Hi everyone, i currently own a 7950 IceQ Turbo, im thinking of getting flashing the bios to the boast clock bios, which gives me 25MHZ extra speed over stock, but will it void my warranty?

I would guess flashing bios would void your warranty... Why not just overclock using msi afterburner, 25mhz will not be at all noticeable.

It will in principle but then again, so will overclocking. If you put the original BIOS back in, they won't know you've ever flashed it, though.
