, but that's pretty minor.
 
The Overclock box works correctly on my K series CPU. The G3258 with an early mcu can be overclocked but they are likely a little different compared to an unlocked K series CPU. I have never had my hands on a G3258 for development purposes so I have no idea what is different. When ThrottleStop queries the CPU to see if overclocking is available, your CPU reports no so ThrottleStop disables the Overclock box and limits the maximum cache ratio because of this.

My programming computer is unplugged and in storage so no time to work on ThrottleStop for the next few months. It is going to be a while before I can try and help you figure this out.
