Razer Blade Stealth(2019) - BIOS 1.06 changelist?

gambitingWow, I'm shocked they told you even this much. When I opened a support ticket to ask what exactly is in the 1.02 BIOS they just said they don't know. I don't know, I want to install 1.06 to hopefully get rid of the last remaining coil whine(I've given up hope that they can fix the speaker crackle without a hardware fix though), but yeah if the CPU performance is degraded even further then I don't know. I already have 1.02 EC but I'm still using the 1.01 BIOS. Yeah, I can understand that you are worried because of potential further CPU performance downgrade! I actually updated mine to 1.06 but my laptop already shipped with bios 1.02 so I though it can not get any worst. I haven`t run much testing yet. With Geekbench 4, I do not see any change though.

Razer Blade Stealth(2019) - BIOS 1.06 changelist?

figrin1I didn't install the EC. I'm scared about further performance hits. Honestly though, I know very little about how BIOS and EC interact, so my results may very well have to do with leaving the EC out. Rather than sending anyone down the wrong path with an uninformed recommendation, I think the best course of action for anyone interested in these updates is to actually get in touch with Razer Support and ask them what the updates are supposed to address (even though the chances of you getting a knowledgable, straight answer may not be great). I suspect these updates are meant to further address things like coil whine, speaker crackle, and battery discharge, albeit at the cost of performance ...would reeealllly love someone from Razer to chime in if I'm wrong though! :big_grin_: So this is the most I managed to get out from Razer Tech Support: "So, BIOS 1.06 will fix some minor coil, SMBIOS type, and latency fixes. The EC update boost Synapse performance, and ACPI / Power Fram

Yeah, I tried to contact Razer in the past but after two agents being even surprised that there is a BIOS upgrade I gave up on that...but I`ll try it again to see. I

Razer Blade Stealth(2019) - BIOS 1.06 changelist?

figrin1Okay, I installed the 1.06 BIOS. What I'm seeing is that the CPU now refuses to go above 15W, and my physics scores in Firestrike have gone from around 10,500 to 8,500. Super disappointing. (This is all in Creator Mode with Windows power profile set to the default Balanced) Hi figrin1! Thanks for checking!! This is really disappointing though. I was hoping that Razer finally addressed the power limitation issue after BIOS 1.02. Did you also install the new EC update (1.02) with it?

The all-new Razer Blade Stealth 13

LustralAll i hear from my keyboard most of the time is the cooling fans , which are set to 2600 RPM when in balanced mode. 100% no whine on mine. Have you checked out the 1.06 Bios released for the Stealth 2019 ? Im note sure what the new bios does as i cant find any notes on it. Did anyone actually install the latest Bios (1.06) and the new EC update (1.02)? What does it actually improve? Both was updated on Razer`s website on the 11th of July, 2019. http://drivers.razersupport.com/index.php?_m=downloads&_a=view&parentcategoryid=859&pcid=849&nav=0,350,849

ventureRubersecret257So, I got my Stealth. It has coil whine. I've read a lot of people have it too, and getting a new unit doesn't change that. It seems to be a permanent defect of the Stealth itself. Should I try to get a new unit or is it better to just get used to it? Is there anyone in here that does NOT have any coil whine at all? I`m probably lucky because my unit does not have coil whine at all. Only hardware issue is probably a bit of backlight bleed, but I can live with it.
