This note is at the bottom of the first blog page right before the comments. No comment about the overall stability of the system when at higher speeds, however. For certain, this would take some very steady hands... Nonetheless, that support for this CPU is built into the BIOS may indicate some future intentions of ASUS.

Not taking anything away from this mod or the modder, though I think if there was some way to get 1.2Ghz stable out of this mod then I'm VERY interested. Other than that, I hope this paves the way for other people to try and squeeze better CPUs in there!
