I know this thread is sort of old, but I will show you my specs and for future inquiring folk who want to overclock a 3940xm:

Just read your post and was hoping you might inform me as to which unlocked bios you are using on the M18xr2 ?

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

I have A11 Unlocked also but the mod is sv17. 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.

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.

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
