I've had a new idea Karma, try placing those two dll files inside the msi afterburner folder and trying it again.

Using 12.4 as 12.6 was too unstable for me last time I tried it.
Shall try it later on and let you know

I know the older drivers have issues with it. Maybe try the 12.7 beta like im using, just to rule out all possibilities.

I had crashing issues with 12.7 beta too, I'll wait off until 12.8 launches in the next week or so, Trixx will suffice for now.
What graphics card have you got?

I did this an voltage does not unlock. I have 7850 in crossfire.
edit - also why is it using my overclocked settings from Trixx as default? This method is bugged I'm afraid.

Apparently for crossfire this method requires a different approach according to the guide i found. Heres the xfire method.
AB xcl method above will only unlock the Overdrive limits for the active card. If you have other cards in a crossfire, technically you will have to disable crossfire and plug a monitor into each card and run the xcl unlock process to unlock each card. This can be quite the hassle. Luckily there's an easier way.
Anyways, I extracted the powerplay tables allowing one to edit and not do the song and dance.
*Open notepad, copy paste this in there save it as a *.reg file or rename .reg then merge that into your reg. Edit the "0000" for each card you have. Simply paste/create the key below and label each corresponding key 0000/0001/002/etc for as many entries or cards as you have in the registry. Also with this key, you don't have to create the shortcut sd with Part 1.

**If for some reason it's not working for you, you can simply open up your registry, navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E968. Easy way is Local, System, CurrentControlSet, Control, Class, then scroll down to "4D36E9" set then hit the "68" at the end. Inside you find "0000" files, and each folder represents a physical card per slot. So if you moved card 1 that was in slot 1, into slot 4, that will create a new folder. Try not to move cards around too much because it will create a lot of folders, making it confusing. Also, if you followed my manual uninstall method, your registry should be cleaned up nicely.
Ok, now scroll down to the 4D36E968 folder and extract that folder to some place. Open up some place, and edit the reg file. Basically you just delete everything except the table and header from above. And then simply create more entries as instructed above.
BTW these guides come from here, so i can confirm they do work.

A few questions I did get it to work but when you say unlocking voltage do you mean just I afterburner? Because I can adjust it in there but there is no voltage control in CCC, also I have to have overdrive checked or I get stock clocks.

When you download afterburner and have a 7970 card its possible to unlock voltage control full stop. You can do it before enabling unofficial overclocking.
Yes there is no voltage control in ccc. CCC overdrive isnt needed, however you're using it just via afterburner as this is the official way of overclocking and hence no lines of corruption when changing profile. Idle clocks are also sorted.
You should be able to use voltage in afterburner and set clocks without unlocking overdrive if done correctly.
from what i read about this issue its ati stopped adding something after 12.2 which i think is the file you trying to add.
to save all the trouble maybe try trixx 4.3.0 and just different whql certified ati drivers. i found that ati 12.6 and trixx work perfectly fine together
no editing just install and use with full function

Afterburner is 10 times better than trixx though. I honestly can't understand why non crossfire 7xxx users can't get this working. It just works first time everytime for me providing you place those missing files in the right location.

thanks but no thanks, it's far too much hassle. I'll go back to using TRIXX.
Yeah that down look like a lot of effort i guess.
Oh well it was as simple as adding /xcl to to the shortcut and restarting for me. Like a boss.
I had to reinstall windows today and i can now confirm how easy it is to do this.
1. Install the ATI 12.8 drivers. http://forums.guru3d.com/showthread.php?t=367183
2. Install the latest version of afterburner.
3. Download and run and install this file. http://www.sendspace.com/file/r7jys0
4. Right click afterburner desktop shortcut.
5. Select properties and add /xcl to the target box. It should then look like this. "C:\Program Files (x86)\MSI Afterburner\MSIAfterburner.exe" /xcl
6.Click apply and run the shortcut. It will say ccc limits increased.
7. Delete /xcl, apply, and restart your pc.
8. You can now use the official overclock method without those crappy ccc limits.
9. Go into afterburner settings and unlock voltage control/monitoring.
I have re-installed windows and tested this works A-ok for AMD 7xxx single card users.

Not officially but they will be soon id imagine.
You're using the unofficial overclock method, which is fine but you will find flicker when you change between overclock profiles and you will also find that once you apply an overclock profile your cards will not clock down until you run a 3d application.

So what does that file you download actually do?
It places two dll files in a windows folder which enables you to use AMD's official overclocking method while increasing the default clock limits in afterburner/catalyst control center.
