2018 Razer Blade 15 Advanced 1060 - Kryonaut Worth It?

The Kryonaut and repad did end up dropping the temps about 5c across the board. ~38c-41c browsing the web, 85c max while in gaming mode in PUBG with a 3.6ghz 6-core cap. This after going back in and repasting using the spread method. I used the line method the first try and it was way too much. Not as much as stock, but still too much. Using the spread, I was able to create a very thin film, with no overflow. I'm pleased. I'm not convinced the repad is worth the money and effort though.

2018 Razer Blade 15 Advanced - Weird Battery Drain/Estimate Issue

I seem to have fixed it. I'm now getting a consistent ~10hr estimate @100% on Better Battery mode. It actually reads only half that in Battery Saver mode, which is super weird... I don't understand what that's about, but the previous issue was some program eating up battery in the background. I think it was either Razer Cortex and affiliated programs (Synapse/Chroma), or FutureMark, a 3DMark addon. Like I said, 10hr estimate in Better Battery mode now, and holding... Anyone know what sort of bug would make Battery Saver eat up more battery? [edit] Nvm, Battery Saver seems to be giving a slightly longer (15min) estimate than Better Battery now... Maybe some background task kicked in coincidentally when I switched modes and has since turned back off... [edit 2] After 5 min in Battery Saver the estimate tanked to 5hrs. Put it back in Better Battery and it's holding at 10hrs again. Something is kicking on while in Battery Saver for some reason?...

2018 Razer Blade 15 Advanced 1060 - Kryonaut Worth It?

I decided to give it whirl, for science. Repasted with Kryonaut, repadded with Fujipoly ultra extreme blahblahblah... The stock paste was definitely way too much. Surprising, really. Oozing everywhere... No discernible difference in temps thus far post repaste, unfortunately. It's 80f here today though, so it's hard to gauge against my normal operating temp baseline. I'd say maybe I squeezed out -3c? But, yeah, I'd chalk a repaste/repad up to a waste of time and money on these machines. If your stock paste temps are really out of hand, maybe itd be worth it? Probably should just RMA at that point. But, if your temps are decent, I think the only thing that might benefit you is turning the fan speed to max if you can strand it, playing in balanced mode too, I suppose. LM would obviously improve temps too, but the copper and nickel react with the gallium over time from what I've read. Anyways, maybe this will be helpful for someone in the future.

2018 Razer Blade 15 Advanced 1060 - Kryonaut Worth It?

Hmmm, yeah, that makes sense. And, I'm with you... A few FPS, at best, is not worth an extra 5c+... I'd really love to get my CPU temps down into the high 70s though, for longevity's sake... I just want to know if pump out is a legitimate issue with Kryo (or any aftermarket high-end paste) with the Blade. If I know that I can paste it and forget it, I'd be happy to give it a shot. I appreciate your input! Good food for thought!
