Hi all,
One mining rig with 3x5870 working well with no problems.
Today I finished with the second. Afterburner works just fine when the unofficial overclockingmode is NOT enabled. And with this I mean the text in the .cfg gile. So normal overclockin works fine. When I add the:
EnableUnofficialOverclocking = 1 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 AccessibilityCheckingPeriod = 0
Afterburner won't allow overclocking. Trixx doesn't work either. Re-installed windows, drivers, AB and Trixx. Nothing helps.
Computer: Gigabyte 990FXA-UD3 2x Asus 5870 Voltage Tweak Edition AMD Phenom X4 955 Vista 64bit 4GB DDR3
Catalyst 12.3 Driver version 7.14.10.0894 AB 2.1.0
(not a dedicated rig and let's try to make it work with just two cards)
I would offer a bounty but already fucked up with my wallet.dat while installing Windows... So those bounties are in Bitcoin heaven now (4BTC)

I am using Trixx as afterburner refused to work correctly for me. It was saying something about an error when booting. I was having the same issue and two things that I figured out are: 1. Your video out has to come from the graphics card. I was trying to use onboard graphics from my 2500k, but it refused to show the settings for the cards in Catalyst and Trixx. 2. I couldn't get Trixx to show any information before I started Catalyst. I also had to change some of the settings. I have check marks on: Show effective memory clocks, set clocks on change, save fan settings with profile, and disable ULPS. This may also help you as well: http://www.overclock.net/t/667144/crossfire-disabling-ulps

Overclocking with MSI afterburner is really just a request sent to the GPU and the GPU says yes or no. I had this same problem and ended up going to a beta version of afterburner. Later i switched to CGMINER. Try unsettling sync video cards. and see if just one shows the correct OC. Also what does GPU-Z say the clocks are?

I tried unsync, doesn't work. I have tried everything that you are going to suggest GPU-Z shows the right information. 850/1200 without any changes and the same clocks that AB shows when I OC. This is really weird. Will have to give CGMiner a try.

you probably already tried this but have you tired one GPU and not two? One of my boxes ended up failing when i tried to OC it b/c of a faulty GPU. AB would send a request before i tried to changing anything in AB, just when i launched AB and that GPU said "Nope" and dropped all the sliders to 0 even when gpuz shows accurate measurements.

I use CGMiner and I can only get the memory on my 6870s right now to 800. I think that it is simply a settings issue somewhere though.

I read somewhere that 6xxxs cards can only go 500mhz or something like that below the core clock. might be wrong but i cannot go much past 500 below my core with my 6950s

Found the solution. Switched from CCC 12.3 to 12.1.

I'd like to turn the memory down as they're running a little warmer than I'd like inside the case. I had to add an extra fan on one core of my 6870x2 to keep it from throttling at 85*. I tried turning it down in Trixx, but it won't save.

I can verify that 12.3 causes 0 core 0 memory bug in trixx. Had to downgrade. I initially picked 11.11 as downgrade, forgot about the CPU bug, upgraded to 12.1.

Installing the .dll, is this safe, not a rootkit? Here, install TDL.dll to you win32 directory it will fix you buggy gpu problem. Just sayin..
