Since it is a Black Edition, simply start increasing the CPU's clock multiplier in BIOS. Run an hour of Prime95 between increases and watch the temps. When Prime95 causes a crash or some other indication of instability happens, you can either back off and call it good... or increase the vCore a tiny bit to see if it helps stabilize the OC.

For more in-depth OC'ing methods, check out some of the many guides online.
