Topic Title: 5000 X2 Black Edition with locked multiplier? Topic Summary: Making changes to the multiplier in BIOS seems to have no effect Created On: 01/04/2009 05:34 AM Status:

Accrding to CPU-Z my processor is the X2 5000+ Black Edition. The processor information in the AMI BIOS (multiplier up to 25x) would validate this.
When I increase the multiplier however, it remains at 13x in CPU-Z and the clock is unaffected there and in windows system.
Does that mean I have a Black edition with locked multiplier, or am I missing something here?
There's a lot of confusion on the Black Editions being locked or not. I think the X2 5000+ (EE) Black Edition and the X4 9600/9850 are not locked, and the 6400+ is locked.
