Not my best run but just checking out what CPU bump does. I can try and get a better run after getting the RAM speed up.
-
I tried 0xA65 = 01 before and my system failed to boot with blinking red alien head. (On BIOS 1.9.3 if that matters)
-
Sorry just dawned on me that I prefer to run Hyperthreading off. Turned it on for the synthetic boost.

Set XTU to 50x all cores at -0.110v Maybe I just have a bad CPU. Hit 93*C & no throttling @ 4990mhz It was crazy inexpensive on ebay.
-
I recall having to run my M15x with the Dell 980M without a battery. The SMBus would hang and fans would get stuck at whatever RPM when the BIOS had the bus management issue. Amazing system that lasted me so long from 680M all the way to 980M. It even ran VR on Oculus Rift with modified Intel USB drivers.

I think my RAM sticks are maxed out at 2667.

Timespy Dev wrote that the 5080 causes CPU overhead issues due to their code. (so it is not ideal to test with) Just tried 48x @ -0.120V and came in similar. Not sure if because I have steam also running since that's how I got the demo. CPU at 85.6* Fans are set to full speed.

Joined in. I have better luck in RU.efi doing below: Alt-F to enter menu bar Choose EFI Variables and then the scroll to the EFI Variables -> Setup Use Control + PgDwn to get to proper addresses. Control + w to write before Quit and reset.
-
Checking my settings in RU.efi the eGPU root port was already set. I did the 2080 RTX disable, PEG and internal Gfx disable.
-
From cold boot the 5080 has incorrect PCIe settings. As if the BIOS picks a "bad handshake". The only workaround found is to allow boot to Windows. Disable, unplug, replug the AGA inside of windows. Then stable connection is established. You can see all the screenshots and progress in the AGA thread. What stinks is that if I leave the AGA plugged in overnight with the laptop on suspend or hibernate the system crashes. Comes up cold boot.

I set the max for all cores to 47x in OC BIOS settings. Then did this under-voltage:
-
"0C80 = 3200, 0xA63 as 80 and 0xA64 as 0C"
-
9900K (updated since rolled back to 1.3.2 BIOS and needed CPU without later e-fuses burned) 64 GB RAM at 2667mhz (don't try and code in 2666) 1.9.3 BIOS update since trying to fix AGA 5080 RTX "bad handshake" PCIe defaults. Still have to unplug/plug in Win10 to work.

I was on 1.3.2 but updated to 1.9.3 to try and fix the bad BIOS handshake with the AGA 5080 RTX. No improvement.
-
Post pics of the swap when you do it!
-
If you are just doing 2667mhz do not enable the "MEMORY PROFILE 0XA65 → 01" I think that is XMP and not supported for some DIMMs.

What size shim? Where can I find it? -
0C 80 but you got methods to recover your NVRAM/BIOS chip right? 0C80 = 3200, 0xA63 as 80 and 0xA64 as 0C Dude above knows way more settings that me but like I could not get the CL settings to be "hard coded" IMO the DIMMs have SPD read values of CL. Still no direct reply to this: ✅ Memory Profile: MEMORY PROFILE 0XA65 → 01 ✅ Additional Overclocking: 0X93F → 0B

Well I can report there is no improvement of the original PCIe handshake of AGA w 5080 on the following BIOS: 1.3.2, 1.5.0, 1.5.4, 1.9.3 But from what I've read people stayed on the older BIOS to squeeze everything out of the 2080 which I am not using anymore. Running 1.9.3 now and still using the AGA disconnect/reconnect inside of Windows to get good link.
-
So I've been on 1.3.2 since I trusted the feedback that is was for max perf. Now that I use the AGA for most of my performance I am wanting to solve the sometimes bad handshake. So going to try 1.5.0 version first as I am not sure I can roll back once I go up to 1.9.3
-
Ok I want to start on this process. I think I will first "Disabled the internal RTX 2080" This is because I never plan to use it anymore.
-
Wow thanks for the tips. I will follow these when I can and report back.
-
I believe the very latest BIOS can only be downgraded to 1.12.0. The later (more recent) BIOS burn e-fuses in the CPU as I was unable to boot after recovery flash below 1.12.0 without replacing the CPU to boot 1.3.2. So if your R1 is on the latest BIOS you might need to swap CPU if you get blinking red Alienware head on attempted recovery BIOS downgrade.
-
Wow that is amazing. I need to do this!
