For the Razer Blade RZ09-0421: The thermal pads used in this model typically have a thickness of 0.5mm to 1mm. The specific size varies depending on the component that requires thermal contact. It’s important to match the thickness to the original factory specifications for optimal performance. Using a 1mm thermal pad: When a 1mm thermal pad is used where a 0.5mm pad is needed, it can reduce the heat transfer efficiency. A thicker pad increases thermal resistance and may lead to improper contact between components, which can impact cooling and even lead to potential component damage over time.

CPU heat is the only issue in this machine, gpu is very cool. to keep the CPU cool aswell you should disable CPU boost from Power Plan. You dont need CPU boost as the base clock of Ryzen 9 5900hx is very high around 3.3 After disabling boost you will get CPU: 65-75C If you manualy set the fan speed in this case to 4500-4600 rpm then CPU: below 70C Prons: 1. Less heat 2. no battery bloating 3. longer battery life 4. less fan noise 5. longer laptop life cons: 1. decrease in performance by 10-20%

how does the cpu cause overheating when the gpu draws more power than it? I recommend undervolting cpu cores instead so you can reduce heat without losing performance. start with -100 mV and change by 5 mV increments until the system crashes in a stress test, but idk if this bios supports it.also liquid metal thermal paste but make sure you insulate components near the cpu/gpu die.
Thanks so much for posting this video. I have this exact same laptop and have also been experiencing worse thermals of late (up to 102 C under full gaming load, Boost/High for CPU/GPU in Synapse w/cooling pad). I'm thinking about re-pasting, but I'm not sure if it's worth it. I wanna use liquid metal, but I am concerned about the thin-ness of the vapor chamber walls. Question: Are all the thermal pads under the vapor chamber 1mm? I noticed you didn't replace all of them.
Hi Josh, I noticed that Razer use many different thickness for Razer Blade 14. I think the thermal pads from the stock still have great performance and im not sure what is the thickness. So i only change the same thickness which is vram and ram. I believe if you replace the thermal paste only didn’t matter.
@@mikhaelalvin4590 thanks, from your video the darker grey pads look like they might be 0.5mm, while the thin strip in the top left corner might be 1.5mm or 2mm.
Hey! Tell me, how thick and on what are the thermal pads on the cooler? the blue thermal pad is especially interesting .. I removed the cooler to replace the thermal paste and the gasket I had was only 1.5 mm new. I had to put it on .. in some places I put the gasket double folding .. I replaced the thermal paste and the processor temperatures got worse .. where it was 96 it became 100, a maximum of 102 no longer rises, most likely the processor resets the frequency.
Greetings. I'm considering buying a Razer Blade 14 (2021) for its flashy features and 14-inch screen. Is it currently worth buying or are there better options?
@@mikhaelalvin4590 Perhaps the budget is the least of it. I'm just looking for an option with superior performance, good design and portability, and good support and durability a few years from now.
There are way better options for cheaper, I own this exact one and there's a common issue with games stuttering and no one has been able to figure it out since launch
Yess, if im using Balance profile and set manually fan to 5200 rpm the temp only reach 80-90. But i want to get full performance from this pricey laptop :’)

Hi, Im glad to hear that. before i posted the video, i have tested using 1.5mm and 1mm thermal pad both for VRAM and RAM (the others still using stock thermal pad). Because of the thermal pad from thermalright odyssey is hard, the heat sink is not contact properly with GPU if using 1.5mm. Then i swith using 1mm its fine. After a while i reopened the thermal pad not 100% contact with the heatsink. so maybe if youre using soft thermal pad just go ahead with 1.5mm. But if using hard thermal pad 1mm works fine. You can use 1.5mm hard thermal paste and maybe you need to pressed down a bit because the pressure from heatsink it self cannot bend the thermal pads properly. hope it will help you and get best performance :D
Before repaste CPU 101 and GPU 80 with Profile Synapse High. Now after repaste CPU 94-95 and GPU 71 with Profile High too. Soon I’ll post the gameplay performance after repaste
Hi Plancks, the GPU clocks increase slightly and reduce stuttering. I would recommend to repaste if the laptop over a year at least. If still a new doesnt have significant different.
@@ArchCancer no, didn’t work. Tried every method out there trust me even talked to customer support at razer but my warranty ended 2 months ago so there’s nothing I can do.

Almost 10C less on the CPU with a repasting using Thermal Grizzly! GPU stayed more or less the same after a 30min run of Stress on Furmark.
Did you remove the old stock thermal pads after applying new ones on the VRM and VRAM?
