This should be posted in the mainboard section. You should check out the Asus site for any BIOS-updates that might give you better support. Some older boards even support 800FSB HT CPU's at the cost of OCing the chipset. With your PSU and watercooling you could also try a 2.4A 533FSB Prescott. It has 1MB L2 but unfortunatly no HT. A lot of us are curious as to what these OC to! But to be honest, even with a great OC, that wouldn't give you any real speed advantage over what you have now. (unless you run SETI all the time)
