    Try disabling and then re-enabling PowerPlay in CCC.

    Weird. When I had Clevo 6970M in my laptop, I could set the voltage to my liking in RBE. I don't think 6990M and 6970M vBIOSes would differ that much.

    Try 1.15V instead of 1.20V.

    You could also try to force flash the vBIOS after editing it with RBE. Just make sure that You have a bootable USB stick with atiflash and stock vBIOS on it, in case something goes wrong.

    I tried and the you could not change the voltage on my 170HM with the 6990M it was locked. The 580M you could.
