Alienware Area51m R1 RU.efi edit to run RAM at higher speeds

Out of all the BIOS versions I tested, BIOS 1.7.3 delivered the best memory frequency and timing results.

 

Using very ordinary Samsung DDR4-2666 memory modules, I was able to overclock them to 2933 MHz with timings of CL17

1.7.3 nice 👌

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.

I have 3200Mhz 128GB Samsung DDR4.

 

It's running at 2933Mhz now using default settings (only changed frequency in bios).

 

Is there any way to try 3200mhz? I don't care about timings right now, just want to try 3200mhz and see if it works.
