GTX 970 cannot underclock

Hi, I've been trying for the last few weeks to underclock my GTX 970 GPU but to no luck. MSI Afterburner doesn't want to open the "CTRL+F" screen and the option to lower the voltage is not working at all, I can only increase it in 12mv steps. I'm using the latest Nvidia Drivers and the latest stable build of MSI AfterBurner. I have checked the "low level I-O" , kernel acces mode, unlock voltage and monitoring control.

My GPU is a GTX 970 Asus Strix OC Direct Cu II   (STRIX-GTX970-DC2OC-4GD5)

MSI Afterburner frequency curve only works for GTX 1000 series and newer. There is no way to have direct control to undervolt Maxwell GPUs.
