Thanks You

Thanks, here is my Grub / Setup_var guide, you will be starting at step #6 only, because I will give you all details needed from steps #1-5 from the guide. That guide is to do same thing we are doing here, but in the guide I show how to unlock "BIOS Lock and SMI Lock" instead of the things you are changing. https://www.win-raid.com/t3908f16-GUIDE-...-BIOS.html
You need to follow this method for USB file layout on the USB and shell.efi rename because your BIOS does not appear to offer direct option of "Boot to EFI/UEFI Shell" on the exit screen. If it does, hover/select that setting and the help/text should show you the name of the file it will be looking for https://www.win-raid.com/t3144f16-Help-n...l#msg58324
First, disable UEFI Boot Mode in your BIOS and Secure Boot mode if you see that
Then on reboot you will be selecting Boot menu and then choose your USB device
Here are your variables to use/change
Turbo Power Limit2 - 0x49B / Default = 0x1
Command to enter at grub prompt >>
Setup_Var 0x49B 0x0
cTDP mode - 0x51F / Default = 0x3
Command to enter at grub prompt >>
Setup_var 0x51F 0x2
For this setting, changing to "Up, Value" may not have any effect, since you cannot see the setting to set a value, auto would be used.
Mod BIOS may be required to enable this to be visible for you to then change and set a value.
I can make this visible for you if needed, if changing like this leaves in auto/no effect, that way you can set a value and that way you'll also be able to see what the default "Nominal Value" is too.
Hide Special Settings - 0x51 / Default = 0x1
Command to enter at grub prompt >>
Setup_var 0x51 0x0
To undo these changes, either reload optimal defaults, or reflash stock BIOS
Or they can be reset using this same method, but entering the stock values show on first page (And above now too), instead of the new ones above
Do not mistype in grub, double check before you hit enter!

I got the error message "error: can't set variable using efi (error: 0x0000000000000008)"
do I missing anything?
thanks

I've not seen this error before, but this is an oddly made BIOS so it's probably to be expected. Likely this is due to them being inside a hidden "Evaluation" menu, and several of the menus are split out into other modules as well, which is not the norm.
We'll have to try modified BIOS instead I think, and due to how the BIOS is created and these inside the Eval menu, I can't see how to make that menu or it's contents visible to you, sorry. So the cTDP mode change likely will have no effect, since you wont be able to set a value and it will be in auto mode with no value change applied, but maybe you get lucky and default "Up" value is higher than "Nominal Custom" Default value. And "hide Special" whatever that shows you wont be able to see either since Eval will be hidden still, but we can test and see if it also shows anything else for you on other sections (doubt it though, sorry)
Here is that BIOS, all changes you wanted made, flash using FPT as shown below
FPTw.exe -bios -f biosregm.bin

Sorry, I forgot you will need to unlock a few things before you can flash (I have already unlocked these in the BIOS below, so you wont need to do next time unless you ever flash stock BIOS again)
Boot to grub again and run these commands to unlock SMI Lock and BIOS Lock
Setup_var 0x4C9 0x0
Setup_var 0x4CB 0x0

Setup_var 0x4CB 0x0
For all commands now try with Setup_Var2 instead of Setup_var - any change to error?
Hmmm, do you have "Secure Boot" enabled? If yes, disable and try those grub commands again as originally tried before trying above method.
No matter if you get it or not, also do the below too, so we can edit more settings
If no luck, please download this package and run the following commands from admin command prompt (select folder that directly contains the exe, hold shift and press right click, choose open command window here) http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?fil...7828471868
I have not used this tool in a while, so please excuse if I have those commands backwards above, and try this instead if above does not give txt files
H2OUVE.exe vars.txt -gv
H2OUVE.exe Setup.txt -gs -all

You have to rename and place in same location as the other file you used before, exact same name and exact same locations, when that is done it will boot just like the other one. But, sounds like you got it, not sure the cause of that error.
