MSI P6N Platinum and e4300

Question

I just received my new MSI P6N SLi platinum along with a brand spanking new 8800GTS.
I am currently running an e4300 in a cheapo ECS board I got as a package from Fry's 8 months back. I am running the processor with the infamous BSEL mod to unlock the FSB.
Does it matter with the new board if I keep the BSEL mod? Will it hurt my ability to OC? I am shooting for somewhere in the 3.0 to 3.2 Ghz mark as I am an avid gamer.
Haven't found a lot of information on using the mod outside of the ECS boards, so really in the dark here.

Answer 1

Hmm so I spent a good chunk of time messing with it, and I am a bit disappointed. My problem seems to be heat, but I am hitting that wall much quicker than I expected.
Remember I am using a antec 180 case with a zalman 7000 alu/cu HS with arctic silver 5 thermal grease. Also my memory is DDR2800 Ballistix which seem fine with a linked 1:1 ratio.
I am using coretemp to read the temps and both prime95 and orthos to test for stability/heat.
I am running everything at a 9x multi on my e4300
I tested up to 2.86 ghz with a vcore increase of about .085(which seemed like a lot for that much of an OC for an e4300)
That gave me temps of about 74 on load with two copies of orthos, and about 65 with prime95, and it seemed stable after a couple of hours.
That seemed way too hot from what I have read, so I tried decreasing both the vcore and the FSB.
I played with multiple settings around 2.7ghz and a vcore increase of only about 0.0125. I turned down other voltages I had bumped a bit like my memory. I retested, and the temps haven't gone down at all. Maybe 1 degree at best with both Orthos and Prime95.
So now I am confused... I thought vcore was the greatest contributor to heat, and the difference between 0.0125 and 0.085 is pretty big right?
It also doesn't seem to matter if I run the fan on my Zalman cooler at the highest, or near lowest (once again like a 1 degree difference), or my case fans at lowest or highest.
Would buying a new cooler like the Thermalright ultra 120 make a huge difference here, or is it just my chip?
Maybe reapply the thermal paste and reseat the cooler? Its kind of hard to get in there without twisting it a bit. Arctic Silver's website suggests a thin line down the middle of IHS, but it hard not to spread it when seating the HS.
In addition, what about the NB fan included in the package? Right now I am running without it, but would that make a solid difference, by reducing the vcore needed?
Thoughts would be appreciated.... Its a bit frustrating because I read on other sites of a number of people hitting 3.1-3.2ghz with this chip on this board  on air cooling with much lower temps.
