What mobo are you using?
All 3 830's I have hit 260-270 at 1.425 or less (1 hits it at 1.4125).
1 of them is an ES and i have to run it with a 14 multi to get the same fsb as the others at 15.
If you can get your VC down a bit on your oc your temps will be even better.
I assume those are idle temps you posted?
In a closed cover case you will need lots of fresh air in, ideally right into the hsf on the side cover to keep your temps tolerable under load.
Loosen your mem timings and/or reduce the multiplier to 1:1 to see if you can get to 260-270. Thats as far as any of mine will go stable on air ... and i have tried them on p5ld2's, p5wd2, p5wd2-p and p5wd2-e. Same results on all those mobo's. They are all running now on p5ld2's (945 chipset) and i run presslers on the 975 mobos.
I think fishy hit 5 ghz on an 830 but cooling was with phase change or DI i believe.
Water cooling is a good choice for the DC's, but not essential. They tolerate 60's load temps just fine. Mine have been running 724 on air for about 6 mo's now.
