2019 Razer Blade 15 FHD (144 Htz) vs. 4k

Just noticed, thanks very much and wise choice indeed to keep the 4k model. Your best bet to talk to me about specific stuff is to post on the YouTube channel, website being developed by myself right now or open a conversation with me. Will be offering a lot of options very soon to help people like yourself who have questions or tech issues. If your bios doesn't recognise the device then nothing else after that will. Boo hiss. Do you have a link to the actual item you purchased and if so send it to me.

2019 Razer Blade 15 FHD (144 Htz) vs. 4k

just found this So I got this because the price to performance was great. Almost the same as the Samsung but for $50 less. Only issue I had was putting this in my laptop. I had the GS65 Stealth Thin from MSI and it had issues booting. I also had a Samsung 970 EVO+ and didn't have the same issues. Installing this nvme did not allow my system to boot. After tinkering around for 1 hour I decided to put it in an external enclosure and format it then install it. Voila that did the trick. A few days later after a shutdown and trying to boot the computer back up it would not. I thought maybe it was because of the RAM I had gotten which were the ballistix that advertised at 2666 but was actually only running at 2400 that was causing the problem. That wasn't the case. I pulled out this nvme and my computer booted back fine. For some reason the format did not stick so decided to return it. Ended up just getting another 970 EVO+ 1TB. Some users might have different experiences but instead of tryi

Feature Request for 2018 RB 15: Silent mode

If I was Razer I wouldn't change how it is. The Blade is a performance device and needs to be protected. If you want silent you need to buy a much larger device which takes much longer to heat up. I understand you are way more advanced user than most but there are too many people out there who would tick the silent box and cause issues. I have the 2018 model which is more sensitive and never find the fans that annoying. Only time I get annoyed is the up and down when it throttles but with tweaking and understanding anyone should be able to get a constant fan speed.

BLADE 15 - TECH GUIDE - MORE FPS OR COOLER

Thanks for the question. Yes the Intel on chip GPU gets done as well. The quick screen shot has the go to settings everyone should be able to get. If you want to see a bit more check out my channel and watch all the other uploads I have. The Throttlestop one is a good start and I am bringing out a more informed updated tech guide in 3 weeks or so.

RAZER LIAN PC 011 - Computer CASE - Unboxing fun

Thank you for a wonderful comment. I am committed to doing more to help people who own and looking to own Razer products. Subs are slow but growing and I always reply to those who ask questions. Building a website to support the channel as well to offer more connectivity. Big learning curve for me but fun. I reached out to Razer this week to see if they can help now that I have a good number of uploads and believe I can offer something different for them. We will see. Thanks again, means a lot.

RAZER LIAN PC 011 - Computer CASE - Unboxing fun

Thanks for posting a comment and a good alternative for people to compare. I have a similar case at the moment inwin 805 which feels very similar to the EVGA dg-77 white. From my experience and observation which may help you decide either way are. Lian Wider - may be an issue - If not, benefits Power supply goes underneath the mother board out of site Gives 3 direct outside air flow radiator placements The rest is personal choice and if not for the Razer connection the EVGA would have a big bonus on the RGB side. Not sure if the side GPU mount comes included or extra like Lian but that's another consideration to focus on if important. Post what you decide and if so why. We are all friends here.

RAZER LIAN PC 011 - Computer CASE - Unboxing fun

JoikansaiCan’t wait to see that empty box fulfilled with some decent hardware and cool rgb. Have already hardware list? I’m not Desktop guys but rtx2080ti already comes on my mind if I should build a tower. What monitor would come on your setting? I'm not looking to put new kit in mine just yet, more transferring my current PC bits (3 years old) to this case. Monitor - 21:9 Ultra Wide is a no brainer and 3440x1440 min. Lol with the 2080ti two would be right. Or 1 21:9 and 1 16:9 4K then you can plays games on the 21:9 and watch 4k movies etc on the 16:9

Azicre, every ones nightmare. So is the drive booting but BSOD or hanging? Have you tried F8 safe mode? Do you want the drive as was? Are you prepared to rebuild the drive? Did you see my backup and recover videos (albiet a bit dated) and is that an option. Have you pressed F12 which flashed on the top left on power on and tried factory reset? These Questions will help me or others help you before the option to send it back.

You don't say what the new drive manufacture is. If its an Addlink NVME drive it wont work. Solution is to use the built-in "Create a recovery drive" in Windows.

its like that to make it more aesthetically pleasing. I have an idea on how to improve it but I would have to speak to design team and they probably a) don't talk to anyone and b) no one likes other peoples great ideas these days.

