Heat can most certainly affect your o/c. The lower your temps, the higher you can o/c. Looks like your cpu temp is high based on your idle temp. What HSF are you using?

It's either voltage or just the chips limit...With that in mind, try lowering the mult to raise fsb more and see if you can go higher. Also try raising vcore.

You should see a nice increase in your o/c with the water setup.
