I made a BIOS mod request over in ROG STRIX B550-I GAMING - Enable x8x4x4 bifurcation possible?
However, I’m trying to understand how to do this myself. In the relevant section I see:

Does this mean it's as simple as this?

setup_var 0x11 0x2
I'm also unclear how I can just make this option visible again in the BIOS - or even if it's possible on an ASUS Strix b550 I due to BIOS locking/signing.
Any help here gratefully received!
