Hi everybody,

I have been mining on windows 7 with a 6970 and a 5970 on my desktop machine, and i reinstalled windows from scratch yesterday and now i can't get afterburner to work properly.

I underclock my memory to 150 MHz with afterburner, using

UnofficialOverclockingEULA   = I confirm that I am aware of unofficial overclocking limitations and fully understand that MSI will not provide me any support on it
UnofficialOverclockingMode   = 2

I run catalyst 12.3 and afterburner 2.1.0, as before the reinstall of windows.

But now when i start afterburner it looks like this:

And the sliders for over/underclocking doesn't seem to work.

Does anyone know what the problem is?

Thank you for your time!

See this post here.

Download the file, drop the DLL in the MSI AB folder, and you're good to go.

I tried to DL it from another place, but it was like a 5MB download, and I didn't dare trust it, even after multiple virus scans. The real file should be like 300kb.

Thanks for trying, after installing 12.1 i was able to locate the file (352 kB) and save it.

I then uninstalled all amd software, and then installed catalyst 12.6, and now it works with AF 2.1.0!!!

I'm gonna try 2.2.3 and se if that works to. Could not have done it without your help, thanks again.

AF 2.2.3  works, but, after closing and reopening, the sliders are still at the same position (cannot lower memory voltage more than before).

I guess I'll stick with 2.1.0 for now.

On 2.2.3, delete the 2 files in the Profiles folder inside the MSI AB program folder. Next time you open it, it'll ask you to reboot your PC to determine default values, which you'll have to say no to every time, but you'll be able to set your clocks to whatever you want.

On my 7970, I open AB, press NO I don't want to reboot, and slide mem bar down to 750. Close and reopen AB, NO I don't want to reboot, slide mem bar down to 375. Close and reopen AB for a third time, NO I don't want to reboot, and then I'm able to slide my mem bar down to whatever I want (I like 325).

Oh I see, I wonder if it's worth the extra clicks to have 2.2.3...
