what about asus gpu tweak? it actually works well if you close monitoring window

Go into the options of AB and enable voltage control.

You then need to edit the ini file to enable un-official OC mode (google for info). After all that is done you should be able to try pretty much anything.

Personally, I use Sapphire Trixx, I find it more stable at high clocks.

No.
The current crop of DCII 7970's don't allow for voltage control, I was just confirming if he was the same as mine, even changing that doesn't do anything for me.

GPU Tweak allowed me to move from 1112mv to 1123mv, so not worth it.
Seems the current crop of DCII 7970's have had their OC'ing hampered, rather ironically.

aka most limited 7970 out there

You have to wonder if these are different to the TOP editions other than clock speeds, if not would there be any other reason not to try a flash to a TOP, if only they had a protect safe BIOS it would be more tempting to try, quite abit of regret choosing this one for me.

gets 2025 on unigine thread. 1100/1450 with no extra voltage. Not that i need to oc while gaming. I recon good choice for the money

I had two ASUS 7970 DC2 TOP cards both were unlocked for voltages could go up to 1300mv.

Looks like to go beyond the 1.38v limit you need to hard-wire the GPU card into the motherboard using the pre-soldered connectors.

Not the latest batch, I'm guessing they've revised from the original problem ridden ones.

I'd kill for 1.2v, let alone 1.38v.
