- I repasted the CPU and GPU on my Razer Blade 15 and thought I would share it with you.
I have carried out lots of testing since repasting and conclude that there is NOT a significant improvement in temperatures. More information below.

Before repaste:
Gaming on balanced mode with max fan: 82 deg cpu, 74 deg GPU, sustained CPU clocks at 3400, GPU clocks at 1450.
Gaming on gaming mode with max fan: 91 deg cpu, 79 deg GPU, sustained CPU clocks at 3800, GPU clocks at 1500.
After repaste:
Gaming on balanced mode with max fan: 78 deg cpu, 72 deg GPU, sustained CPU clocks at 3500, GPU clocks at 1450.
Gaming on gaming mode with max fan: 91 deg cpu, 78 deg GPU, sustained CPU clocks at 3800, GPU clocks at 1500.
It was performing well before I repasted and it is performing well now, so a repaste was not necessary. I would suggest that you only need to consider this if you have thermal problems that can't be improved with an undervolt (i.e temps up at 100deg and thermal throttling).
This is a win for RAZER as they clearly used effective thermal paste and their application was effective. After 16 months of heavy use, the paste hadn't degraded or dried up. This is another reason that I would buy another Razer for my next machine.
Just ordered this laptop, I've built a playlist with videos like this. Thanks for an excellent guide.
Thank you! I'm really pleased it was helpful 👍🏼
@@WarneysWorld dont want to burst your bubble, but my 2019 razer blade advance 2070, usb c port not working well anymore, battery swollen, power supply broke down (had to wait 1 month for replacemebt, ended up buying one on amazon while i wait), for the price, idk. There wasnt a lot of sleek gaming laptop back then
3.5 years in, starting to get warm and think it's time for a repaste. Great vid for seeing what I'm getting into.
This was an awesome video, super helpful. My temps are peaking 20 degrees lower than they were. Thanks for the help my man!!
Amazing - sounds like you did a good job 👏
Thanks for the guide. I've had my blade nearly 2 years and about a month ago I shut the lid (normally puts it in sleep mode, this time it didn't for some reason) and put it in my bag. When i got it out again 45 mins later it was too hot to touch, cpu was at about 99 degrees. When I took it apart the paste, or what was left of it, was crusty. Just got it all back together and its idling 10 degrees lower :)
That's amazing! Good skills 👍🏻
Just replaced the thermal paste and cleaned my fans and heatsink
My temps dropped from 96 to 50. My fans has a think layer of dust and my paste was a mess and crusty.
So pumped to be getting the performance I expected out of this thing. It was basically always at a state of thermal throttling untill now.
Nice!! Sounds like you did a good job.
Yeah it can make a big difference. I repasted an msi raider a couple of weeks ago and it made a huge improvement.
@@WarneysWorld thanks for the video !
Thank you my main! Was at 100'c before following this tutorial. Now barely hitting 68 whilst gaming. I would buy you a beer if I could.
Beer is always welcome! Haha
@@WarneysWorld i have my razer blade since 1 year now and since some weeks i´m also hitting like 80 to 100degrees while gaming/editing, so it´s time to repaste, right ?
It might need repeating after a year. Temps up to 90 on the CPU whilst gaming and rendering is fine but I wouldn't want mine going up to 100
@@wambologyy while you're at it, check the fins and fans for dust buildup, if you have pets or live in a place where dust is prevalent, this might be the main culprit.
Tenka thanks for the advice!
Beautiful Tudor!
Thanks dude, just changed thermal paste, works great!
Good skills 🙌🏻
Very therapeutic
Haha for me too!
Nice detailed video. I've never seen a video tutorial better than this. Keep it up! Thanks for the help
Just did this with Arctic MX4 a few days ago. Not a huge difference in thermal performance either, for Modern Warfare, at least. I crank up the fan speed manually during gaming and I’m getting awesome thermals. Didn’t need to repaste at all, but didn’t hurt haha. Anyway, nice video, as always 👍🏼
Thank you again! Yeah I think they use decent stuff. Says a lot that after 16 months of heavy use, the thermal paste was still liquid and hadn't dried out at all!
