Some cards have switch and 2 BIOS chips. There is no way that you can damage your card because you can always switch to 2nd BIOS if something goes wrong with the 1st one. Wink

You can still undervolt it with afterburner right? Cause most people usually don't wanna flash their GPU unless they are having like 100 of them... flashing GPU will void the warranty...

Some 7950's you can and some you cannot. Flashing the BIOS with the vendors own BIOS does not void the warranty as they supply both the BIOS and the tools to do it with, check out the vendors download sites.

With a  dual BIOS like the 7950 if a mistake is made in flashing it then you can flip to the working BIOS and then flash it back to the original.

I don't think vendor's bios is undervolted right?

Stock vendors F43 BIOS runs at a lower voltage than the later BIOS, undervolted and run cooler.

Do you know how much they undervolted? I found some online bios which is 0.963v..

They are floating voltage but run at around 1.05v when running scrypt at I19 delivering a steady 640Kh/s, note the VRM temps.

Its good but the undervolt is not enough, I prefer 0.963v or 1 volt....

For you perhaps but for me it is enough, dropping to a lower voltage on my rig decreases stability and I lose more coins from downtime than I do from achieving the extra 1.5 watt drop at the wall that I could get at 0.963v.

I am not in competition with you to get a lower voltage I am in competition with my rig to get more hash per watt.  Grin

It depends on how much you are planing to overclock, you can flash your voltage to be the lowest possible...
