ATLAST !!! Thank you man 😁😁👍👍

Keep up the good work sir!!!!

Hello, first of all, I wanted to thank you for time and effort you put in the M18 videos, your clear explanations and goal to optimise this beast to the fullest potential. My M18 arrived today, 13900hx/4080 , first thing i did was installed hwinfo and ran C23, and I would love your input on my situation, I have one P core (P3) throtlling, all other cores ran in mid 80's, I hit 29000 on a single run. What would you advise me to do in this situation? Are there any measures I can take to bring it down under control? My last laptop lasted me 6 years (MSI GT72 titan) I'm hoping similiar longevity with this one aswell.

That seems to be the norm. Honestly you can try undervolting a bit and see if it helps. But CB will run the cpu a lot hotter than standard gaming would anyways

Good video, thank you for the easy to follow guide. I'm running into an issue with XTU. XTU will not start now saying it won't start because undervolt protection is disabled, which you showed how to do (and I did) in the video. Is there anyway around this? Is there another way to undervolt?

You can try undervolting using throttlestop

Yes It works. A simple reinstall of the command center fix's that issue. Fresh install also gives you better access inside the command center

@@ea168 The command center changed a lot in the 9 months since that comment. Also the bios has changed a lot. You get quite a lot of access without the need to mess with the bios. Under voting is doable with factor bios now but to a much lower degree. It does require a lot of restarts to get it right though. Turn off the Spatial sound and save yourself a lot of sound cracking issues during gaming.

is working for Alienware m18 r1 with BIOS 1.16.0?

Oh my god im going to try this soon I got the m16 with the 13900hx but it keeps reaching 100c and droping clocks causing lag on any game that goes for the CPU side (like cyberpunk) Btw is there any risk to undervolting? Or its just about when it gets unstable I just set it back to the last working config?

@@cs.studios Just tried it out, worked perfectly, rn im at -130mv without instabilities, tried -150 but it didn´t make it through. Im using throttlestop for safety, dont want to cmos every time things goes brrr. Unfortunately, my results werent as incredible. I still thermal throttle but my p core frequency did go from 3600mhz to 4000mhz average when testing in cinebench, not sure why but almost didn´t see a difference within cyberpunk testing, but thats likely because cpu usage goes basically 75% which is almost full load so, no wonder nothing changed. I´ve disabled 8E cores hoping to save more power to reach higher frequencies, my meta was to be 8/16 at 5000ghz but unfortunately I think im going to need more extreme measures, such as better paste and maybe filling some spots with the PTM something-something godsent thermal pad Any tips? BTW I did delete AWCC before the thing, and then added it later, not sure if it matters but i saw a post on reddit and it recommended

Maybe you can help me... I followed this tutorial and yes it worked. But it didnt have what I was looking for in the menu. I purchased my dell m18 r1 and didn't realize they were going to Raid the drives for me. So I went into the basic bios turned off Raid and switched to AHCI and did a clean install of win 11. Unfortunately my other 2TB drive isn't showing up. 1 drive is showing up which is the drive i did the fresh install on. It seems as if the raid was turned off but it wasn't deleted. I have been scouring the inter-web trying to fix this. ctrl + I hasn't been working. any thoughts?

You need to remove the drives from the raid array. Simply changing from raid to ahci won’t do thar. Check the F12 boot menu, there should be an option for raid or additional options that has a raid menu. You don’t need the unlocked bios to do it
