This is a known issue in the S5000VSA, before BIOS update 84 they do not support E54xx and E52xx, those two families are high TDP CPUs and the VSA will not run them at speed. They will post and boot but at lower clock speeds.

There is some documentation on this issue on the Intel website if you look in the Downloads page for the S5000VSA there are two ways to update the BIOS one is with a USB stick the other is within Windows and both are a pain. Also your board has to be at least a certain revision to even apply the update the same page has that info.quads

The low-power 2.5ghz L-series chips still have plenty of grunt I ran them for a while on my VSA. Plus, the 50w TDP helps keep temps down inside the case.
