Just picked up a GTX 1070 G1 Gaming and I went to overclock the thing and I can't unlock the voltage. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

You have to go into the settings to unlock the voltage slider

Don't have to touch the voltage to OC it, good idea to see how far you can push it without touching the voltage anyway

Indeed. Pushing the voltage wont always give better results since the card monitors power which is current * voltage. increasing voltage might just lower the current delivery which wont help.

You need afterburner 4.3.0 beta 4. Go to the website and download the latest beta.
