OP the spec in 23 is awesome with a hardrive OS bundle 8 gb ram thermal paste and maybe a front case fan you will have an amazing system and a real bang for your buck

You weren't referring to the twin frozrIII at all, where in your post does it say this?
Me:
You have to flash the card to fully unlock the overclock settings, i know because i have one. (referring to my 6950 msi twin frozr 3)
You:
And I havent used one? and overclocked it without a "flash"
My reply to that:
If you had you would know that you could only bump it 50mhz more max on the core and
25mhz max on the mem clock without flashing it as that is what it is locked at.
Like i said clearly talking about the twin frozr 3 as i have from the start
And just in case you were somehow in your mind talking about the TwinFrozrIII needing extra voltage of some sort of "unlocking" to overclock?
Where did you get this from? your just making crap up as you go along
Listen and learn
you are limited to 900mhz / 1325mhz max unless you flash your card to unlock the bios settings.
So your quotes:
The overclocks listed in this section were achieved with the default fan and voltage settings as defined in the VGA BIOS
and this,
The overclocks of our card are 975 MHz core (14% overclock) and 1400 MHz Memory (8% overclock).
Is irrelavant as you clearly have no clue what your talking about.
The op certainly does not need to be listing to you as you don't even know what it is your talking about,
Your just getting things others have said and throwing them onto the thread trying to look cool in the process.
If the op listens to whatever garbage your inputting to this thread then i feel sorry for him.
I have give him some fantastic advice and would gladly give him more on the rest of his build but fear it would be plagued buy the likes of idiots like you
throwing stuff onto the thread thinking that they know it all.
Obviously not, as all the reviews achieved higher overclocks without any flashing or voltage increases.
Obviously do, as all you have said i have simply dismissed with proof from review websites
Clearly more than you, your so wrong with everything you say.
Professional Review site results, which because they prove you are a tool, you dont like.
Dont, because its wrong information.

Obviously your wrong again and are still persistent on being a buffoon.
I have the card and know exactly what i am talking about.
To go over 900mhz / 1325mhz the card will need its bios unlocked period.

Another example of you just throwing stuff on the thread without actually knowing for yourself.
Look at the bottom of you so called proof from review websites where it says
Clock Profiles
Do you see where it says overdrive limits
900/
1325
that means its limited to go no higher without modifying the bios
The card in the review you where so quick to post to had been flashed.
You should read what your about to post and stop claiming false facts.
Calm down.
Those may be the limits using the CCC Overdrive but other software is available which can go past those limits without modifying the BIOS.
Overclock using MSI Afterburner

You complete fool.
Thats the max settings using ATIs Overdrive in the driver
Using a better program got better results.

Exactly.
Clearly again your wrong no software will go past these limits until the bios has been modified.
Keep digging your whole so you can bury your head in it you twit.

To quote you from your review websites they had flash there card you sponge.
For even more performance, or as another method to get more performance, you could try the HD 6950 to HD 6970 mod which worked on our card.

Which is to unlock the shaders, which now cant be done because of the laser cut dies.
They didnt flash the card to overclock beyond your magical 50mhz limit.
You really are showing yourself up here word by word.

Read this:
Overclock using MSI Afterburner
Overclocked to 1008MHz on the core and 5800MHz on the memory using nothing but MSI Afterburner.
No BIOS flashing.
No unlocking.
No modified BIOS.
All done with software.
Here is a quote from gcaster who also has this card and tried the method you mentioned.
After buying my card on Tuesday in the mad sale I've sat down with it this evening to see how my luck fared with the overclocking. After spending ages tweaking afterburner I managed to unlock the CC/MC sliders for the new MSI card however it wasn't to be. After several failed attempts I came to realise that without modifying the BIOS anything over 900/1325 would cause a hardware failure within a few seconds.
And if it was to work im sure the op in all of this would love to try this and break his brand new card voiding his warranty.
Here are some quotes from those websites,
enabling registry hacks which Using the unofficial overclock method also can open a can of worms in terms of stability or weird issues.
Unofficial means unsupported -- we grant some extra tweak options to fool around with, but in no way, manner or fashion is it supported by Guru3D.com or MSI.
So asking questions about it in the forums .. is a no-go. Regardless
This will allow you to break away from limitations, at the cost of the possibility of running into stability issues as we are disabling AMD PowerPlay here.
Perhaps you should read further on:
Even after unlocking the card he couldn't overclock any further.
All this proves is that some cards overclock more than others regardless of whether or not they've been unlocked.
And I don't know why you're banging on about warranties.
If something did happen to your card while overclocking with software no one would be able to tell and you'd get an RMA.
If you stuffed up your card flashing the BIOS, or something happened while overclocking after you flashed the BIOS, you'd likely have an RMA refused as it would be obvious what you'd done.
I'm sorry to have caused such a debate!
Overclocking is something I'm not too bothered about at this stage,I don't feel confident enough to even begin trying it.
But from a few different people recommending the gear in post 23,I'm sure it must be good.I've almost got the money together,at the 600 mark atm,payday is too far away and i hate waiting.
I may have to raid the old ball'n chains savings jar and hope she doesn't notice (not really)

A good debate is fun sometimes
Whichever way you go with the components the main thing is to enjoy your new rig.
Have fun with it.
