You need to pump the voltage up with Afterburner (or I guess any other program that lets you do it) to get it to the 950/1450. I have my card running at 1300mV.

Erm, both screenshots show a 2048MB GPU.

What voltage are you running the GPU at?

Pretty sure the 40nm GPUs are safe up to 1.4v... But I think I'm good here, the temperatures seem fine and it's running stable (I.E: No artifacting or crashing). It idles at 51c, and gets up to 81c on full load. Then the Fans kick in at 80c and keep it steady. Really only reason I would want to...

Sounds to me like they are threatening to have a feature in the card that kills itself on a bios flash? Idk, sounds stupid.

I may have went a little far... lmao. 950/1450 @ 1.3v I wouldn't say it gets too hot though, but I have it set to go to 58% fans when it hits 80c. I actually tried to get it to 1000, but 950 seems to be my limit. Any higher and the PC crashes with that brown/black line screen.

Well that sucks... but as I said -> just flash back and send in. :D Hopefully I didn't get the "new revision" as I just purchased my card Wednesday. Though it is running fine so far, with 6970 bios (I used the XFX Bios, not the one in first page) and overclocks.

Are you sure? Can you give me a link? http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=187571 That thread makes me think otherwise. But it doesn't really matter anyway because of the dual bios, just boot with original bios and flash first bios back to 6950 bios... then if there IS any...

You need a 2GB Model to unlock. @OP: Thanks W1zzard for this. I just picked up an XFX 6950 and it unlocked just fine. Overclocked it to 950/1450 as well, but can't seem to push it passed that. http://img13.imageshack.us/img13/8379/6950ocd.gif
