Overclocking an EVGA GTX570 012-P3-1571-KR

post #1 of 9
Thread Starter 
Hey guys, I've overclocked a couple of GTX460s in the past, but I just picked up this GTX570 and I can't get a very good OC out of it. I got it up to 835MHz stable (at 65C under load), but one thing that I think is holding me back is the voltage. I'm trying to OC with MSI Afterburner and I have the voltage unlocked (it works for my 460s), but I can't adjust the voltage on the 570. Is there any way to go about adjusting this, or am I just stuck with the stock voltage? Thanks for the help!

Have you enabled unofficial overclocking?

Wouldn't this require a bios unlock as well? I've tried this mod for MSI Afterburner where you edit the command line for "unofficial overclcoking" and it never did anything different for my 580.... Maybe you have some good input on this...I'd be interested as well.

I have no idea how to do this. If you could point me toward somewhere I could learn, I'd be willing to give it a go!

Go to the directory where you installed MSI Afterburner (usually C:\Program Files(X86)\MSI Afterburner\MSIAfterburner.CFG) and open up the file called MSIAfterburner.CFG. Scroll all the way down to the bottom and look for
[ATIADLHAL]
UnofficialOverclockingEULA =
UnofficialOverclockingMode = 0

Change the values of the two lines to

UnofficialOverclockingEULA = I confirm that I am aware of unofficial overclocking limitations and fully understand that MSI will not provide me any support on it
UnofficialOverclockingMode = 1

I am sorry that I did not reply earlier. I had a terrible headache so I took a nap. Also make sure you are using a beta version of MSI Afterburner. Here is a link to a good club that died a while ago. Still holds lots of information and I'm sure the owner and others will respond to any questions.

Right on, I'll try this when I get home! Also, where can I get a beta version of Afterburner (I'm currently running v2.2 IIRC)?
