2023 Razer Blade 16 overheating

Have you found a fix?

So, as I suspected, the vapor chamber leaked, I guess. The bios update was probably coincidental.

I contacted Razer to ask for a quote on how much it would cost to order a new vapor chamber. The response was that they don’t do anything until you send it to their service center for a hundred bucks to diagnose the issue. With nothing else to do, I sent it out and they quoted something like €2400 to replace the motherboard, because they “don’t replace the vapor chamber” separately. As this was a company computer, I at least asked for a VAT exempt invoice, which they apparently don’t do that either, as a company with like €50 mil annual revenue in Europe alone. So then I asked if this will renew my warranty for at least a year, they apparently do it for only 90 days. I then asked to buy additional Razer care for 3 years and they don’t do that in Europe either.

I then e-mailed some swear words and asked them to send back my €4000 paperweight and for exactly that €2400 I got a Lenovo Legion Pro 7i with 2 years warranty included. It has the same specs, plus a 14900hx.

As if that wasn’t enough, I also bought a Razer Iskur chair around the same time as the blade and that one has been to warranty twice already too. Fortunately that one has 3 years of warranty included.

Absolute joke of a company, lol.

Ah, I knew that was coming soon enough. Razer and their “amazing” customer service.

My Razer Blade was blowing out cold air while the CPU and the GPU were thermal throttling, thankfully it was obvious enough and saved me some time. But they told me the same stuff, I said I could replace it myself but turns out they don’t sell parts either. At this point I’m just impressed by how horrendous this whole thing is.

Razer - for gamers, by incompetent corporate dweebs :)
