I have the same mods as you using 3080. On overclocking I can only set the flex ratio override to a max of 25 and yours is set to 32 ? I know that the 3940xm and 3920xm have differing available settings are you using 3920 on the m18xr2 in the pics ? I am using Swick unlocked A11 Thanks

Not sure if thats the same guy or two different modders as im not informed too much on that sorta stuff. I just downloaded that one since it was the first one I seen. 2 hours ago, Siplast said: On overclocking I can only set the flex ratio override to a max of 25 and yours is set to 32 ? When I have it enabled it just defaults as 32. Last time i changed it (I forget if I was setting it higher or lower than 32) it blue screened before windows even started and wouldn't turn on so i had to resent CMOS and im not going through that again lol. 2 hours ago, Siplast said: I have the same mods as you using 3080.

Siplast Posted 6 hours ago Posted 6 hours ago M18xr2 with unlocked a11 by swick/ Svl7 with 3940xm 32gb of 1866(needs to be 2133mhz but impossible to find anymore) Using and xvision rtx3080mxm that the vbios is locked to 115w. Trying to get a great firestrike score with oc from the bios. Seems I will have to use Intel XTU for tuning my oc. Did you download the a11 from ssj92 on this site or another? Thanks
Siplast Posted 6 hours ago Posted 6 hours ago I have 2133 in my other m18xr2 but I don't really want to break down that set up right now
Siplast Posted 6 hours ago Posted 6 hours ago Looking for custom heatsink for M17x r4 for the 3080 with backlight mod as a next project.
