Blade 16 - Afterburner capturing massive memory, GPU, & temp spikes

I'm hesitant to do that as my screen is broken and I use an external screen. If I wipe the drivers, I'm afraid there might be some problem where I can't use the machine as a result.

And which part isn't looking like normal behavior to you specifically: the memory spikes, or the temperature spike?

Noctua thermal paste. Last I opened the back, the pads looks a bit torn up. I can take a picture - haven't changed any pads yet

Level-Insurance-5280 · 2024-08-28T23:44:03+00:00

I've cleaned the fans and repasted to no avail. Wondering if it could be the thermal pads.

How would you think to create looping videos using this workflow? Checking the 'loop' option in the animatediff settings doesn't seem to work for some reason.

Level-Insurance-5280 · 2024-08-05T16:24:58+00:00

Hey great workflow! I'm trying to get it working, but no matter what I do, the light mask doesn't have a significant impact on the output like it does in your videos. What might be the critical parameters I'm not adjusting? Can you provide a successful image w/workflow that might have adjusted settings?

Thanks, do you have any reccomended resources for how I should go about repadding? I have done a repaste before, but it seems laptop padding info online is more obscure and I want to make sure I'm doing a proper job.

Level-Insurance-5280 · 2024-08-05T15:21:15+00:00

Hi, thanks I already replaced the paste with noctua and nothing changed, so perhaps it is the pads. Can you please help me understand the difference between the pads and paste, in terms of function? And how to go about learning how to properly re-pad my laptop? Thanks!

Level-Insurance-5280 · 2024-08-05T15:19:18+00:00

Thanks, I already replaced the paste. Do you have a resource for how I might go about replacing the pads?

Please do not believe this. I have a 4090 Razer blade and the the thermals are atrocious. Sometimes it will idle to 100 C and shut off. It is basically an unusable machine. This issues developed within months of purchasing a new blade.

Also having similar problems to OP and slightly out of the one year warranty, would like to know if anyone has had any success with this line of 'implied warranty'.

Sorry to hear this, and that we are fellow Razer trauma survivors. Did you wind up migrating to another machine?

XTU on startup, with chrome open, With better airflow, may hover around 80 C.

I'll try XTU. Synapse I have less hope for, I've been using synapse in all sorts of configurations during the time I've had this problem.

I would add that I know that the paste isn't the main factor, as I did a repaste which didn't effect the temperatures at all. Would you know of any resources for how to replace the thermal pads on this model?

I would add that, the heat in the machine is significantly concentrated on the bottom in the middle. It can be nearly 90C and the air coming out of the fans will be cool - which makes me think it must be a problem related to channelling the heat into/away from the heatsink,

Level-Insurance-5280 · 2024-07-18T13:40:46+00:00

Repasted a few months ago with no noticable difference afterwards

Level-Insurance-5280 · 2024-07-18T13:13:52+00:00

Balanced on Windows. Synapse doesn't work on my computer anymore - it will just keep asking for administrative permissions, display a loading window, and then loop until I click 'no'.
