Maybe try latest bios for the board. If you are going for pure performance measurements you should be disabling these features while overclocking to afford more clock cycles to your tests anyway. If you are testing for maximum 24/7 overclock stability, leave enabled and stay under the ht/fsb that causes problems and test from there.
I'm not familiar with the motherboard and its voltages but maybe there is a voltage that when raised allows for higher clocks without the usb/ethernet drop out.
