[UPDATE] Razer Blade 15 ft. Intel 9th Gen processor

Can’t you change the power limit on Afterburner like to 110%? Or is it grayed?

The award-winning Razer Blade 15 just got even better. We’re harnessing the power of NVIDIA GeForce RTX 20-series graphics—bringing you the next generation of power, portability, and performance: http://rzr.to/blade



This update brings a new level of graphic performance to the Razer Blade 15 Advanced Model. Choose between the GeForce RTX 2060, 2070 Max-Q, or 2080 Max-Q in a thin and light form. Precision crafted with durable lightweight aluminum, the Razer Blade is still the world’s smallest 15.6’’ gaming laptop. What’s more, our advanced vapor chamber cooling system works to manage heat without sacrificing performance.

New to the Razer Blade 15 is a Windows Hello-capable IR camera for easy and secure logins via facial recognition. Its improved dual front-firing speakers also feature Dolby Atmos for immersive audio and deeper bass response.

Mine makes these sounds, too. But only when plugged in.

Charging Beep, maybe? For some reason I think most chargers work like AEDs. Charge, Clear, inject power into battery.

Just picked up a Razer Blade with the 2080 and wanted some input on the performance I am seeing. Best I am seeing from Timespy is 5710. Even taking into account overclock, my numbers seem quite lower than others on here. Anything I am missing?

As a follow up to my previous comment. With a auto set OC curve on afterburner I am seeing 11785 on fire strike, which is lower than I expected.

Can you upload the results? It’s by click compare online, after running it and copy paste the link here.

Sure, here is the link. Thanks for the help on this.

Are you limiting Turbo clock? Physical score is way too low for 6 cores 8750H. Try also gaming mode.

Here is the results post settings change you recommended. Its a huge improvement. Thanks for steering me in the right direction.

I see, there’s 3 mode on 2019 model, balanced is balance between cpu and gpu for better thermal, creator seemly put more power to cpu, and gaming mode put more performance to gpu and probably cpu as well. I’ve 2018 model with only 2 mode balanced and gaming, a bit different since gaming mode automatically add overclocking value to gpu which 2019 model seemly not. So you have add it manually like with afterburner to gain more gpu performance, but note that cpu should not reach high 90ish, thermal throttle area, so there won’t be performance drop.

Happy to help, it can still be improved if you want to. But if it has great cpu and gpu temperature, like max on 80ish range and you’re happy with the performance I would keep that setting. 20K Firestrike graphics score is already blow up last year top Blade model 1070mq score with a decent overclocking and other tweaking.

I'd love to see how far I can take the performance on this thing. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Hi guys,

I need some help and advise here. I have recently purchased a Razer Blade 15 RTX2070 model, which is my very first gaming laptop and my first PC after so many years. I have read through this thread and watched all the youtube videos and reviews, etc. I am really happy and excited about my new toy, however I am a bit confused when it comes to gaming. I saw a lot of people commenting on how cool the temperatures are compared to previous models but I have nothing to compare it with. I have only tried playing Far Cry 5 so far and on 'Ultra' settings I had an average of 78 fps when I ran the in-game benchmark, which is great I think. However, I noticed that the area above the keyboard gets extremely hot (in my opinion) that it almost hurts to touch it. I was curious about the actual temperatures, so I downloaded and installed the HWiNFO64 program to monitor it. I was shocked to see temps approaching 100 degrees, I do not think that is normal.

I have Razer Central / Cortex / Synapse installed with performance mode set to Balanced and screen refresh rate at 144 Hz. Whenever Razer Cortex is not running, I have the ability to select a power mode when clicking on the battery icon on Windows taskbar. That one is set it Best Battery life, but I don not see this option after when Razer Cortex is running. Which one do you recommend to use?

I have also installed and tried Intel's Extreme Tuning Utility software and ran the benchmark in it (without modifying any parameters of course). I got really disappointing temperatures here as well. Is there something wrong with my config, should I send it back to Razer or am I missing something here?

I would appreciate your inputs. (Sorry for my English btw..)

Regards,
Robin

How is your system doing after tweaking?

I should get the same model tomorrow so I will throw my 2 cents here after I have done some testing.

Thank you for your answer. I undervolted by -0.120 V + set the fans manually to around 5,000 rpm and it really made a difference. I left the performance mode in Balanced as you said.

So how were your temps after this?

Glad to hear! That seem in line with other users.
