Can get my sapphire hd6870 voltage increase with Trixx, but I like the fan control better with Afterburner and It wont let me unlock the voltage, why yes on Trixx and not on Afterburner? Have already clicked the voltage unlock in Afterburner.

Hey you won't have luck with the core voltage feature on Afterburner. I have a Sapphire 6870 and I can't over clock my core voltage using it either. Their software doesn't support the card yet so I'd continue using Sapphire Trixx.
