Lower life expectancy if using dedicated GPU mode all the time

Hello, I have a simple question, and perhaps a very "noobish" question. I have the new Razer Blade Base 2021 (3070), and I am curious regarding life expectancy / wear and tear when it comes to NVIDIA optimus (integrated GPU) vs Dedicated GPU. I prefer having dedicated GPU selected as it gives my laptop screen the ability to utilize the 165hz, which is a pleasure working with. This is even when just browsing, meaning 100% of the time the laptop will be in dedicated gpu mode. Is there any issues with having the option dedicated GPU mode selected always on? As in, is there any risk for lower life expectancy, due to the main GPU always being on, even during light loads? Or is this completely irrelevant, and the only thing I should be thinking about is the battery life? Thank you for your time!

Black Screen when switching to dedicated GPU. Razer blade 15 base 2021

I am about to lose my fucking mind. I JUST received my new Razer blade 15 base 2021 and there are 2 very clear issues already. Number 1: When switching to dedicated GPU in the Synapse program, the computer restarts (as it should), but when it comes to the login screen, the screen is black. External screen works fine, but my laptop screen is not functional.. Number 2: Inside the Synapse program, I cannot change my laptop refresh rate to 165hz (which it is). It is stuck at 60hz. This is the 2nd Razer laptop I have purchased in 6 weeks (first one had a broken battery DOA), and now this one has these issues. I am expecting a fast response on this, as this is completely unacceptable.

Booting Razer 15 2020 without power cable creates booting loop

When booting my new Razer Blade 15 2020 base model without the power cable connected, the computer starts to boot up. The keyboard lights up, but then after about 3-4 seconds, the computer shuts off again. Then it starts again on it's own, sits in this state for about another 3-4 seconds, and shuts down again. This is repeated for about 3-4 times, and then the computer starts normally. This is not an issue however if the computer is started with the power cable plugged in. Anyone have any ideas to what it could be? I have the newest Windows, newest Bio, and newest drivers.
