Blade Stealth Late '19 GTX Edition - Planned Firmware Update To Increase CPU To 25W When Using eGPU?

Sorry, this forum won't let me quote people for some reason, but thank you @figrin1, that sounds like the most viable solution currently available to me. Is there a guide anywhere I can follow to ensure I'm setting it up in the correct way? Thanks too @Joikansai, I did see that guide before, but it looks like there's a lot that could go wrong there and I don't feel comfortable with changing so many settings (especially if there's a key F/W update or something) + I haven't seen anyone say they've specifically implemented it on a late 2019 model. I'm still frustrated Razer haven't addressed this issue to be honest - don't heavily market the Razer Core as a companion device to your Blade laptops if you're not going to properly support them... Is there any way I can talk directly to a Razer engineer? (I've already talked to a support agent and received a generic response)

It won't let me edit my post for some reason (access denied error) - but an easier alternative would be to just have the voltage ramp up to 25W if it's plugged into power. Not as convenient as having it switch depending on whether the eGPU is connected or not, but far more convenient than going into the BIOS every time.

Ideally I'd like it to automatically switch between 15W and 25W depending on whether the eGPU is plugged in or not (which would also be the safer option too), manually changing it in the BIOS is far from ideal, but do you know if there's a (late-2019 model) guide anywhere detailing how to do so?

I don't think there should necessarily be a manual option as it could be dangerous with the dGPU as you said. Surely it'd be able to make the distinction between the dGPU and an eGPU though and adjust the maximum clock speed accordingly. A lot of people are buying the Stealth to use with an eGPU and are paying top dollar for it, imo it should be a priority for Razer...

That's it really, they just need to update the FW to be able to tell the difference between the dGPU and an eGPU - there shouldn't be issues with heat when upping the clock speed as the dGPU won't be used at all. I heard that manually disabling the dGPU doesn't always work as intended - also, the whole reason I'm selling my desktop to replace with an eGPU is for convenience, having to go through that process every time totally defeats the purpose. It's something Razer should change on their end, especially as they encourage using an eGPU with the Stealth they should be able to properly support it.

The thing is, with the 10th gen CPU the newer Stealth has the ability to work far better with eGPUs, but at the moment Razer has unnecessarily stifled that with the artificial limitation they've put in place. Luckily it can easily be rectified with a firmware update, I just wanted to see if Razer has publicly acknowledged the issue and if they're working on a fix. It's a shame, because it's the only thing preventing me from being very happy with my purchase...

M-S-GThe 13" 2019 is not available in Max Q Design? Unless you mean the one with the 1650 but that's without Max Q as far as I know. Which one do you have? The Blade Stealth or the 15" version? Because with the 15" version, a Core X doesn't add any value because the graphics card is too dampened. The internal one, no matter whether 1660 or from RTX 2060 is more powerful in the blade than the RTX 2070 in the Core X case? Or do I get it wrong again? It if indeed a 1650 Max-Q - check out the link in my post for all the info in regards to my question mate
