Feasibility of upgrading Razer Blade 15 components (CPU, RAM, GPU)

Hello, I am very happy Razer blade 15 advanced (2019) owner and as my laptop ages, I have started to question if it is possible to upgrade certain hardware within the laptop? I am out of warranty and not worried about problems with that, but am asking to both the community and/or any Razer employees that would actually like to be helpful (not going to lie, Razer support has been a terrible experience for me over the years) for their input? I can’t seem to find many sources, though I am getting the idea that the difficulty of upgrading in descending order is RAM->CPU->GPU which is coincidentally the order I’d look at things.

Just putting this here hoping for a helpful discussion so I can see if it is better to pursue possibly upgrading components of my machine, or to better look at upgrading to a new machine altogether  when the time comes. My laptop is still very much a functional piece of hardware (I only have had to replace my battery once) but I am still asking for the future . 

Thanks in advance! :)

On blade 15 only ram, ssd and wifi card can be upgraded since they are not soldered. CPU and GPU you can’t upgrade, the gpu maybe with Egpu setting but it’s another story and a bit different with your question I think.

Hi. Is it possible to  upgrade the fans for the Blade 2019 15 base? I would need some fans that makes the laptop to run cooler.

Better clean your fan/fins and replace thermal paste.

Fan upgrade probably possible, but dunno if there will be better performing versions.

Yes you can un-solder a GPU and or a CPU and upgrade them. The question is will the mother board handle an upgrade. It should but that is research YOU will have to do to figure out what the board can handle and what you can upgrade to. I would say that it is safe to say that you could upgrade to at least the next “better” version of processor from the one that came in the laptop as well as the GPU I have heard and seen some people online upgrading this laptop to a 20 serious GPU. But I dont know the truth in all of it.

Re-balling a new CPU or GPU onto a laptop motherboard isn't realistic for 99.9% of users vBIOS compatibility alone will soft-lock the system even if the soldering is flawless. Maxing out the RAM to 32GB/64GB, getting a faster NVMe drive, and doing a full repaste is really the only practical path to stretch a 2019 model further.
