he's already stated AB doesn't work for him.

Does not work with the 6970 Bios installed tho..... It was the same for me, works fine with the 6950 shader unlock Bios on mine now though.

CCC should do it automatically if you set it in the overdrive section(whatever its called now)? is it not doing this for you?

i'm on my laptop so it just show powerplay settings

I could decrease the clocks with CCC, but when I rebooted they went back to default.
I was unable to find some kind of locker with the option "Apply this settings at startup" or something like that.

strange, just hitting apply after making adjustments in OD "should" keep them persistent.

Thats because whatever you set in CCC providing you click the "apply" button should always be set and by default CCC starts up automatically.

I think you guys are gonna love me for this... I've found something that pretty much fixes a lot of BSODs when trying to OC the 6950 in Crossfire using MSI AB...

MSI AB crashes to BSOD when you hit apply (after tweaking the clocks or whatnot...) whatever the settings you put in... That is because one card is shut down (or idle...) You need to disable ULPS:
