10th Gen CPU Undervolting
I recently noticed other Laptop manufacturers have started allowing a degree of undervolting on their 10th Gen Intel equipped systems. HP and Eluktronics have opened up users to undervolt their systems, for which these Thin and Light chassis would benefit from Thermally.
I hope Razer follows the suit to allow a safe margin of undervolt to their systems, to allow us to squeeze more from our units without the added heat, or just make them run a bit quieter.
Do you want Razer to allow undervolting of their Intel 10th Gen Laptops

Typically Razer runs their CPUs a little cooler compared to their competitors (like Gigabyte and MSI) but it would be nice to have that option.
SukiSuki16Yes by lowering the power limits (reflects on their benchmarks). I hope Razer listens...every degree counts! haha

Undervolting 10th gen CPUs don't reduce temps so much as the CPU will use up the thermal gains from them to boost higher. So performance improvements yes, thermal not so much.
xc68000Never had the chance to undervolt mine as I got mine with the Black screen issue when switching to full dedicated GPU thus I upgraded the BIOS immediately. Would be great still to squeeze a little more performance per watt with the same temps.

dudepare01Disabling iGPU will black out your screen because it (intel gpu) controls internal screen. Unfortunately due plundervolt (security) 10th gen intel cpu can’t be undervolted, however it’s similar with amd no undervolting. Maybe use balance mode since it’ll limit cpu tdp to reduce heat, I’m doing this on my 2018 model and so far it runs great, no thermal throttle and keep in mind that blade cassis has also heat dissipation function so depends on room temperature It might be hotter than other plastic mix cassis. Benchmark scores might be low but probably it’ll be better measuring on real word use case like gaming FPS, I think we don’t play cinebench every day do we?

JoikansaiThe Blade pro can disable Nvidia Optimus and run only on the Nvidia Graphics. I run mine via Synapse on the 25W CPU setting and max GPU power, the CPU never causes bottlenecking on my games anyway. Temps are good but could be better (zero undervolt @25W runs around 75 to 80C, pushing it to 35W runs above 80C and maxing it to full 90W then it reaches above 90 while gaming)

dudepare01Blade pro is a bit different, it has mux switch to disable optimus tech and other blade models doesn’t have, not sure on 2019~model, but on 2016~2017 which has g sync they don’t have optimus and internal is controlled by nvidia gpu. Pretty good temperature for laptop btw your temperature, 2018 advanced with vapor chamber with gaming mode, it’s definitely hits 90ish on some demanding titles, so undervolting and balanced 25 watt is needed (cyberpunk I’ve even to limit turbo boost or even disable it), apparently current blade has better cooling solution most probably better fans rpm. I’m good as long it doesn’t shut down while playing game like cyberpunk (yes once system shutdown on default setting turbo boost can hit max).
