hello!!
i'm trying to overclock my r7 265 dual x but i can't adjust the voltage slider. when i set it to max and apply it, it resets back to 1175v. i need a way to force it to stay at 1300mv. i want to fine-tune the voltage since it's unstable at 1150mhz core clock. thank you for any help!

Avoid pushing voltage too high. It's completely unnecessary. Even with a high output current, you wouldn't typically increase voltages by more than 10mv at once. I'm currently running a 124% OC on my GPU and it remains at normal levels.
Just because it's possible doesn't mean it's wise. Overloading the VRM with excessive voltage can quickly damage the card.
I highly recommend researching all aspects of GPU overclocking—tricks, adjustments, limits, clocks, memory, power caps, voltages—before risking permanent harm to your GPU.

was there any adjustment made to enable unofficial overclocking in the general settings section?
