Razer pro 17 fan noise

The fan noise is loud when running games. If you aren't running a game, I'm assuming something is running up the CPU %. If you bring task manager up, is something using up a lot of CPU? Do you have balanced profile selected in Synapse? Does it do the same plugged in and unplugged? If you click your battery icon, is the slider all the way to best performance, or best battery life? But even running benchmarks that run at 100% CPU, mine's not very loud really on balanced configuration. For general web surfing, my fan almost never runs unplugged and only a little when on active sites or videos when on mains.

2020 razer pro 17 inch running 3200mhz memory

You can enable the XMP 3200 memory profile in the BIOS if you upgrade to the latest 1.03. But note that it does disable undervoting if that's important to you. There's no way to go back to 1.00 once you upgrade. Also, I bought 32GB of Crucial Ballistix 3200 memory and upgraded to 1.03. Unfortunately, when I enable to XMP option in the BIOS, when I exit the bios, the laptop bricks, requiring pulling the CMOS battery to go back to default BIOS settings. So now I lost undervolting and can't run my memory faster either. Support hasn't been much help as of yet.

It's not a big deal to pop the small CMOS battery to reset the BIOS. It's very accessible. It did give me a bit of a scare though.

Razer Blade Pro 2020 - XMP bricks my laptop

I actually purchased the memory below and it worked great at full 3200MHz speed without XMP enabled on Bios 1.03. It's a lower voltage memory as well (1.2V vs 1.35V). Kingston Technology HyperX Impact 32GB 3200MHz DDR4 CL20 SODIMM (Kit of 2) Memory HX432S20IBK2/32

2020 Razer Blade 15 Memory Upgrade Recommendations

I used the HyperX 2x16GB in my razer pro 17 2020 and it runs at 3200 without me having to even go into the BIOS to enable XMP. Had tried Ballistix before and it ran at 2600 default and when I enabled the XMP 3200 speed in the BIOS it wouldn't boot up...had to pull the bios battery to get it back. Theorize the higher voltages of ballistix may have been an issue. Anyway, the HyperX are great!

2020 Razer Blade 17 Pro question for those who upgrade 2nd SSD

I removed it...actually popped right off easily for me. I didn't see one under the other SSD, so I assumed it was just a case stiffener/dampener or something. Bowing a populated PCB doesn't sound like a good thing to do.

poor battery life

Not sure which laptop you have, but on my blade pro, enabling Nvidia Optimus more than doubled my battery life. Only allows 60hz refresh rate on the 4k display rather than 120, but I'm seeing around 5-6 hours life just general surfing/office apps.

Razer Blade Pro 17 2020 4k 120hz G Sync

nyceisI'm surprised to hear this about the 4k vs the 300, particularly with regards to color and contrast. Do you have pictures you could post or share? I went the other direction, from the 300 hz 1080 to the 120hz 4k, and I have completely the opposite opinion. The 4k clarity, color and sharpness blew away the 1080p version IMO.

Razer Blade Pro 17 2020 4k 120hz G Sync

TheParadymeCould you maybe specify a bit more what you mean with the "better colours and better contrast" in the 1080p? In every review that's been measuring them, the 4K always has done a LOT better on these including nearly 100% Adobe RGB (something the 1080p doesn't even come close to), probably because the 4k display has been geared toward also content production. Can't speak for the other poster, but I think one factor is whether you like the anti-glare or not. I get addicted to the crispness and clarity of the 4k display and the colors are accurate and not oversaturated. Some people think "better" is more saturated but less accurate, so it comes down to personal preference. On contrast, I'll definitely have to disagree that the 1080 screen is better. If you're a gamer, you might appreciate the faster response time of the 1080p version Also, with this large screen, you can see the pixelization on the 1080p display which adds to the anti-glare lack of crispness.

Blade 2020 Advanced RAM Stuck At 2667mhz , Any Fix ?

Had the same issue with the Ballistix on my Blade Pro. Had to pull the CMOS battery. Returned and got the Kingston HyperX and it ran at 3200 even without enabling XMP profile. Running perfectly

[QUESTION] Razer Blade 17

Have the Blade 17 and yes the Thunderbolt port outputs from the 2080. I can play high end games at high framerates on my 4k display through my Caldigit TS3 Thunderbolt adapter with Synapse set to "Dedicated GPU Only"

Razer 17 Pro 2020 RAM Upgrade Options

I bought the 32GB 3200 HyperX (1.2v) for my Razer 17 Pro 2020 and I've not had a single crash despite hours of play with MSFS 2020 which is an extremely demanding game memory-wise. Bios 1.04. Runs at 3200 even not selecting XMP profile in the bios (confirmed using HWiNFO64). I had the same crashes you did with the Ballistix 1.35V

Razer 17 Pro 2020 RAM Upgrade Options

sergeantashThanks for the replies guys, @rjkrejci it's interesting that you're not seeing any crashing, Battlefield 5 is far more demanding that Flight Simulator in my experience due to the massive difference in on-screen action and raytracing features. I won't be trying the 3200 again, I'm tempted now to try the Vengeance next! I don't know the amount of stress the action and Raytracing puts on the System memory vs. the GPU and it's memory. MSFS 2020 has just a massive amount of textures and long distances. It's using 16-17 GB of RAM memory constantly while playing and I've had it running for many hours. Did you select the XMP profile or leave it at default? I left it at default, and it still runs at 3200.

Razer Blade 17 Pro 2020 black screen

Bummer...yes, mine would black out when it awoke from sleep and reverting the drivers to 452.06 solved that. Not sure what else for you to try.

Yea, putting in new memory takes a few iterations of POST before it makes it to windows. Agreed, the first time it does it it's a little stressful.

sergeantashYeah agreed I remember that with the 3200 HyperX, the Crucial RAM however just hung on black screen!! Will report back once new ram arrives! Yea, I had to pull the CMOS battery to bring it back to life with the Ballistix, even if I put the memory it came with back in.

Razer Blade 17 Pro 2020 black screen

Is there something in the newer drivers that you need? If not, I've advise against it if everything's working well. For me, I needed to go back to 452.06 to avoid black screen issues.

Razer Blade 17 NVMe 4.0 ssd Compatibility

It's interesting looking at that product. While the read speeds are 40% faster on a gen 4 MB, the write speeds are actually 80% faster on the Gen 3! I just went with the Samsung 970 EVO plus as well.

Razer Blade 17 NVMe 4.0 ssd Compatibility

krazeekirkWow good info! And you're referring to the Samsung 970 correct, just make sure. I'm just referring to the info on the Sabrent page you linked. It says that drive will have faster writes on Gen 3 than Gen 4 in the description. It is backward compatible with Gen 3 and would have similar speeds as the 970 at a similar price, so the Sabrent may be worth a shot for futureproofing anyway.

3200MHz RAM for Razer Blades (2020)

My Blade Pro 2020 (i7-10875) did ship with 2933 running RAM, but I put 32GB Hyperx 3200 Mhz memory and it is indeed running at the full 3200 Mhz at 1.2V according to CPUID and HWInfo

BLADE PRO 17 RTX 30 SERIES | Ultra-Fast. Ultra-Thin. Ultra-Powerful.

steangas far as i know, intel systems does not support anything more than 2933mhz ram natively due to CPU locking by intel. OC of ram is only restricted to high end desktop processors and MB using XMP. Thus on the laptop anything more would technically be a waste I have the 17 pro running 32 GB RAM running at 3200mhz (confirmed by HWINFO).
