This method was on http://www.ocdrift.com/2011/04/msi-r6950-twin-frozr-iii-peoc-unlocking-guide/

People have tried it and it didnt work for them, I will try and do this when I get my frozr card.

as with any unlocking attempts it's sad to say that it's not 100% effective (HQ claim it's about 95%) but as long as you back up your original BIOS there should be very little risk.

im in the market for a card to crossfire with a 6970, can the frozr 2 be unlocked

not to my knowledge

The plot thickens...maybe ScottiB can find out some more from the boffins at MSI.

i'm working on it

Thanks for backing me up a bit Helios, I'm sorry if you got cards that don't unlock. I'm trying to get an official response from the guys that wrote the guide. My current understanding is that whilst the shader unlock does not work, due to issues beyond our control, the BIOS should still bypass AMD's artificial clock speed/power limits. This should make the card one of, if not the, most overclockable 6950s currently available.

You may be right about the laser cutting, I cannot think of any other explanation.

Needless to say that I did not intentionally mislead anybody. I merely answered a question to the best of my knowledge based on information that was at the time I received it, and to my knowledge still was, totally accurate.

For now I can offer those of you who bought the card since the announcement a free copy of Lara Croft: Guardian of light & Stalker: Call of Pripyat (trust me your invoice number & address details)

again, I'm sorry guys, the info was accurate when the cards were first released, which wasnt all that long ago. unfortunately now it seems, along with every other 6950, it's been hit by the AMD suckerpunch
