The ESR of 18mOhms is too high. The stock Nichicon HM or Rubycon MBZ 6.3V 3300uF caps got about 10-13mOhms of ESR.

Unfortunately only Panasonic is available here, what is the worst outcome if I recap with Panasonic FR?

You can use Panasonic FR without any issue, nothing will happen, I've used them to recap 50+ boards.
On the CPU VRM there are multiple caps in parallel anyway, so effective ESR will be much lower. As long as the caps don't heat up excessively (which they surely won't) and you won't notice any instability, you are good.

2 x PLCC-68 / 4 x PGA132 / 5 x Skt 3 / 1 x Skt 4 / 9 x Skt 7 / 12 x SS7 / 1 x Skt 8 / 14 x Slot 1 / 6 x Slot A
5 x Skt 370 / 8 x Skt A / 2 x Skt 478 / 2 x Skt 754 / 3 x Skt 939 / 7 x LGA775 / 1 x LGA1155

I order my capacitors most at Mouser. Its not cheap though.

Back from vacation, more to come soonish.. So long:

The board says, you have clocked too far. ^^ I guess you managed to start somewhere at >250-260MHz FSB, right?

Seeing the postscreen, I see my typo. D42 --> B42
At least it is the bug fixed version. I just saw, the non deluxe 2.0 BIOS version still has a (tiny) bug in the code. I need to fix that someday.
