    Anyone have any info on how to add a small voltage mod and possibly a overclock on a 7970m on my xfire cards. I've done the bat file hack to enable overdrive but I'm looking to add a small voltage increase.

    Any contributions are greatly appreciated.

    Have you done the -XCL command with MSI afterburner and then used the right overclocking program version with trixx or asus smart doctor?

    No, I've just done the xcl file mod, to enable overdrive, is there a similar solution to adding volts?

    Yes, you can start MSI afterburner with -xcl added to the shortcut and it enables it.

    Anyway if it's unlocked you should find the right overclocking software with a voltage slider.

    No, create a shortcut to the exe and then add -xcl to the pointer in the properties of the shortcut (this is brought up through right clicking on it and going to properties)
