If you do this, you’ll be the first and only person to have achieved it and shared it.

What if we don’t unlock it, but just find the hidden offsets and try to read them from RU.EFI? Since they’re hidden in RU.EFI, the important offsets show up as FFFFFF.

What I mean is that I’m looking for something optimized and hassle-free. This panel can be installed as a standard replacement and is more compatible with the overall design and functionality of the R1. Of course, the 4K 60Hz panel can also be installed without replacing the cable. My main goal in buying this laptop is simply to learn, create content, and enjoy owning such a unique laptop. I’m based in Iran, and I bought all these parts from the US and UK at a very high cost and went through a lot of trouble to get them into Iran, since international shipping to Iran isn’t available. I really enjoyed seeing that you’re collecting these parts as well. I’m seriously looking for a way to unlock the BIOS on my laptop. I found a guy from Germany who managed to unlock his BIOS, but he didn’t provide any explanation about how he did it. If I can unlock the BIOS and gain full access to all the hidden settings, I’m going to do things with this laptop that would make even Dell itself freak out! 😄

Link panel : https://www.blisscomputers.net/ne173qhm-nz1-v8-1-v8-0-qhd-40-pin-17-3-240hz-lcd-screen-msi-stealth1713017-149434/ Video showing the replacement of the standard Area-51M R1 display panel with a 2K 240Hz panel. You can find the panel model and the product link in the video description. In my opinion, this could be a better option than the 4K panel, especially for gaming, since it offers a higher refresh rate and is much better suited to the RTX 2080 GPU. If you’re also using an AGA, it should be more than enough for gaming. 【外星人2019款51m升级2K 240Hz刷新率电竞屏-哔哩哔哩】 https://b23.tv/VZX5rbF

I found a Chinese website that shows how to easily get 3200MHz RAM running on the Area-51m R1 by enabling XMP. If any of you have 3200MHz RAM, please check it out. My RAM has a base frequency of 2666MHz, so I haven’t tested this method myself. If you have 3200MHz RAM and you’re stuck with a lower memory frequency, watch this video. I’ll post the link below. 【外星人Area 51M R1/A51MR1笔记本解锁BIOS超频内存3200 CL17教程-哔哩哔哩】 https://b23.tv/HcuDNEI

I’m really happy that you solved your system’s problem.

Is everything working fine now? No more issues?If you want the changes you made in RU to persist and not reset, apply this change: 0xB66 = 00

Wow, both versions are awesome. Alienware isn’t available in my country, and unfortunately, I can’t buy from eBay either. I’m really curious to see how much of a performance difference there is compared to the R1, especially in terms of CPU performance. If you get a chance, I’d love to see some benchmarks from it.
-
Did you buy the R2 laptop or the panel?
-
I hope it helped you. Let me know how it goes, and we can try to improve it even further.
-
If you want, I can tell you what changes to make in RU.EFI so that the settings you apply in RU.EFI won’t reset anymore and will only be reset by clearing the BIOS/CMOS.
-
I’d suggest tightening your RAM timings a bit. Since your RAM is already running at tighter timings than its standard settings, I think CL18 should be easily achievable. This should noticeably reduce memory latency, and you’ll definitely see the difference in benchmarks. Going from CL21 to CL18 could make a significant difference.

We will also disable Power Down Unused Lanes so the unused PCIe lanes are not powered down. 0x993 = 03 0x997 = 03 0x99B = 00 Apply these changes, then check whether the errors are reduced or not. Let me know the results so we can investigate further. By the way, are you sure the AGA cable is definitely working properly?

My friend, I want us to run a few tests together. Go into RU.EFI and check this option. If it is Enabled, disable it: ACPI D3Cold Support = Disabled Current value: 0x425 = 01 Then do the following several times: Perform a complete shutdown. Power on the laptop with the AGA + RTX 5080 connected. Check the PCIe Error Counters in GPU-Z. Run a demanding game or GPU stress test. Repeat the Cold Boot test several times. If the rate of Bad Boots noticeably decreases, that would be a strong clue that the problem is related to PCIe Power State / Power Sequencing. If nothing changes, we can change the setting back to Enabled.

Even with the Intel graphics enabled, the laptop still displays an image. What I mean is: once you’re in Windows, open Task Manager and disable the RTX 2080. Also, run the test using an external monitor at a resolution higher than 1080p. If you test at 1080p, the CPU will become a significant bottleneck. Also, tell me exactly what issue you’re having with the RTX 5080 on your system. Maybe I can think of something that will help us fix the problem.
-
Both the Intel integrated graphics and the internal GPU should be disabled. Run the benchmark on an external monitor to get the best possible performance.
-
Your CPU score is normal now. However, your GPU score is low. I remember you previously scored around 30K with it.
-
If 0xA65 is not set to 01, none of the timings shown in the picture will be applied. That’s why the system fails to boot.
-
BIOS 1.9.3 becomes unstable at memory frequencies above 2666 MHz. You should downgrade to BIOS 1.7.3. If you do not enable 0xA65, you won’t be able to achieve higher frequencies because the timings selected automatically will not be appropriate. I tested this on BIOS 1.9.3 and it has limitations.
-
Set it according to the screenshot. Also, configure these three values as well: 0xA63 = 75 0xA64 = 0B 0xA65 = 01 If it’s stable, I’ll start lowering the timings afterward.
-
Your score looks perfectly fine. I only wish you had run a Time Spy benchmark with the RTX 5080 in this setup too — it would have been great to see and enjoy that Time Spy score as well
