CPU Multiplier Locked in BIOS?

Okay,

So i have an AMD Phenom 9850 BE plugged into an MSI K9N SLI with the latest BIOS update. When i enter the BIOS and then the frequency settings it shows my multiplier at 5x but it wont give me the option to alter it, nor can i alter the core frequency's. Im able to alter the FSB etc, its just these two (ironically the most important) that are locked despite it being the Black Edition. Any help is welcome and i know its a Black Edition.

Cheers

    Altering the FSB is a important part and does speed things up considerably.
