Hey guys I been able to get my hands on a Alienware M18R1 AMD (2023 model) it has a 7945hx with 4090 its a great piece of equipment but it has no method of messing with any advanced bios settings its only gotten more vaulted along its years it only offers preconfigured presets that they presumed worthy, which aren't that funtastic
Its not compatible with Ryzen Master either... I just read that it was compatible with UMAF-Smokeless but since i received it with a updated bios version i cant access those features from what UMAF provided that's known to work so if its possible please help me uncover/unlock those hidden bios settings that are stated as available or maybe a way to downgrade but i don't know they also mention the dangers due to CPU micro coding potential.. Its somewhat compatible with UXTU but quite restricted to just a few power settings and the BSOD still lacks all the cool features basically too but its a work in progress..
As far as GPU goes i was able to flash another vBios but it didn't stabilize correctly so yeah i might need fix that too since it confused sub vender IDs but not the end of the world.. hopefully i was able to do that with nvflashk which was awesome but didn't result in what i was pursuing.. The GPU only issue i feel is the thermal limit is to low set at 87 when it should be at least like all other GPU's I've had in the past somewhere in the mid 90s at the least but i don't know exactly why they left it so low?
I did manage to repaste both processors with Grizzly Conductonaut extreme and from 90c and above idle I've gotten it back down to almost 40-60c its amazing if its done right but still it looks like its got more potential and these are still outperforming CPU and GPU in the current market. So yeah i do feel like its losing out on a lot of performance headroom here so yeah I'll link the current bios and please see if there is something i might've missed within my research or there is something that can be done thanks and always thanks for the developers like you guys that help make things fun again
If you need any thing more off my end please let me know
You guys will be helping me and a lot of others out on this series(I will donate on behalf of the missing potential of this laptop)
Please HELP!!!