Just repasted mine a few days ago. I have had my laptop since late 2019. As i took the screws out of the back plate the battery began rapidly expanding. Found out why I was getting such poor thermals
Omg! 🤯
Great video man keep it up, I really enjoy watching your videos because it makes me want to buy that laptop even more. I do have a question about the fan however, when you first started playing Call of Duty Modern Warfare on it, was the fan really loud? If so, is it an easy fix?
The fans on these are not too loud at all, especially compared to other gaming laptops. Also, you can control them manually, so you could put them on 50% in balanced mode and still get good performance but quieter. I tend to play with headphones in so I crank the fans to maximum, just to get the best possible temperatures. Balanced mode with maxed fans is my favourite :)
Warney's World thank you man, I’ve really been looking forward to play Modern Warfare since my PlayStation account got banned
@@itsxmanplays4664 I think you'll enjoy it on pc 👍🏼
Something fell on the ram stick. You ever figure out what it was?
Well spotted. I'll take it apart and have a look tonight 😅
Yo! So I just bought the 2020 version, base model, and when playing games like Minecraft, I felt it was getting super hot above the F9 keys, so the very top. Is this Normal?
Yes that's completely normal. Not only for razer laptops but also for other brands. I don't ever touch the chassis up there! Thankfully it's nothing to worry about though 👍🏼
Warney's World okay! Thank you so much, I was getting worried cause it was scortching hot up there, but the temperatures were low, so ye. Thanks for your help
@@LilSk1tty no problem!! Hope you enjoy your laptop! 👍🏼
Warney's World thanks! I subbed with notifs !
@@LilSk1tty amazing thank you 😃😃
Hey man great video! I have a Blade 15 advanced model with a rtx 2070 max q and an 8th gen core i7. Im getting 88C while gaming on the GPU and 95-100C on the CPU. Are these similar to what you were getting before you repasted?
No my temps weren't that high but I didn't really need to repaste. If your temperatures are up to 100 on your GPU I would definitely repaste. I think it will make a difference.
You could also try using throttlestop and afterburner to undervolt and reduce temperatures as per my video here:
th-cam.com/video/DRsCzRtiylY/w-d-xo.html
Remember that all chips are different so what works for my device might not be optimal for yours. So these settings could be seen as a good starting point but you may benefit from experimenting a little yourself.
@@WarneysWorld Cheers mate! Ill try it and let you know. Also, what are your thoughts on liquid metal?
@@keshan2675 Theoretically liquid metal would be the best performing interface material due to its thermal conductivity, but the stuff honestly terrifies me, as it is electrically conductive, one tiny slip could result in a bricked system. I'd also be concerned about it moving over time. I don't think you should need it on these systems.
I'd be really interested to hear how you get on. Make sure you hoover any dust out of the fans too because that can make a massive difference 👍🏼
@@WarneysWorld Yea thats fair enough, I do move my computer around all the time so LM probably wont be the best idea.
I just ordered kryonaught, ill let you know how my temps are !
@@keshan2675 amazing - good luck!
After I year of my Razer Blade 15 Advanced RTX 2080 usage it's now staying at 100 degrees even when it's idle, definitely now I need to repaste and clean dust from fans.
That's definitely not acceptable. Repasting might help bit I would definitely be speaking to the retailer, or razer direct.
Have you tried a clean windows install? Are you undervolted and is your CPU boosted in synapse?
Yeah, I have the same computer and the same issue. Whenever I play any games, it spikes up to 100C... I've ordered paste and a toolkit. Until you can buy some Kryonaut, I suggest you go into the bios and turn off turbo boost. It'll bring the temps down a lot.
Arden Unger I have cleaned the dust around fans, repasted compound and undervolted now it's working like brand new, I have made a complete video of the process.
