Yes Cathar, my SK-7 and SFII managed my current overclock PRIME95 stable, so I was surprised that watercooling hasn't in fact increased my OC.

Wait - so the old temps were on the NF7-S and the new temps on the DFI?
Regardless, more air-flow around the socket area will lower the reported temperatures for either board since both have the in-socket thermistor.
Re: overclock. You're running at 11x235. How are you attempting to overclock further?
Have you tried 13 x 200, and then start bumping up the FSB from there?
235FSB is fairly high for the NF2 boards, and in my experience, the higher the FSB, the lower the peak overclock attainable out of the CPU, as in the FSB tends to place a bit of an upper limit on how far the CPU can be pushed if the FSB is too high.
Drop the FSB and raise the multiplier, and then see how it goes. If you can't because you have a locked CPU (perhaps a locked XP2500+ ??) then I'm afraid that you may be bmping into the limit of the FSB of the board/memory when coupled with the CPU's speed.
