Access Denied trying to post?

Thanks for your reply, Caziel. Perhaps you can ask your system admins about my error? Another odd artifact is that, no matter how many times I log out/in or clear cookies, the form for that particular forum auto-fills with the first half of my question. My wild guess is that there's some SQL-interpreted characters somewhere angering the back-end server. Now on to my question ... Is a Razer Blade 15 w/RTX 2080 and OLED 4K display a "Studio Edition"? Hello everyone. I'm brand new to the Razer community, having just purchased a Razer Blade 15 Advanced OLED 4K laptop on Christmas Eve. I did lots of research on which Razer 4K laptop to replace my Alienware 15 R3, and settled on the Blade 15 with the RTX 2080 video card and OLED 4K display. I was also considering the Blade 15 with a Quadro RTX 5000 video card, called the "Studio Edition" on the Razer website, but for $1000 more, I decided to save a few bucks, and upgrade RAM and SSD later. I thought I understood the product lineup,

Razer Blade 2019 Adv - Moving Factory LCD Calibration

I was able to find Blade.icm under: C:\\Windows\\System32\\spool\\drivers\\color\\ The device "Display: 1. Generic PnP Monitor - Intel(R) UHD Graphics 630" has this file set as the default Color Management profile. For convenience, I've copied Blade.icm here. - Dave

Razer Blade 15 OLED - HDR question

If you're curious what HDR looks like on a 4K Razer Blade display, enable HDR in Display settings and then play the following YouTube video: or: You can tell you're watching HDR because YouTube will report "HDR" as the resolution (gear icon), rather than simply "HD" or "4K". As mentioned previously, enabling HDR in Windows does dim the average brightness of the display, but this can be compensated by using Fn-F9 (screen brightness). - Dave

How do I find my HDMI port on my device manage?

This is probably a silly question, and I'm completely clueless when it comes to Apple hardware, but ... Are you trying to connect the Razer Blade Stealth (a video source) to an Apple iMac desktop computer (also a video source)? If so, then it's not going to work. The only equipment you can connect to the HDMI port of a Razer Blade is a display device, such as a monitor, HDTV, or video projector. If "iMac" is short for Apple's line of video displays, then ignore everything I just said. :smile_: – Dave

What do you wish for in the 2020 Razer Blade?

Just bought an RB15 Advanced (mid 2019) and was surprised that they only come with a 512GB SSD. At this point in the 21st Century, 1-2TB is a minimum config even on laptops sold at Best Buy. More configs with more storage and RAM (16GB) would be a great start for 2020. As mentioned in the OP, an AMD Ryzen 7 4800H (45W TDP) or Intel 9th/10th generation i9 (e.g. unlocked i9-9980HK) would be pretty sweet, although the Intel i7 9750H is pretty snappy already. Lastly, as a Windows power user, the optional availability of Windows 10 Professional would be nice. - Dave

What is the Response Time on Razer Blade 15

I know this is the wrong RB15, but according to: https://support.razer.com/gaming-laptops/razer-blade-15-mid-2019-advanced/ "OLED, 100% DCI-P3, 1ms response time, 16:9 aspect ratio, touchscreen w/ 4.9mm bezel, individually factory calibrated" - Dave

What do you wish for in the 2020 Razer Blade?

AppZZerOSo what do you guys want to get in the new Razer Blade? Another thought: A nice, red RB15 Base for Valentine's Day. :big_grin_: Ever since wifey saw my new RB15 Advanced w/4K OLED display, she's been coveting one of her own. The biggest seller, interestingly, is the 15" screen and light-weight CNC aluminum chassis. I'd be willing to pick her up an RB15 with a 60Hz GTX 1660Ti for Valentine's Day or her birthday if it came in red. - Dave

Streaming VUDU/Netflix/Prime Video/Play Movies in 4K?