@@TechWithAdilNice! I'll come and have a look!
@@TechWithAdil That's dope! Yeah I'll definitely give that a try, paste came today just waiting on the toolkit haha
Thanks for the information, it was exactly what I was looking for.
You're welcome 👍🏼 As I say in the video, I would only repaste if you have significant thermal problems.
A far more significant impact for me was to use throttlestop as per this video th-cam.com/video/DRsCzRtiylY/w-d-xo.html
I'm very late for this, but I need to know, is that laptop the base model or the advanced model?
It's the advanced model. The base model has heat pipes instead of the vapour chamber (not that that's a bad thing, I think the heat pipes are effective)
To anyone who is going to repaste your Razer blade 15 ( in my case it is a version from 2018). You might have noticed four soft pads that cover heads of four heat sink screws (th-cam.com/video/XUKb-FzgubI/w-d-xo.html). Throw them away (or glue them?). You may have been smart enough not to put them back, but I was not ( though I had a feeling that I should not. But then, I thought, ah it was there in the first place who am I to throw these pads away?). Long story short one of them ended up being stuck in one of the fans, blocking it. I had temperature drops when playing, and could not see a reason (for a few months after repast I had to stay home and did not move my laptop, but then I was allowed at my office, and then I guess while carrying it, gravity pulled one of the pads down which ended up in the fan.). Then I looked at it and saw that one of the fans does not rotate.
Thank you for the tip 🙏🏻
you did it!! cool!!
Haha yep! 😂
I just bought the new i9 OLED Blade Advanced and while gaming I am in the 70's but I get 100 degrees spikes. I am really considering Kryonaut.
Is it a quick spike which settles down as the colling system overcomes it or is it more frequent? That's a beast of a cpu in a thin and light laptop! 😍
@@WarneysWorld Yeah a really quick spike. I think it only hits 100 degrees for one to two seconds.
I don't think that will do it any harm. On my blade 15 I caned it for a year at 95deg before I learnt about undervolting an I've never had problems with it nearly 3 years on. Never hurts to proactively manage temps though so if you're confident with repasting it's only going to help. Out of interest, can you undervolt 11th gen cpus?
@@WarneysWorld Actually I found out it is sustained 100 degrees on CPU and 70's on GPU. Since day one it has been like this and that is why I am considering Kryonaut.
You might be right, it could be a bad factory paste job. If it was me I would definitely give it a go.
Hi dear I think you can answer one of my problem. I recently baught a Razer blade 13 from ebay verified microsoft store. The device hardware is all the same as listed in the website however the system information says it is an ACER laptop {predator} How can it be possinle? What actually they did with the laptop. This version should have Windows home but I got Windows pro. I really dont understand whether to keep this or return.
I would return it and get a refund and then report the seller. I can't imagine why a razer laptop would think it is an Acer.
Good video but from your video you don't seem to validate the paste did spread correctly, did you check off camera? I redo but rather than leave a dot/line i spread it first.
My temperatures also dropped 20 degrees idle and under gaming.
Before my temperatures were at whooping 60 degrees using Google Chrome….
Why you didn't clean the fans, and grills from dust, ahhh and also .... pressure will not spread - in laptops - thick paste, you would be better of with using that spatula that was with Thermal Grizzly, additionally just after reassembly it is best to quickly thermal cycle the CPU and GPU - you need to expand/contract the paste as quickly as it is fresh and fill in 'voids' well. I would agree though that 5C up to 10C difference is only with perfect application, LQM can reach 12-19C improvements.
Have you had any issues with this laptop's battery? I've had a Razer 15 Adv (2019) that twice needed to be sent in for repairing a bloated battery.
No, no issues
Is there any pump-out effect after few weeks?
There shouldn't be. That stuff is pretty putty like and shouldn't move much. Besides, if you lift the heatsink to have a look you'd have to redo the whole process!
