black editions have unlocked multiplyers. so can be overclocked. that cpu can go to 4.5 quite easily but the problem is your overclocking a less than stellar cpu... even at 4.5 the single threaded perfomance is only just better than the dual core athlon. it also seems the whole range has issues with crossfire when you get up to the 6870 and above/ and sli with anything stronger than the gtx 460... * +

All the FX are unlocked anyway. The BE moniker is meaningless on the FX series * +
