CPU over 100°C - Razer Blade 17 2022

A
Hello, I recently bought a razer blade 17 (2022 version with i7 12800h and Nvidia 3070 Ti).

I noticed that the CPU temperatures during heavy applications reaches over 102°C, while in iddle it also reaches random peaks of temperatures up to 90°C, goes into thermal throttling and the fans run at high speed and then return to normal.

I've tried various system resets, the behaviour is always the same.

I've seen on online reviews that under stress it shouldn't even reach 90°C.

Having just bought it I'm thinking of returning it and getting another one.

Are these temperatures normal?

I'm getting the same with a 2022 Blade 15. Several CPU cores slam right into TJmax and the system throttles. Almost like Razer used poor TIM or something.

Be sure, that fans are not blocked, and they have a good airflow. Good thing is to put something under laptop or use it on some laptop stand to provide better air circulation.

Thanks. Yep, I have a stand and a cooler pad... the fans are not blocked in any way. The temps will spike to over 100C just sitting at idle. This has to be a manufacturing defect.

This can be also thermal paste problem (bad quality thermal paste or uneven spreaded over the CPU/GPU).

You bet it can. Void the warranty to fix an assembly defect?? Where's Razer Support??

As far as I know thermal paste change (if done properly) will not void warranty.
@Razer.Speedcr0ss - can you help/clarify? 🙂

Are you sure about this?

I also thought that might be the problem, and I would certainly have tried to fix it myself.

However, I just bought it, maybe razer support would have been fine with it, but I doubt I would have been able to return it after opening it if it wasn't the thermal paste.

It's okay to change/upgrade and even apply a thermal paste on a Razer Blade unit if a user knows how to do it. However, an issue arises after these changes resulting in damage or inability to make the device work will void Razer's limited hardware warranty. That's the reason why the team suggests sending the unit to our authorized service center. On the other hand, you should aim to keep your laptop's temperature below 90 degrees Celsius when gaming or using the software. If it goes above these thresholds, you may notice a degradation in performance because your processor is limiting its capabilities to help cool itself down (thermal throttling). For idle temperature, anything between 25-35 degrees Celcius is okay/cool if the Razer Blade is not running any resource-demanding programs. Please check the recommendation from this article and see if it helps. Otherwise, submit a case to our Support Team or send me a PM so I can help you initiate an investigation.

Thanks for the reply. PM sent. 🙂

I'm gonna have to try to fix this. Spiking temps causing BSOD. This is NOT during gaming, it will hit these temps just sitting "idle".
