2014 Razer Blade 14" NoteBook FanControl Issue!

Hi Everyone!

i've just bought my first razer laptop ever a 2014" 14" blade! (i7, 870M, 8/512) i switched from a 15" touchbar macbook pro, because i lost my job and i had to sell the thing. So far i love it, it was dirt cheap, around 350 USD. But there is a problem with it. It has a rly bad cooling solution. I've repasted it with liquid metal, it gets better, but i have to ramp up the fans to 100%, because i dont want the GPU or the CPU to drop clocks while i play battlefield 3. So the problem starts from here. I can only control the fans with an application called NoteBook FanControl. I found an .XML file on a forum, and i had to put it in the folder of the application, since then i can control the fans, but there is one issue: my blade turns itself off in every 30-40 minutes, by itself! Its not overheating for sure, today for example, ive only watched movies, and it was still present. i uninstalled the application, it fixes the crashes, but then i cannot control the fans. The machine gets rly hot while gaming, like 90 degrees on the CPU and the GPU. I've tried hwinfo, it does not pick up the fans in the system 😞 Do you have any solution to the crashes, or could someone recommend me some application for controlling the fans in my blade?



Thanks!



p.s.: Sorry for my bad english, im from Hungary.

Did it have the issue of turning off after 30 minutes before you repasted it with liquid metal?

Does the issue only happen when playing games?
Yes, it had the issue before repasting it. If i uninstall NoteBook FanControl, the crashes are gone. So the problem is the program 100%. But i dont have any other solution for controlling the fans. Its rly weird situation. I dont get the reason why cant the end user control the fans? its ridiculous. this machine was 2K USD. Not for me, but for someone else 😃 But still. im rly dissapointed right now.
