http://downloads.guru3d.com/Afterburner-2.1.0-Beta-6-download-2604.html

The link says beta 6 but its too beta 7.

They have fixed the fan profile not switching to user defined properly.

Also note this section

'To enable unofficial overclocking in this version it is necessary to:

Set UnofficialOverclockingEULA field to the following text: I confirm that I am aware of unofficial overclocking limitations and fully understand that MSI will not provide me any support on it
Set UnofficialOverclockingMode to 1 to keep PowerPlay active (may not work on old ASICs), 2 to traditionally disable PowerPlay or to 0 to temporary disable unofficial overclocking path'

Enjoy

Thanks for the heads up.

Changed way of unlocking unofficial overclocking on AMD graphics cards to make overclocking newbies think harder before enabling this functionality blindly and coming to support forums with fake bugreports

Sounds like a great update for AMD cards.

i adviced Unwinder to add this before.

I've just installed the beta, modified the MSIAfterburner.cfg with the following;

Code:

[ATIADLHAL]
EnableUnofficialOverclocking	= 1
AccessibilityCheckingPeriod	= 0
UnofficialOverclockingEULA      = I confirm that I am aware of unofficial overclocking limitations and fully understand that MSI will not provide me any support on it
UnofficialOverclockingMode      = 1

Yet that maximum remains at 840Mhz on my 6950 (unlocked shaders)

You put an I instead of a 1?

edit - I see its just the EULA sentence...so doesn't need to be a 0 or 1?

what exactly has this fixed ?

gropingmantis · 1 Feb 2011 at 21:32

On start-up the fan always went to 50% rather than my custom profile and had to go into afterburner to turn custom profile off and on again to make it work.

GJ02 · 1 Feb 2011 at 21:34

strange, cant say its ever happened to me

gropingmantis · 1 Feb 2011 at 21:35

Was getting annoying but problem fixed now yay.

Ezyryder · 1 Feb 2011 at 21:51

Works a treat. Thanks!

This works for me on 6950>70, I don't know if the order has anything to do with it. Did the previous beta 6 afterburner work for you?

MikeHiow · 2 Feb 2011 at 00:40

I'm really confused. I've tried everything, including completely removing everything and reinstalling, but I still cannot get past 840.

Is it possible that there is some restriction on my card?

MikeHiow · 2 Feb 2011 at 00:50

I'm convinced it isn't reading the config file in C:\Program Files (x86)\MSI Afterburner.

I set Voltage options in config to 1 and nothing. I set the in Afterburner, restart it and sure as anything, I have voltage control.

Set Voltage options to 0 in config, restart Afterburner and Voltage adjustment is still there.

Yeah I hated that too

MikeHiow · 2 Feb 2011 at 01:04

Finally got it - I think my text editor (Komodo Edit) uses a character set that Afterburner does not like. Reinstalled and used notepad to modify it and not it works great. Let the fun begin

Yeah same problem here. Also with a GTX 560 it seems I cannot unlink the core clock and the shader clock, any ideas? The card is the Gigabyte OC.

GJ02 · 2 Feb 2011 at 06:48

From what I was told, the core and shader on NV cards cannot be unlocked/unlinked
