Don't bother about the flashing...considering you can get a reference 6970 for just around £240 if you look around. But personally I would just grab that Sapphire 6950 2GB...the difference in speed between the 6950 2GB and 6970 2GB is like only 3%; it would be much better to grab the 6950 2GB with a custom cooler to keep it nice and cool and quiet, rather that the card with that piece of poo reference cooler and using that through the summer.
If noticed how they have gone up in price, they are almost around the same price as the 6970 now. I said the same thing about the xfx5870, 2 weeks ago it was £149, now its £199
What voltage is your running? I unlocked my shaders only and overclocked it to 6970 settings, 880/1375. What do i want the voltage set at?
Im glad cause i have 2 of these bad boys modded to 6970 shadersand 6970 speeds with no voltage bump

That's what happens when they have stopped being made, and supply getting low. Price of GTX480 has gone up as well.
Nothing, its exactly what i have running mine 880/1375 default voltage 1.100v
though i sometimes if required run 980/1400 Xfire @ 1.225v
Cheers, i wernt sure if i was suppose to bump up the volts to 1.175 or not as thats what i read the 6970 runs at.
