Ok, this might not be quite the right place to ask, but worth a shot.
Does anyone have any experience using MSI Afterburner with two 5970s?
The reason I ask is due to this

That is the information area for Afterburner, notice how the master GPU is missing the driver version
and memory count? Normally I wouldn't care. But the problem is that Afterburner can change the
voltages on all 4 GPUs... except that one. I can use the XFX Overvolt tool, and it does indeed change
all 4 GPUs, but that tool has no command line parameters so you cannot get it to change the voltage upon boot.
I could probably mod a BIOS to up the voltage, but I would like to avoid it unless neccesary.
