Core Voltage Doesn't Stick After Computer Wakes Up

Hi all, my problem is that Trixx won't automatically re-apply my core voltage (currently 1.287V without vdroop) after I wake up my computer from sleep mode. It isn't a big problem but it would be nice to not have to re-apply it every time I use my computer. Btw my GPU is a Sapphire dual-X 7970 @ 1100mhz core and 1550mhz memory (can go to 1700mhz+ on memory but I see negligible benefit so I left it just a little OCed).
Also is this voltage for my core normal for this sort of moderate overclock? I can't seem to go to 1130mhz even at more than 1.3V, 1.3V would be my max safe voltage anyway.
 
use a different OC program is one solution. try msi afterburner or HIS iTurbo. both programs work with different manufactures cards.

trixx is just Sapphires OC solution and many are based off of riva tuner. try a different program and see if it works.

I have tried MSI Afterburner already but it doesn't let me change the voltage (yes I did all the correct stuff so it should have worked but it just wouldn't).

I will give HIS iTurbo a try. I have to fully uninstal Trixx first though, yes? Also do you think my voltage is normal or high for my OC?

 
yes you should uninstall trixx first. as for the voltage I wouldn't know as I have never OCed a 7970.

another option albeit very risky is to edit the Bios using a program like RBE (Radeon Bios Editor). I'm not sure if it will work but it's an option to look into. and will void your warranty

I'm not that fussed on OCing my card at this point (don't need that big of an e-peni :p) so I won't go into BIOS things. I'll try out some other OC programs when I get home such as the one you mentioned. Thanks for the help, will leave thread open for a little while just to see if people think my voltage is high for my OC.
