Question about overclocking AMD 5000+ Black Edition

So I'm not really trying to do a crazy overclock the AMD 5000+. I'm just trying to increase the multiplier (I read on another site that it can easily run 14x/15x multipliers with no voltage changes). So I went ahead an increased the multiplier (stock = 13x) to 14x. Prime95 stable for hours. Increased it to 15x. Prime95 stable for hours. Then I just noticed as I was opening up CPUZ, that the multiplier detected by CPUZ is still 13x. I looked at Vista system properties and saw that the CPU is rated at 2.6GHz (15x multiplier would make the CPU = 3.0GHz).

BUT when I reboot, I see that the bios is detecting that the CPU speed is 3.0GHz and when I go into the bios, I see that the multiplier is still set to 15x.

Am I not doing something right? I'm using an MSI P9N SLI Platinum board with the latest bios.

Thanks!
