I’m not sure if it’s suitable for manjaro forum, but maybe there is a way to do at least something through the system.
My 5500u laptop is my only gaming device at the time, so I would be more than happy to change amount of RAM that assigned to iGPU, undervolt my system and overclock it right after(or at least just undervolt).
The problem is - I have no idea how to. That’s all usually can be done with BIOS, but my laptop doesn’t have this option. I can’t enter BIOS debugg/advanced mode, if it’s exists(probably is), so the only resort is to try to change some of the stuff from inside the system, if possible.
Maybe you have the idea how something like that can be done, or even better - maybe you know how I can unlock BIOS(I tried some combinations that could suit my laptop, but didn’t help), so please help.