Why do you have thermal pads on gpu vram? Is it better? My msi laptop with rtx 2080 came with some type of thermal paste on the vram
I don't know to be honest. The thermal pads are there as standard. I wouldn't expect a lot of heat coming off the VRAM 🤷🏻♂️
Have a quick question. What is the thickness of those thermalpads stik to vaper chamber 0.5 or 1 mm ?
Hi, can i know how this razer blade performs today?? Is it still alive? Are you facing many issues during the years up until now?? Sorry I'm asking this, because there are alot of people having problems with their razer laptop like the presents of several issues with their laptop, thank you :)
Unfortunately it was stolen from me about 6 months ago. It was still excellent before that happened after over two years of heavy use. I have never had problems with razer laptops and will continue to hold them in very high regard.
On the other hand, I've not heard many speak of problems with Asus products but I've had 5 ROG Zephyrus laptops and only one of them wasn't badly defective. I've put it down to bad luck so haven't made a fuss 👍🏻
Does this guide apply to the newer models? Like the Razer Blade 16/18 2023 versions?
Hi, nice vid man.
I'm consider changing my thermal pads.
What's the thickness of those thermal pads? and one on the PCH, SSD thermal pad seems thicker.
I'm not sure to be honest. I would check on yours in case there are differences 😊
@@WarneysWorld i replaced all my pads with 1mm thick pads xD and all pads doesn't seems to have full contact with heatsink xD.
That's the kind of thing I'd do! 🤣
I’m debating getting the advanced RB15 or MBP 16 for my college laptop. I’ll need to run 3D programs like Solidworks. Obviously the Razer is more horsepower but I don’t wanna have to deal with overheating problems or battery life. Which should I go with?
Tough choice! I think you should base this decision on whether you want to game on it. If you do, get the razer blade, if you don't get the MacBook Pro. They are both very well built, but I'd say the Mac is slightly better (I have one of those too). The Mac has better speakers, keyboard and touch pad too. The Mac's keyboard is the best I've used. In terms of thermals, I'd actually say it's pretty even. They both get hot. I probably prefer the razer in this respect. The razer cooling solution is more aggressive and you can use throttlestop to tune the CPU temps if you need to. You can't do that on the mbp.
The MacBook Pro is terrible at throttling due to heat issues
Does opening and upgrading void the warranty as Razer is totally restrictive when it comes to their warranty, repairs, parts which they do sell and there are no local authorized repair shops.
Upgrading your ram and SSD won't invalidate warranty but repasting probably will. But I don't see how they would know that you've done it unless you put it back together wrong or tell them. I did mine when it was already out of warranty, and I didn't really need to do it, I just wanted to find out if it made a difference. If you have a device with high temps and poor performance it would definitely be a step I would take as a poor paste application could be the cause of the problem
They will not sell any replacement parts. I have an RB 2019 that was shipped missing a screw, it's a Mercury White model and the screw colors match the rest of the chassis. They "have no way to get a replacement" out to me.
Great video. How long had you been using the laptop before you repasted?
Thank you! I'd been running it for 18 months before the repaste 👍🏼
Should of clean your fans while you were in there bud. Looking a little dusty from what I can see.
Don't worry, I have given them a clean. Wasn't much in there but better to be safe 👍🏼
I am not surprised with how cheap this razor laptop looks on the inside.
It doesn't look or feel cheap at all. Only thing I'm not keen on is the cable for the monitor, but they seem to be resilient
Those circle black plastic tabs on the screws (heatsink screws) are glued or just like there with presure?
Did your idle temps improve? Btw, thank you for this video, I was able to repaste my RB15 RTX2070 i9750h. Temps did improve while on gaming. I was having 110-125fps++ on COD warzone with all low settings and temps only at 77-80deg max before it was hella high reaching 92+++ deg with undervolting. But I was wondering that my idle temps are suddenly higher than pre-repaste. Before I was getting 47-50s deg but now my idle temp post-repaste is 57-60s deg. My concern is just the idle temps. I tried repasting again after 2 weeks then I get the same value.
