Gigabyte R9 280X Voltage Problem

I own a Gigabyte R9 280X OC REV1. I've been trying to overclock it with Afterburner but i can barely get it anywhere without it crashing on every game i try. I can't adjust the voltages no matter what i use. I've tried 3 other programs, each time the voltage editing was locked. So now i'm assuming it's locked entirely even though the word OVERCLOCK is in the damn name. Can anyone help?

 

And just a note, default core clock is 1100Mhz & default memory clock is 1500MHz.

Okay... is there a edited BIOS that unlocks it? I've seen reviews about people OCing it. You're either wrong or they're doing something i'm not aware of.

My R9 390 from Gigashit is BIOS locked and voltage locked.

I specifically mention in my post that i assume it's LOCKED. I'm not looking for someone to re-tell me something, i'm looking for a solution like a edited BIOS.

Yes you can probably flash a new BIOS.
