I use 200W Vbios from this post... Alienware Area 51m

Ahh I wasn't sure that was compatible. Thank you.

Looking at the above scores, I must have a fairly decent chip then, as I've managed to hit ~10500 Timespy GPU score with only overclocking and no VBIOS changes. Makes me wonder what mine would do with MOAR POWAAA

If I ever do get a USB-C to Mini-DP adaptor (to ensure the external monitor still works), will have to give the VBIOS mod a try.
Still wish there was a higher wattage VBIOS that didn't break ports though, I'd have tried it already if there was haha

And how much CPU score u have? I cant have more than 8500... With i9 on 4ghz....

See my signature the link is there. Around 9600-700.

It's undervolted, tdp in performance mode and thermal paste redone.

DISCLAIMER: This mod is NOT officially supported on the HP laptop mentioned below, and YOU assume all the risk and liability by attempting this mod on your own laptop. This thread was created merely to show that this mod is possible!

Please note: IT IS SUGGESTED THAT YOU APPLY LIQUID METAL TO THE GPU AND CPU BEFORE TRYING THE 190W VBIOS, OTHERWISE YOUR GPU MIGHT THERMAL THROTTLE!

Stock 150W vBios is also included, scroll to the bottom for the link!

Testing

I have tested this RTX 2080 190W vBios for quite sometime now and have come to a consensus that it is suitable for daily gaming use, there are three reasons why (you can skip this and go to the bottom if you like):

330W Charger

The laptop does not use all 330w of power when gaming, actually it hovers between 250w-280w under extreme CPU + GPU loads (furmark + Prime95). So there is potentially 50w-80w left to spare for battery charging. If the battery is already charged this spare wattage can be put to good use. With a 190w vbios on the RTX GPU I'm reaching 290w-320w of use, still there is a good 20w-40w for battery charging factoring in extra load the PSU can take.

Heatsink Design

As you can all clearly see the heatsink design for this laptop's GPU is no slouch, (note I didn't say the CPU ):

All of that heatsink mass is cooling just a 150W GPU! With there being multiple thick heatpipes on the GPU side the laptop would have no problem keeping temperatures in the low 70s with a repaste. This is why there is enough leeway for us to play with. Another 40w increases temps from an original max of 69-72c to 76-79c. Please bare in mind that this is with LM applied.

Expect 6-8c higher on thermal paste!

VRM Design and layout

This was the most important factor of the whole mod! Luckily HP have actively slapped a heatpipe on all the GPU VRMs which means no burning out today (Alienware Area 51m ):

As you can see there are 8 mosfets, 2 for the vram and 6 for the vcore.

Meanwhile the Alienware Area 51M has 6 mosfets, 1 for the vram and 5 for the vcore :

Both laptops use the same mosfets: NCP- 303150

From this we can conclude that the HP has MUCH better power delivery to the RTX GPU die as it has one extra vrm for the vcore and vram as well as notably better vrm cooling as its actively cooled via a heatpipe and not some metal shroud like the alienware, this was the problem with the area 51m the vrms were not cooled thoroughly and this is gladly NOT an issue with the HP Omen.

Benchmarks

Here is a 3dmark timespy benchmark of my HP Omen with the stock 150w Vbios:

Here is the same benchmark with the 190w Vbios:

Here is a UserBenchMark score of the GPU at 150W +200MHz Vram +140MHz Core:

Here is a UserBenchMark score of the GPU at 190W +200MHz Vram no core overclock (remember the alienware vbios has higher base clocks):

In games I see roughly a 8 - 12% performance increase with the vbios mod, especially in GPU heavy games like Assassins Creed Odyssey

VBios

Here is the modified vbios: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1hvwT1MOj_qkt3Pnfdby6EB8SbbmcU6no/view?usp=sharing

Included in the folder is the stock Vbios which is labelled as 'TU104.rom'

Flash via the NVflash program provided, type this command in with CMD reading from the folder directory:

nvflash64 -6 190w.rom

For the stock HP Vbios type this command:

nvflash64 -6 TU104.rom

Good luck flashing, remember to always backup your original vbios using NVflash!

This bios work in Clevo RTX2080 ?
90.04.3B.00.79

OneSickOmen17t · Dec 18, 2020

Can anyone please help me understand how to do the flash? I downloaded and ecxtracted everything to desktop folder and got CMD into the fs directory but im stuck there. Please help. Trying to flash the 200w.

Update: I figured out how to do it. I flashed and reset but it did nothing to my wattage. Still 150w. Maybe the 2020 model is blocked from doing this? Do I need to run CMD in administrator mode? Possibly won't take due to being a 2080 Super?

I'm using a Cable Matters USB-C to DP adapter and it works with the hotfix driver and 200W VBIOS.

Hey neit can you message me or add me on discord Sicko#9014. Thanks

FYI -
Here is a cheap USBC to Displayport adapter so you can use your existing cable after the VBios flash:

I am using this on my laptop now and it was under $10.