Cloned SSD won’t boot

1st of all you don't need the enclosure which may help you get past the issue. I have done a video (bit out of date and new one coming soon) that shows the method at least how to do this. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLA31rku1BK2rWzOEHRLSWsK0QhPFG49wA There seems to be issues cloning from the new blades on to some nvme's. I be a bit surprised if the Samsung is one though. This comment comes from bimmerboi Finally found a way to make it work. I used the built-in "Create a recovery drive" in Windows. This prompted me to do a full system backup on a usb flash drive. I then switch drives, did a clean install of Windows, then recovered using the flash drive. It was a long process but it worked.

You will find a lot of Razer help on my videos as I am dedicated to helping Razer folk like myself. F9 boots up into Drive recovery mode and erases the Boot and C drive back to how it was when shipped. If that doesn't work it don't sound good and you could have a faulty drive. But put that to the back of your mind for now. you say you backed everything up is that like imaged each volume separately with macrium? If so then that is way to recover in your situation. Your boot partition table BCD may be damaged and trying this may help https://www.lifewire.com/how-to-rebuild-the-bcd-in-windows-2624508

Does the bios actually see the drive make model and sn etc. What's the red bit on the nvme, looks like felt tip pen? I am pretty sure the pads don't conduct electricity. I would have to open my case and run a resistance meter through them to prove it though. I was wondering what the white paper bit was, its the sticker that's supposed to go onto the nvme chips. Why they do that I don't know as it acts as a thermal insulator. You could clean with a kitchen towel or something around the paper. Then pull the paper off. Lightly dab the towel with the gunk onto the nvme chips. This should leave enough to contact between what's left on the base to the nvme. You could order another pad and replace it. I don't know what the thickness should be but I do remember people adding it themselves on the initial batch of RB15's that didn't have it. Another thought it might not be a pad but thermal paste they used?

Its in effect a clone of the original drive and you will boot up as normal. You will have an added partition which you can format as D: etc. Why I said it may work better is that when you boot up the bios and interface is exactly as it would be and removes the usb unit from the equation.

If its not seeing it in the bios then its probably dead. A thermal pad melts at a very high temp and there are thermals inside the nvme to stop it getting that hot. My guess is they put the nvme in, then put paste on top of it, them put the lid on. The way its smudged looks like the lid going on at an angle and then being straightened.

The original RB15 was thinner than the current one and it originally didn't have any paste/pad on the nvme. As there are no air vents (which I think is a design fault) the nvme got very hot and made the palm rests on the RB15 too hot to use. People then put a pad to make it touch the bottom case to use it as a thermal dissipater. Support got wind of this and then shipped the RB15's with this. The next gen is 1mm thicker and from pictures uses a pad stuck on the case bottom. If you got a gunky paste and now buying a new nvme I would get a pad and stick it on the case. But I think it has to be really thin. I will look into it for you if you like?

Ok, checked the manual, one I could find online and no mention on how to upgrade. I don't think you need to disconnect the battery but if you feel comfortable disconnecting it then I would recommend to do so. I will check what I can find about the pad and get back to you. PS I just watched a DELL XPS 15 disk swap and it had thermal pad stuff to the base over the nvme as well from the manufacture.

Luckily I spent forever researching about the RB15 when it came out (I waited for the 4k) and remember the NVMe thermal issue. Important for you to know it doesn't have to touch the case but will be even better if it does. The pads spread the hot part of the NVMe across the whole part of it. Treat the NVMe like a mini motherboard, its CPU get very hot and needs a large heat spread. Here is a link to people who have done it https://www.reddit.com/r/razer/comments/8rs56i/rb_thermals_sanity_check/ From this if you want to play safe put a 1.5mm on top. 3mm if you want to touch the case. Important note though if its too thick you are applying pressure to the NVMe and that will go to the connector! To be absolutely safe, if it was me I would do the 1.5mm on top, and 0.5 on the bottom. IF it proves too hot or is throttling, get some paste and put a say 3-4 rice shaped lumps along the pad. As to which pads, search for nvme thermal pad I found some by Adwits which do a 9 pack of different t

Well that's good news and was luckily expected. Glad I was of some help. Learned some things myself and will pass on. As to drivers, go here https://support.razer.com/gaming-laptops Pick your model and it should be 2018 advanced. Drivers And I would install as many of those as you can. Drivers that is. Don't do the bios and updater etc.

When you do a partition (volume) recovery from an image it destroys what was there. It does NOT merge like file restores. I have actually as this comes up quite a bit, ordered a new Addlink 1TB NVMe and an USB C enclosure to try it out myself.