You're welcome! I don't think your temperatures are anything to worry about. When you say idle, do you literally mean doing nothing? Because my Blade idles at 54, but the second I open something it will raise up to 60 or above. I don't think this is anything to worry about though, and your temperatures while gaming are really impressive. I would be very very happy with that!
@@WarneysWorld Thanks for the reply mate! The idle temp I was referring, its literally doing nothing. No browser open or anything. It's playing within 55-60s then if I open a browser it will jump to consistent 60s but not more than 63deg. Actually, when I repaste my RB15 I was also impressed with the temps, though I tried different settings to get the perfect settings with no throttling or sacrificing FPS performance. I set the core clocks limit to 3.0ghz - 3.2ghz and my temps on warzone doesn't go up more than 81deg. Also quite impressive when I play multiplayer, there I tried different settings also then I get 73-75deg max with disabling turbo boost so my core clock only uses the base clock of 2.6ghz then I get 160-170fps.
Thanks for the tip! Someone else in the comments with the same device as you also recommended disabling turbo boost so I've been meaning to give it a try. Those temps and performance figures are impressive. In terms of the idle temperature, you are only a few degrees above my device so, I don't know whether it is just silicon lottery (some chips running hotter than others) or whether it's something else, like different ambient temperature/humidity or a bit of dust in the fans. Are the fans running quiet? Another possibility is that the 8th gen blade has a slightly more aggressive fan profile!
Any chance you would be open to running through on how to clean the fans? I don't want to spray compressed air and direct the dust in a worse off spot.... any advice/guidance is welcomed!
I just used a vacuum cleaner. There was hardly any dust in there. Probably be more if you have dogs in the house etc.
Warney's World you’re bang on.. I am around animals a lot more.. probably why it’s accumulated so much for me!
This video is absolutely brilliant thanks man!
I'm wondering if I need to do this to mine, as I've been experiencing quite common and lengthy lag spikes in every game I play recently (after about a year of it working perfectly with whatever I throw at it). I'm pretty sure it isn't driver related, I'm starting to suspect it's thermal throttling.
Would you say that cleaning the vans out with compressed air and possibly applying fresh paste could solve the problem?
Thank you for watching! Yes I know some other people in the comments said clearing their fans made a big difference, so it could be worth a try. My factory paste job was actually quite good so the repaste didn't make a big difference for me. I know it has helped some others though and it is kinda fun to do. The other thing I had some success with was using throttlestop to manage my CPU temperatures as per this video: th-cam.com/video/DRsCzRtiylY/w-d-xo.html
@@WarneysWorld Ah thanks man! Your videos are really helpful, I appreciate the response! I'll give it a go!
Thank you 😊
@@WarneysWorld Hey man just wanted to give you a quick update. I followed this tutorial on my own laptop, cleaned it out, put new Thermal compound on it. And I followed your undervolting tutorial. After doing both, my laptop is now working perfectly, like its brand new.
Thanks to you I might finally finish The Witcher 3 😂 thanks again for your help!
@@benjaminmcginn195 that's fantastic news! Good skills! 🙌🏻
Great video, do you experience alot of thermal throttling even at low temperatures ?
I don't suffer any at all. It performs really well 😃
@@WarneysWorld iv ordered the same thermal paste and will try re paste this weekend, hopefully it sorts it
Was that liquid metal or just a normal thermal paste ?? And did you notice some performance boost ?
No it was just kryonaught. I'm a bit scared of liquid metal 😅
I didn't notice any difference but it was a good paste job already by razer and they use decent stuff
@@WarneysWorld 😄 okay , I thought it was liquid metal cause thats risky 😬
I am gonna buy a thermal paste tomorrow for my razer laptop , do you think its worth it ??
