I previously had an Asrock H81M DGS board where I boosted the Pentium to 4Ghz at 1.280v and switched to the MSI Z97S SLI Krait edition, keeping the same core voltage as before. Does that indicate my chip isn't suitable for overclocking?

It's not an ideal one, but it could be acceptable depending on the curve shape for 3258. I've experienced two units; the first failed during a faulty de-lidding process involving Liquid Metal Ultra, reaching 4.2 at 1.24, while the second (still operational) achieves 4.4 at 1.18.
Good news, it's an affordable chip, and increasing its voltage beyond normal operation won't cause catastrophic failure.

It's not an ideal one, but it could be decent depending on the curve shape. I've experienced two units; the first failed during a faulty de-lidding process involving Liquid Metal Ultra, reaching 4.2 at 1.24, while the second (still in use) hits 4.4 at 1.18.
Good news—it's an affordable chip—and increasing its voltage beyond normal won't cause catastrophic failure.

my G3258 was limited to 4.2GHz at 1.4V