Thanks for the reply and confirmation that the Netflix app plays in 4K/HDR. I just tried playing "Black Mirror" and it's listed as [HDR]. Does that imply 4K+HDR? Are you aware of a hidden key sequence to ask Netflix to show the actual resolution of the video being played (akin to "Stats for Nerds" in YouTube)? - Dave

ViperGeekAre you aware of a hidden key sequence to ask Netflix to show the actual resolution of the video being played (akin to "Stats for Nerds" in YouTube)? I just answered my own question. According to: https://moviesdrop.com/netflix-keyboard-shortcuts-windows-and-macos/4849/ it's Ctrl-Shift-Alt-D. Sure enough, it starts out at 720p, but inches its way up to 2160x3840 and even displays HDR (you can tell by how bright the text is). Thanks again, Also Dave!!! - Dave

2019 15" i7 8750h CPU reaching 100c and RMA'd

DarthVader0I use throttlestop to undervolt and at times turn off turbo. Much of my tasks are such that I don't really miss the extra boost in horsepower but I do like the cooler temps :) I'm doing an 8-hour DVD rip to 1080p with DVDFab's Enlarger AI which cranks up the RTX 2080 to near 100% utilization the whole time. Oddly, its the CPU that's cooking at 90-100°C the whole time. I've got a laptop cooler running at high speed under it, but disabling Turbo Boost sounds like just the thing I need. Can you tell me which checkbox or slider I should change in ThrottleStop to [temporarily] disable Turbo Boost? UPDATE: Never mind. It was staring me right in the face: https://vipergeek.keybase.pub//images/Disable-Turbo.jpg - Dave

Wolverine Ultimate - Are the extra buttons mappable to keyboard shortcuts?

FWIW, I also found two aftermarket solutions for controller → keyboard mapping: https://www.rewasd.com/ https://github.com/AntiMicro/antimicro I just don't know if they support the Wolverine's extra M1-M6 buttons natively. - Dave

Wolverine Ultimate - Are the extra buttons mappable to keyboard shortcuts?

Thanks for the quick and thorough reply, @techBurntUmberweb507 . I really, really appreciate you helping me avoid a fairly expensive mistake. I just deleted the Wolverine Ultimate from my Amazon wish list. I'll be saving my pennies for an Xbox Elite Series 2 controller instead. - Dave

OK to keep Razer Basilisk Ultimate on charger?

Thanks for the reply. I'm not sure what would be causing that, but I'm also only a few weeks into Basilisk Ultimate ownership. It almost sounds like a connection problem. Does it do the same thing if you plug the USB cable directly into the mouse? What if you turn it off before charging it? So far, mine's been behaving itself. I just don't know if I'm cooking the battery by keeping it charged all the time. Razer Support??? – Dave

Unable to register product - Invalid product number

When I had this problem, I had to find the model and serial number on the box, rather than the one on the mouse itself. I was finally able to register it. – Dave

THUNDERBOLT™ 4 DOCK CHROMA | Connect. Expand. Empower

I don't recall seeing this mentioned in the thread or FAQ (apologies if I missed it), but Thunderbolt 4 is only supported on Intel's Tiger Lake, 11th Generation platforms. And currently (again, AFAIK), none of the Razer Blade laptops use 11th Generation CPUs. Is this a "buy it now, and use it later" product, or (for example) can I fan out my existing RB15 Advanced 2019 model's Thunderbolt 3 port to three additional Thunderbolt ports using the Razer Thunderbolt 4 Dock? – Dave

Who has stable 64GB experiences on their Razer Blades (any model)?

It seems you've already got your answer (yes, it works). I'll just leave another 64GB upgrade success story here. Upgraded my RB15 Advanced mid-2019 model with: HyperX Impact 64GB 2666MHz DDR4 CL16 SODIMM (Kit of 2) Laptop Memory and it's been running just fine. Yes, total overkill, but still tickles my obsessive personality when I type 'systeminfo'. – Dave

Razer Basilisk Ultimate charging dock sold separately?

Thank you! I'm kinda annoyed at myself that I couldn't find this the first time. I swear I perused https://www.razer.com/shop/mice/gaming-mice-accessories for quite a while before resorting to asking the community. – Dave P.S. The only irony is, with shipping to the U.S., the charging dock is $60 from Razer. On Amazon right now, a Basilisk Ultimate with charging dock is $71 with free shipping.

Sye_The-VieDodge Viper sure is a Beast of a car I think, RAZER Viper ULTIMATE would have suited you more @ViperGeek Ha! Very true. My wife has a Viper Ultimate in quartz (pink) to match her RB15. Yes, the 1997 Dodge Viper GTS is definitely fun to drive, although not so much in the snow (New England). – Dave
