I have a MSI R7970 Lightning (Boosted Edition) and although I can increase the vCore and memory voltage in Afterburner it doesn't seem to be doing anything. I have used GPU-z and HWmonitor to monitor the voltage but it never goes over 1.256V which is the stock voltage. Is there something i'm missing?
 
Does the voltage increase show in afterburner monitor? Gpuz etc...won't read above stock voltage on the lightnings, I tested this with the v check points :)

Sorted, always the simple things lol. Added the GPU voltage to the monitor and it shows the increased voltage :)
 
Have you got your replacement card yet? Have they told you which one your getting.

No problem with my card, the motherboard BIOS was playing up for some reason. After I reset it, all has been well which is why I started overclocking the card. Stock cooler works very well, not gone over 65 deg C during benchmark runs and thats with the vCore and memory voltages increased.
