    Hey guys, I've been trying to undervolt my 6970m through RBE. It seems that none of my values seem to stick.I set custom values for everything, but it only seems to cycle between vddc values of 0.9 and 1.0. OCCASIONALLY i see one of my custom values, such as 0.92, but its very brief before it either upvolts or downvolts. Why is this happening? Powerplay is disabled.

    If I understand this right you tried to set the voltage to .92 V right? If you did that's the reason they don't look right, you can only set the voltages at .05 V increments. So either try .90, .95, or 1.00 V and see if it works. If I understood correctly by all means clarify it for me and we'll see if someone on here can help you get it working right. :D

    EDIT:
    got it, you're right, it is only by .5 increments locked by hardware at 0.90V. Strange that it showed 0.92 V before though. Anyyyyyyyyway, can't run max clocks at .9v, i can run at 580/900. I'm fairly certain i can get 680/900 at .95v though.

    Can you get it to run 0.95v @ 680 on battery?