@@Kamrankhan23333 I'd only do it if you think there is an overheating problem
@@WarneysWorld my laptops temperature gets too hot that I can even cook eggs on it 😄 🤣
Do you think cooling pad will help ?
Yes, a loptop cooler brings down temperatures by 5-6 degrees on both the CPU and the GPU on this laptop. I don't game like this because I want my laptop as normal desk height, but I have tested it and the results are impressive.
Can you swap the gpu on the 2060 vareint
No the GPUs are not swappable I'm afraid
I just followed everything here and my laptop started runningn much worse than before. Someone help me please 😢
How has the performance changed? I would take the heatsink back off and take a look in case there is not enough paste. As I said in the video, it didn't really change anything for me so I only recommend repasting if your laptop is performing badly.
I have also been able to improve performance and temps using throttlestop, which made a far bigger difference than repasting. I have a video if your are interested 👍🏼
Warney's World
Hii! I tried to find out what caused the problem but wasn’t really sure. So i tried a few things. I unplugged and reattached the fans. Updated all my drives. And somehow my fps in games increased by 140-160. This was actually a very great video! Im even happier with my laptop now than when i got it brand new. From having trouble reaching 220 fps in valorant, i get 310-360 fps in game. As for my temps, from a minimum temperature of 97.C , i now get a maximum temperature of 80.C (while playing).
I also removed my battery , however im not really sure if that helped or did nothing at all
That sounds very impressive. Well done for sorting it 🙌🏻
hi,
you also replace the thermal pads and the little poit of k5pro?
wich pads are good for laptops?
How many thermal pads does this laptop need?
Do all Razer 15's have swappable RAM? Even the base model with 9750H/1660Ti/16GB RAM/144Hz display ?
If so, I am REALLY impressed by razer lol. might even sell my alienware m17r2, and get the base model lol. I miss being able to upgrade the RAM lol
Yes you can upgrade the ram on all models. I never understood why Dell/Alienware soldered on the RAM. I'm not sure whether they still do that.
@@WarneysWorld Thank you for the response! Yes They 100% still do that with the 15/17 line up. You can only go up to 32GB on both with it being soldered. Shame tbh, Because my Alienware 18 from 2015 has 32GB ram in it, more than a brand new m17r2/r3. Ofcourse you have the option of the Area 51m, but the dual PSU kind of turned me away from it. I still use my Alienware 18 as my go to powerhouse. Its just been durable, and I enjoyed every upgrade I did lol. I really like the razer blade though, everything ive been seeing about it seems great. I'll just wait for the base model to have that 1099 USD deal on amazon again, and ill snag one.
Thank you again! Subbed, Liked. Appreciate the input!
Thank you!! Yeah I really like the Razer Blade, I still think it offers the best balance between power, portability and build. If you were looking for a powerhouse, the Razer Blade pro 17 is significantly more powerful than the 15. It runs its GPU at 100w instead on 90 on the 2070 version, and according to notebookcheck it outperforms most modern devices with the 2080 super max Q. It has 4 fans too so better thermals. I'm considering getting one soon. The only thing I would say as a significant consideration, is that I wouldn't recommend using these laptops on your lap. On a desk they are fine, but on your lap the air intakes are blocked and the whole device gets hot. Worth being aware of in case this doesn't fit with your use case 👍🏼
what are the sizes of those thermal pads on a vapor chamber? i plan to replace everything beside the paste since my laptop is overheating.
nice watch
Would you recommend doing this on the 2020 Advanced (2020 Super Max-QW + i7-10875H) model? I've been thinking of repasting to reduce temps and fan noise and I'm wondering if it's worth it...
I would only repaste if I had really concerning temperatures, such as 95decC or more. Even then I would try taking some of the heat off with throttlestop first. I got much better results with this: th-cam.com/video/DRsCzRtiylY/w-d-xo.html
Razer seems to use good paste so repasting would only seem necessary as a last resort 👍🏼
did you do it? I have the same model as you, and I can really easily hit 100 degrees and thermal throttle.
