2018 Razer Blade 15 Advanced 1060 - Kryonaut Worth It?

I've spent way too many hours trying to get some real world data on whether it is worth repasting with Kryonaut... I'm currently using a -.144 core/cache undervolt, -.050igpu. While gaming, I cap my turbos at 4.0, 3.8, and 3.7 with 4, 5, and 6 cores active. With ambient temps around 70f my PUBG temps stay at about 80-88c on the cpu, 75-83c on the gpu. This is with gaming mode active and auto fans. I've also "overclocked" the gpu via nvidia settings and get about 1650-1850 mhz in gaming mode. With ambient temps 80f and above, I have to cap my 6 core boost to 3.4 to stay in the 80c range on the cpu. While browsing the web in 70ish F ambient, the temps hang at around 47-52c on the cpu. I've read a lot of competing info regarding Kryonaut and MX-4. People warn of pump out with heatsinks that don't make flat and tight contact with the die. The vapor chamber design seems to not be ideal for these compounds. Kryo also seems vulnerable to pump out under frequent >80c temps. I do not want

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

So, I've run into a weird issue with the battery. Purchased the laptop about a month ago. I've used it mostly plugged in so far while gaming, but recently have been watching twitch streams unplugged. While just watching a stream, my battery estimate will show a random number 2hrs, then 1hr, then 7hrs, then 5 hrs. etc. I've got every power savings setting to max, undervolt, disabled turbos, etc. No background apps running. Screen brightness at 25%. HWmonitor shows my battery health at 98%. Windows 10, 1903 build. Something is randomly draining my battery, or the estimate is totally off, but I can't figure it out. I'm attempting to calibrate today, running an independent timer in the background. Will let the machine deplete itself and shutdown, then charge back up to full... Any ideas on what might be going on, what to look for? Battery troubleshoot shows no issues. The Nvidia GPU is NOT active, everything running off the iGPU. [edit] As I made this post, my estimate bounced from 2.75hr
