5850 OC. MSI afterburner won't pass 775 core 1125 mem?

[D007]

I remember using MSI not to long ago and I could take the core to 1000 and the mem to 1200. now when I redownloaded it, it seems to have locked me into only being able to hit 775/1125. I've been looking in the settings to see if I missed something but I can't see anything that would unlock higher numbers.
Any ideas? Thanks again.

EDIT: A little research and I see that msi v 1.4 allows for bypassing those limits or I can flash bios.. I think I'll go to the 1.4 but I wonder if flashing the bios would be more stable?
Also looks like v 2.2 beta won't allow for bypassing the clock specs with the Enableunofficialoverclocking option, it doesn't exist.. Guess it's V 1.5 or 1.4 from the look of it I have to use?

you will have to go to your afterburner folder and edit the config file, enable unofficial overclocking and voltage tuning stuff.

Make sure to enable unofficial overclocking (change 0 to 1) and add this as well:

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

Yea thanks guys, looking nice, 950 core 1050 mem @1.25 v. Trying 1000 core or 1100 mem is a fail at this voltage. Likely need 1.3 v at least to hit 1000 core but the temps are getting a bit uncomfortable, even with aftermarket cooling. Passing 70c.
I'm happy with this increase, very much so.
I'm using version 1.5 of MSI afterburner. Would a later version be better? I know 2.2 beta doesn't have that option to enable in the cfg.
Still curious though if flashing the bios would make it more stable or allow for better performance/higer oc's.

EDIT: ahh i see what you mean now Kursah.. That's an odd thing to do, copy and paste that text line.. I'll try it but reverting to 1.5 seems to have worked.. idk.. I guess it's safer to go with the new version and add that line. I'll try that.. But I still don't see the option for enableunofficialoverclocking on the new 2.2 beta.. I see the EULA option though.
Yep adding that line in the new 2.2 beta allowed me to overvolt and oc properly.
