You can overclock it much further using the bios. You say your processor is a Black Edition yes? You should be able to clock it way further by using the multiplier. Assuming you know about stress testing, once you find the maximum stable multi, you up the fsb +1 and stress it until you find the maximum possible clock. G skill isn't the best brand around so if you experience some instability, you can underclock it. Also trying to keep the HT as close to default speed as possible helps with stability (default should be 800 or 1000mhz, although that option may be locked).

Best of Luck to you!
