So this processor is getting old and I was hoping to squeeze just a little more out of it before I get a new one.

[strike]At first I was sure that this processor is not overclockable since It is not the unlocked, Black Edition.
Then, after spending some time on these forums, I've learned that a locked version doesn't necessarily mean that the processor can't be overclocked.[/strike]
[strike]
So I've decided to settle the record straight once and for all and ask the community>[/strike]
[strike]Is the AMD Phenom II X4 965 overclockable?[/strike]
If it is, has someone had actual experience with this processor and what kind of settings would you recommend in the overclocking?

Thanks,
Opel65

I might have been misinformed by the salesman who might not have had the proper knowledge then. Only reason I still believed it because it doesnt say BE in any software like CPUZ and such. And now if I google locked 965, there realy seems to be only a BE version.
Mr. Gam3r01, I salute you.
Well then, Any advice on the BE processor overclocking settings?

My MOBO: ASRock M3A770DE
Not sure if this one does
