ATIflash/bios,Do not be in some folder

you must swap the 2 fill, in addition to the org / or overwrite them
if the files are in a folder, you can not flash

I won't flash the bios. I can just use Afterburner to go past 1.40v with AB 2.1 beta 4 .
I am going to wait till I get my 980x/990x though. Hopefully tomorrow I will have it and in by Sunday.

It is not exactly AB but a tool used for with AB that lets you change the voltage limit. It has been out for awhile.

UNLOCK msi afterburner,but 1.525v is max on air here rum temp 22c max load temp 74c

1.45v bios is ok,whit air cooling

[CobraXP]

It was 14c in my room this morning. I got to 1080/1190 with room at 18c and 1.35v before. I will give it a shot this weekend IF I get my new 980x/990x.

[Barr3l Rid3r]

can you guys post a link for this unlocker utility? the official link was removed.

[CobraXP]

I don't have a link. I grabbed it before it was removed. There might be a link by someone else in that thread. I don't want to upset anyone or get someone in trouble but it is out there. The is no "official link" and it is not an official tool for AB or anything having to do with AB's creator or MSI.

[Martin.v.r]

use the bios

[Barr3l Rid3r]

i got all i need, just missing patience and colder temps.

[CobraXP]

use the bios

I would be easier to raise the voltage instead of lowing the voltage right? I have done a few cards flashing them but only reason was couldn't change the voltage and needed a diff bios. I would rather not if I don't need to for warranty reasons.