@@WarneysWorld Unfortunately you can't undervolt the 2020 model.
@@Katatonya no I had heard that that might be the case. You could try using throttlestop to reduce your boost clocks and wattages if you are concerned. You don't want it running at 100. This vid might help: th-cam.com/video/DRsCzRtiylY/w-d-xo.html
@@WarneysWorld I just realized I can't even change the boost clocks, this is a joke.
thanks for the video, it will help me ... want to ask, what about the fans ?? mine look really dusty from just looking without opening it, yours too, dont you need to take them out to clean them better ?
I just vacuumed them. There wasn't a lot in there and it came out straight away.
@@WarneysWorld why didnt i think of this ?? for some reason the air compressor was all i could think of, thank you!!
@@Axtuax 🤣🤣
What is the second smaller ribbon cable under the lcd cable? Is it the webcam and mic? If so, can this be left unplugged so they both don,t work? Would the screen still work?
It's for the webcam. I've never tried leaving it unplugged as I quite like Windows hello 👍
Wait, how do you adjust your fan speed on the razer blade 15? I only saw the option to increase/decrease performance?
In synapse, I have three performance modes, balanced, creator and gaming. Within each mode I can manually adjust the fan speed. Razer synapse gives you different options in different devices. Do you have the 2020 model?
@@WarneysWorld Yes mine is the 2020 model, but i just got it yesterday. I'll look for the fan adjustment today!
@@richardcosper4924 Congrats on your purchase! Is it performing well? I'd be interested to hear how you get on 👍🏼
Hi I have razer blade base 2019, the fan noise is very loud, if I change thermal paste will it be quiter?
It will be if your system is dissipating heat more effectively. Also worth vacuuming any build up of dust in the fans as this can also make a bit difference.
What difference in temps before and after?
Wasn't much change in temps because the Razer factory paste is very good. For reduction in temps I got the best results from throttlestop th-cam.com/video/DRsCzRtiylY/w-d-xo.html
Any info on the thickness of the stock thermal pads?
been thinking about repasting my blade advanced for a while & might just renew everything when I´ve got it open already
I think you put much less thermal paste onto the GPU than it needs.
Initially, I did thin X and saw how the temps went crazy, about 15 degrees higher than before.
Then I've reapplied using the fat X with dots on the empty spaces and now the temps are pretty the same as were before the first applying.
So, I see that the GPU definitely needs more.
BTW, for CPU I used the rice grain, and the temps went down for about 15 degrees. So it definitely worse it.
I used the Noctua NT-H2 and the Thermalright pads.
It's fine, I have used it for six months since the application and temperatures are great, and it out performs many devices of similar specification. The application was completely valid and in line with published guidance.
Can you check if there is line on your cable between the vents mine has line in the cable not cracked but a visible mark on where the cable was bending.. let me know if yours has the same..
There is a faint line but there isn't any sign of abrasion or wear.
@@WarneysWorld ok mine has the line to I'M so worried about it its only 3 days old and i have the RTX2080 model it was not cheap
My speakers are full of dust. How can i clean it? Brush didn't work byw
I have no idea but mine have never been dirty enough for it to bother me. They are a terrible design 😅
@@WarneysWorld normally razer sound quality is good but mine is so dirty. I barely sound. I have to fix it 😓
What’s the top notch thermal compound for laptop?
I think thermal grizzly kryonaut is the best. The only way to get better performance is with liquid metal but it's very risky. I wouldn't go there 😅
@@WarneysWorld oh yea! I’ve read some articles about the drawbacks but thanks anyway 😄
I am surprised that after 16 months it still keeps well because most break after 6-8 months did you get yours of amazon?
Yes I did, I think Amazon are the best bet. I don't think it's true that most of them break. Razer wouldn't be profitable if the majority of their products were faulty and needed replacing within the warranty period. Bad news stories travel further and faster than good news stories. I know plenty of people who are happy with their Razer Blades.
