Can't say .. what you've done is right so far.. right down to the 1150mV option.Originally Posted by Lokster1 
Razor, I got my voltage slider to finally unlock after re-installing afterburner a few times, still messing with voltage and clock speed to try and get something stable. Question for you though, you say you can increase the Memory voltage and Aux voltage in your original post, I do this and then click apply but it doesn't save the changes? The core voltage changes fine but the other two do not. As long as my temps stay down is it safe to keep increasing my voltage? I only have it up to 1165 mV atm.
FYI, I am forcing constant voltage and have my Graphics processor type set to 1150 mV (not sure what this is)

Try to enable voltage changes and the unofficial EULA for the MSI AB. Try to follow my 1st post on AB-- the ELUA's threre.. also get on the latest beta.. has better support for the 69xx cards.. inclung powertune! Do post back.Try to read the current VDDC from some other software.. maybe GPU-z??
And make sure that your profile is not autoswitching .. ( last page under AB settings) .

Well, I DID mention that W1zzard's mod may NOT work for most BIOSes pertaining to the 6950s. It's right up there in my 1st post..Originally Posted by Power22 

I followed this guide http://www.techpowerup.com/articles/overclocking/vidcard/159 from w1zzard. If i do that my computer won't boot and i've to use the switch I said before. I hope you can help me out!
Thanks in advance!

If the MSI BIOS didn't work for you, one of two happened:
1. Your shaders are BAD ( IF they were laser cut then the card would still boot)
2. You have a new revision ( in which case you're flat out of luck, it being a custom PCB )
Try to go back to factory settings / clocks/ BIOS and then take it from there ( OC ? ) . You'll probably end up with equally tangible benefits as the card surely clocks better before unlocking.

I have this exact issue. Have not yet attempted unlocking, just trying to OC right now and my memory doesn't seem to OC at all on stock voltage.
FWIW I had no issues getting core voltage adjustment working here, just got card on Thursday, installed drivers + latest AB beta and it worked fine.
If anyone's resolved this I'd love to know how. Do we need to enable unnoficial OCing in AB to get memory/auxiliary voltage adjustment?
Great thread btw thanks to all who've shared info here.
edit: all voltage controls work after some more fiddling. I derped and didn't realize you could only go in 10mv steps on the memory and aux voltages.

I'm sticking to + 10mV for the aux and +20 on the VMem ( 10 in the summers) cause this integrated metal plate is freakish. It's spreading the VRM heat to the mem modules so I'm simply playing it safe.




















i cannot open ccc and other program that push up frequency on max value. i also format all system 'cause i though that was a conflict with last beta driver (12.3rc) but after re-install win7 and whql official drivers, driver restart to crash lot of time. i reflash also original bios but problem persist. someone can help me if is possible to understand if card is really freeze or not? thank you all
maybe lot vcore or vmem, maybe lot of overclock. all the time i was on 1.3v 970mhz/1460mhz with temp arounf 71c°. now is starting to crash! if you have some idea... let me know also if i know the end.
