    I hear someone managed to increase the GTX 1080 TDP on the alienware to 200w without a shunt mod

    He flashed another vendor's laptop VBios that's supposed to have 200W TDP limit. But unfortunately, he can't flash back to Alienware's one.

    So we just have to wait for alienware's next Bios and perhaps VBios update and maybe they'll unlock the TDP Limit or at least rise it a little more like they said.