Yea mine has lasted over a year with no problems so far
2019 rtx 2070 advanced model
you should have spread it to all corners of the dye there is no ihs to spread the heat
This is a valid application approach and my CPU and GPU do not overheat
covering the full silicon dye is always better
@@SvrM_ thank you for your opinion
there are olny one slot for ssd m2??
On the advanced model yes only one slot. 2 on the base model 🤦🏻♂️
@@WarneysWorld Huh weird ..
Hello! My cousin has this same laptop and is having issues getting more then 60 fps? Could you help me out?
Do you know which screen option his laptop has?
@@WarneysWorld 144 hz one! We turned off the g force power saver mode but I think it should still be getting more then 60!
And you're gaming plugged in?
@@WarneysWorld This is correct
is it hot at the keyboard during gaming ?
No it actually pulls air through the keyboard for cooling so the keyboard stays nice and cool.
@@WarneysWorld oh that is really good, I asked because I saw of one the statements that it claimed Razer warm at the keyboard during gaming, but I didnt aware the year model of it ..
@@Imuraandesuu yeah all of the razer blade 15s draw air in through the keys right where your hands are (WASD) - it's literally like having a cool fan on your left hand. The area above the keyboard gets quite hot, but this is the same on all gaming laptops and even Macbooks. There's no need to put your hands there so it's not a problem 👍🏼
@@WarneysWorld yes I agree since the gamers usually at WASD, my ROG also in a same way, where the other surface is really hot except the usual buttons, how about the fan noise, I mean i dint really concern about fan noise since it's gaming laptop, but I wonder how loud Razer could be during gaming ?
@@Imuraandesuu it's quieter than most. Under load notebookcheck measured it at 45db, which is amazing considering many competitors are up in the 60s. It was one of the reasons I went for the blade and I haven't been disappointed. Sure you can here them, but they're not loud or harsh
what are those grey/cushy stickers i see on multiple parts? did you add more of them ?
They are thermal pads which help transfer heat from the components to the heat sink. I didn't add any extra ones although I know some people add one to the Ssd as it can get warm.
Ftr liquid metal is much more efficient.
It will also eat the heat sink
That display cable is made to fail..
Doesn't look great but I haven't heard about any failures
@@WarneysWorld I have.. I seen people complaining of their cam and mic failing, I'm thinking returning mine back..
@@KTBLGaming I've never had any issues with mine. I returned 2 Acer predator Triton 500s due to severe screen defects and an Asus Zephyrus which had a faulty GPU. My blade has been perfect for 2 years and counting. The grass isn't always greener. Good luck 👍🏼
@@WarneysWorld ok well two years is good for flex cable. Maybe i will keep it will see how it does until January and if the cable gets any worse, I would send it back and if not may get external insurance for it.. Best thing would be an easy place to order the cable from but as I read razer does not sell parts or anything people also say their support is not good..
Repaste after a year of use... Sad...
Why?
anyone else notice at 8:10 that piece of debris falling near the ram? lol
I would have gone straight to liquid metal :D
I would consider it if my temperatures were worrying, but I'm quite happy at the moment.
@@WarneysWorld With liquid metal you can raise the power limit with the same temperatures/fan curve ;)
@@profix25lo you are starting to convince me 🙌🏻
@@WarneysWorld Just make sure that you cover smd components close to the die with nail polish so that if the liquid metal drips onto them it will not short them :)
Btw: May I ask how your experience with the laptop is so far and what you are using it for besides gaming?
@@profix25lo late reply but for anyone reading, don't use liquid metal as the heat sink isn't pure copper so it'll eat away at it
Why would you change the thermal paste and not blow out those dusty ass fans at the same time?
My razer blade has a gtx 1060. Can i swap it with a rtx 2070/2080?
No the GPUs can't be changed out I'm afraid
@@WarneysWorld thanks
Kryonaut sucks for laptops. You maybe only get 1 month of life out of it.
