New Razer Blade Advanced 2020 Owner with some questions (performance and quiet mode) | Razer Insider
Skip to main content
Hello everyone,



owning a new Blade Advance 2020 (2080 Super MaxQ and a 300Hz Panel) I'm having to questions concering performance and noise level.



1) Using the newest drivers, setting CPU to Boost and GPU to high and by using the 100Watt VBios on my GPU I get 19000 on firestrike.



Are these results fine?



While stress-testing, on CPU Core is going up to 90°C, while the 8th core only got to 78°C.

Are these differences normal?



2) Is there any whisper mode that I can activate on the blade?



No matter what I'm doing during surfing or working with word: The fans are kicking in often and stay on for quite a while.

Plugging off the blade helps a little bit, but even only on battery the fans kick in at around 50-56°C which is much too early from my point of view.



Unfortunetaly the CPU cores are always at 4 Ghz when plugged in via AC Adapter or USB-C Charger/Monitor.



I played around with ThrottleStop and even set the cooling options in Windows to "passive". But the fans are still kicking in much too often, staying on for about 5-10 minutes for absolutely no reason.



I really hope to get a similar quiet mode, as I had it with my old Razer Blade 14 (7700HQ).



I hope you can help me out here. I already searched the forums and boards but didn't get the perfect solution.
My Blade Pro 17 quiet mode works even when gaming. All I do is set the performance sliders all the way left (not sure if Blade Advanced has this. Fans never ramp up unless there is a CPU hungry background task kicking in.



PS: Overclocked GPU, best Firestrike run is 18989 on a 2070 Max-Q




The Razer Blade Pro 17 isn't comparable with the Razer Blade 15. It's cooled better, because of its bigger Chassis.



I don't get it, why the fans already kick in after reaching 55 °C, no matter if plugged in or not. Razer should offer a New Quiet/Silent Mode with an strictly Limited TDP/Clockspeed, allowing the components to get a little bot hotter without the fans kicking in. Other laptop firms like Asus already did the trick.

Try creating a power profile/plan with Maximum processor state set to 99% (To avoid the processor Turboboost and keep it at Base Clocks). The problem with the i7-10875H is its temps flactuate badly, especially when a single or two cores kicks to almost 5 GHz.

This unfortunetaly doesn't help enough. I already used ThrottleStop with aggressive SST Settings and disabling turbo boost.



The Main Problem is the aggressive fancurve, so that the fans already kick in at 55°C for no reason until they reach 45°C.

Only Razer can solve this problem by BIOS or Synapse.

How about Synapse Performance profile with Fixed Fan speed to your taste?
And btw, make sure intakes, fans and the Heatsink fins are clean....A blower does or compressed air can will do the trick. I do it once a week.

Fixed Fan speed = Fans are always active = not silent. The manual Profile is also louder than the Auto-Profile.

Thanks for your advice, but my Blade is practicly New.



I guess Liquid Metal wont solve this problem.
Even with plus ThrottStop settings (SST on 192), the fans kick in at 55C. The Razer Synapse Program is simply a bad joke. Once the fans kicked in, they won't stop until I change between "balanced" and "custom" in my Synapse Program.

Nice scores and nice question, yes it’s on around 55 degrees kick in and liquid metal won’t also solve it since how cool the system it’ll reach that temperature point anyway on some workload even non intensive. I really understand that and been waiting for improvement since 2018 literally😂. My temporary fix is just unplug the power and let system throttle down since on battery power the fans aren’t so loud sometimes unnoticeable. Yes I’m also praying that since it’s maxq design, Razer should optimize the function of wishper mode. I’m not digging it out the 15 recently but maybe check on nvidia experience if there is some options there that might help to shut the fans up, tested before for in game noise but the lag experience isn’t worth at all, maybe on your model it’s different. Sorry still on 2018 advanced 1070maxq, setting are a bit different depends on models.
Hello,



I have the same exact model as yours. However, I've never tried pushing my system to the absolute limits but I could answer a few questions to the best of my experiences.



1) The results seem pretty okay. But they tend to throttle quite a lot when super-hot. My system temperature once hit 103 degrees C, and almost half my cores were throttled backwards and were at 100C.

So yours is considered very decent.



2) There's no low-power mode from what I know. However, you can try the following:

- Open the power slider and set it to Better Battery or Power Saving mode.

- Go to Nvidia GeForce Experience app, and under Settings, enable Whisper Mode for the GPU.







Another effective way is probably get a laptop cooler to put underneath your Blade.



I hope these answers your questions on the Blade 15 Advanced 2020.

I don't have problems with heat, I only have problems with the fans already kicking in at 55°C for no reason.

Perhaps I'll unlock the Bios, being able to undervolt the CPU.

Perhaps this could to the trick.

I see...but you'll have to be cautious tinkering with them. Best of luck,
