Razer 14 (2021) battery hours

Run hwinfo to check your power usage when using your laptop. Should typically run between 4-6w (idle) to 11-15w (light usage). If its higher than that 20-30w it means some program is keeping your cpu or gpu active in the background that is affecting your battery life

Razer should make a updated razer blade stealth... who's with me?

Couldnt wait any longer and got the 11th gen stealth on boxing day sales. For the price im really happy with it. Its mostly for the portability anyway and I still get 55-60fps in AC valhalla on low/med settings. Dont notice that much difference vs high anyway which drops frames to 45fps. Ghosting could be better but I only notice it if im really looking for it and only in fps games.

poor battery life

Do you have any gpu monitoring app on? MSI afterburner or nzxt? Those apps can keep the dgpu active and not allow optimus to switch to the intel gpu for basic tasks thus shortening battery life

15 Advanced 2020 Battery life

Mines not a 2020 model. But Ive had a bug before on my 2019 advanced where it would not go below 35w on idle as well. A complete reset fixed it and I now sit around 7-10w on low usage (browser open and light browsing or typing up an assignment on word). I get anywhere from 8-10hrs on my 80wh battery now.

Brand new Razer Blade 15 2020 temps

That is pretty odd for an advanced model to be hitting 95c. Even at stock settings it shouldnt go above 85c. Are your vents blocked by anything?

Brand new Razer Blade 15 2020 temps

Did you get the base model blade? For a base model that sounds about right if you havent undervolted a little as the base models dont have the vapor chamber cooling. If you got the advanced model with the vapor chamber cooling it shouldnt go above 80. With my blade 15 2019 advanced with a -0.144mv undervolt I usually hover around 68-72c and very short spikes to 76-78 when playing World of Warcraft. Never above 80 running any games. Just try to elevate the laptop a little to leave the vents clear and keep the laptop open and it should do its job cooling itself. I use a hercules DG4000B laptop stand so the vents have plenty of space to push out the hot air and the advanced model vapor chamber reduces temps by at least 10-15c compared to base model

BLADE STEALTH 13 | Ultrabook Size, Full Gaming Laptop Power

Its about the displayport version supported by the TB3 controller. I can get up to 3440x1440@120hz as thats the bandwidth allowed by DP1.2 which the razer blade 15 alpine ridge controller has. But 3440x1440@144hz exceeds the DP1.2 bandwidth so I am not able to get 144hz

2020 Stealth 120hz 1650ti Tear down SSD and Thermal Grizzly kryonaut paste upgrade.

Hey. Are you able to confirm if the thunderbolt 3 port is a titan ridge or is it still running on Alpine Ridge? I currently have a Blade 15 2019 that is running on Alpine Ridge that limits Displayport to 1.2 and I need DP 1.4 to run my Ultrawide monitor at its full capability. Luckily the Blade 15 has a miniDP 1.4 port but I was thinking of downsizing for the portability and wanted to confirm if the new stealth has Titan Ridge Thunderbolt 3 port

Razer Blade Pro 17 2020 4k 120hz G Sync

In the nvidia control panel there should be an option at the top to display when gsync is active. If you check that and lod a game the “GSYNC ON” words should appear on the left of your screen. If it isnt there means GSYNC isnt on

Razer Blade 15 Advanced + Ultrawide + Core x - is it worth it?

Nope. Save the money. You wont get much more performance (10-20% more fps maybe) from a core even with a 2080Ti in there. You can buy a whole other laptop by the time you drop enough money to make any impact. The 2070maxq is good enough for the x34p.

Much Worse than Expected Battery Life on Razer Blade 15

Not sure if it was the recent windows update or updating my bios to 1.05 and EC to 1.03 but my Razer Blade 15 Advanced 2070 maxq now has crap battery life. From 6-7 hrs down to 2 hrs with idle usage at 30-34w whether MSI afterburner is on or off

Razer Blade 15 2019 TB3 Controller

I was connecting through a TB3 dock and yes it was via displayport. For now Ive decided to just connect via the miniDP direct to the monitor and use a USB hub instead. 1 extra cable but at least I get 144hz 3440x1440

TDP drop instead of FPS boost when lowering resolutions - 2080 Max Q

Have you checked intel graphics control panel settings? There is an option in there that limits framerates to X amount on battery. Im guessing that option is checked thats why you are getting the capped fps regardless of resolution on battery

Dire need of help.

The blade stealth does not have a discrete gpu so its not recommended for playing games. You might be able to get playable framerates if you lower the resolution to 720p and set game graphic settings to medium or low. for 144hz output to external screen you will want to get a TB3 to displayport adapter ideally. Not sure if the hdmi on the early blade stealth is 2.0 which can output 144hz to a 1080p screen. But on my blade 15 RTX 1060 before I could output 144hz 1080p via hdmi

UNDERVOLTING QUESTIONS FOR BLADE 15 ADVANCE (2019)

For a start I see your speedshift EPP value is at 0 which makes your cpu run at full clock all the time. Change that to 128 and you should see a significant improvement. Also in the first screenshot you should adjust your turbo rates to something like : 1 core active : 38 2 : 38 3: 37 4: 37 5: 36 6: 36 not definitive you can adjust as you like but thats a start

Longevity of Razer Blades

Depends what you do with it. Ive owned 3 Razer Blades and I upgrade every 1.5-2years. But thats only because I want a certain improvement over the previous model. e.g went from the Blade stealth + core setup to the Blade 14 with 1060 gpu as thats when the laptop gpus first started being comparable to desktop gpu’s. That Blade 14 lasted till they came out with the 144hz screens and I upgraded to the Blade 15 last year and still using it with no issues and I can see myself using it for another 1-2 years easily unless there is some new tech that I really must have. But back to your question even if I was still on my Blade 14 which was bought in early 2017, I dont think id have any issues performance wise. The gpu is actually better cos its not the max q version and the cpu was a 7700hq which compared to my current 8750H i dont really notice that much of a difference. So unless you are the kind who absolutely want the latest tech that is up for offer the Blades can last quite a while. T

I feel you bro. Razer needs to let us have that option in synapse to show dock lighting based on battery level while having our other peripherals have advanced lighting effects

Razer Blade "15 2018 Thunderbolt dock

Lenovo Thunderbolt 3 dock. Been using for about 2 years with different versions of the Blade. Will still be a 2 cable setup though as you need to connect the power brick cable as well as the TB3 cable. But I have my 34” alienware ultrawide / mouse / keyboard / usb dac plugged into it with 1 spare usb port at the front for thumb drives etc and I dont use the ethernet port
