I have the Asus gtx 560 (non TI) cards (SLI) and want to try a little more OC'g, but I can't unlock the voltage in MSI Afterburner. I've checked the box in the settings, but no go. Are these cards not supported? Can anyone enlighten me.

Thanks...Al

Have you got the newest MSi after burner? I was using 155 (best for my 5850) but when I got my 560TI It would not unlock voltage.

You must Also do this.

Another thing this pciture does not show is that closer to the top you have: Unlockvoltagecontrol and unlockvoltagemonitoring. PLEASE PUT THOSE AT 1 AS WELL!

Thanks because the other method did not work for me. I have the latest download from MSI site.

Just to make sure I am doing it correctly. I open the .config file in word and make the changes and save, but they offer 2 methods to save the file as, so which one do I use?

Thanks...Al

I made the changes, rebooted and no go. I guess it won't work for the regular 560 cards. I know I can get more voltage out of it, too, because the Asus gpu tweaker allows me to push the voltages to 1.087 without issues, but won't allow me to go past 950mhz. MSI keeps me at 1.037. Oh well thanks for the assistance though.

Try EVGA precision or Nvidia Inspector programs
