Necro just because i wanted to know wether the HIS model OP unlocked is the H695QN1G2M, how is it doing so far?
Model H695QN1G2M (The HIS 1GB 6950)
I actually thought I 're-locked' them so to speak, after I experienced some instability, but a quick look at my bios shows that they have been unlocked the whole time.
As long as you BIOS mod, instead of use a 6970 BIOS you should be good. My card has been kicking since and I really like the little bit of added performance in games and mining.
Wow.you can still unlock the shaders o a newer HD6950? That's good to know. I myself unlocked an HD6950 which was purchased last June (end of really). I got an extra 30MHash/s overnight and that was a lowish clock as well (840MHz core clock),then I really cracnked up the OC'ing and now I have a card that does ~402MHash/s. 
If I push the card, with the unlocked shaders, I can hit 400MHash/s relatively easily. Using the old method, the card's memory would likely have fried.
Thanks for the necro
