Razer Blade and Synapse Feedback


Userlevel 2
Hello,
I will write it short and straight to the point.

Issue: Laptop is overheating because of bad cooling settings.
Solution: Allow people to create a fan curve in synapse or hire someone to do that.

Issue: Synapse performance modes are bad. You can set Balanced and a Manual Fan speed, but when using custom, you can't select the fan speed and setting the CPU to medium doesn't do anything, it still runs at high clock speed
Solution: Allow people to select the fan speed on custom settings, even better, add a fan curve.

Issue: Bad fan exhaust
Solution: Create a better lid that doesn't block the rear exhaust, many laptops do it, where the back is clearly open and can dump hot air instead blowing it onto a lid.

I agree. I have seen many laptop brands do this. Having more control is always better in my opinion. I overclocked my PC by 1.2GHz so I'm at 4.8GHz and running stable while staying under 70°C and staying quiet. Seeing as laptops can't really be modified in cooling hardware. Have you tried looking in to 3rd party software for fan controls? I know some laptops allow fan control but it seems very limited when not on desktop.

It is possible to set max fan speed via Synapse the issue is that when I'm playing games, I have NO issue letting the laptops fans run at full speed. Issue is when the CPU is hot, hot things break faster, especially laptops.

Now I'm installing stuff and browsing while the laptop is still at full speed. Balanced mode values "noise" over "hardware safety" and this is in my eyes a no-go.

I have 4x 3090 running Folding@Home for Cancer research etc. I want my laptop to last, I didn't pay 2.5k for it so it dies after the 1 year warranty.

It's made using Electron, electron isn't bad but people who don't know how to code will make an app terrible...
Drivers should be lightweight so I don't understand why Electron...

I use synapse almost every day and id say 95% id the time there are no issues. I'm a die hard razer fan I've bought a few of their products. if I need something for any gaming system I check razer first to see if they make what I'm looking for and I'm more than willing omeglz to pay the extra money for the quality

I have more money spent on Razer things than you and I'm not a die hard Razer Fan. I do like the innovation that razer does, like optical switches and others. There are also many issues with razer and synapse. For example razer locks down their stuff so you can't even play with it after saying "I don't need warranty" can't so a battery mod while the same mod is possible with most other mice including Logitech.
