Can I unlock the power limit on Manli Snow Fox RTX 5080?

The power limit on this card is a joke. During big firefights, the clock speed tanks from 2.6GHz to 1.8GHz, making the game look like a slideshow. Even though the Manli Snow Fox RTX 5080 is a beast, the 400W default limit just isn't enough for extreme scenarios, leaving the core bouncing between 75-82℃. I tried a software overclock first, but it triggered a driver reset and my screen went black for three seconds—I legit thought I fried the card. I eventually used a tool to unlock the power limit to 1.1x and cranked my case fans to max. In GPU-Z, the core finally stabilized at 2.5-2.7GHz, and the frame variance tightened from a wild 40-110 FPS to a smooth 95-105 FPS. I did notice the power connector getting scary hot after the unlock, so I swapped to an official 12VHPWR cable for peace of mind. VRAM is running hot at 88-94℃ with fans at 2100 RPM, but the performance is finally where it should be.
