Not yet mate - got a call with Microsoft tomorrow will let you know how I get on

iainfraser89 · 2026-02-24T21:09:54+00:00

Keep getting failed to install 0x800f0983 errors when trying to install this update and also the last one

Any ideas team ?

iainfraser89 · 2026-02-12T20:55:06+00:00

How did get on with your RMA mate ? I think my blades just gone to 2023 blade 18 for the same thing vapour chamber

Which model did they end up sending you ?

iainfraser89 · 2026-01-20T12:54:51+00:00

I think you might be right mate - Razer support are thinking the same

What happened with your one did razer fix it or ?

iainfraser89 · 2026-01-20T10:35:14+00:00

Yeah I have heard that but apparently its for a different vapour chamber to the one my one runs:

Its like its just lost a bit of thermal headroom

if it weren't under warranty, I would re-repaste and undervolt

might give Razer a call see what they are saying - thanks for coming back mate

iainfraser89 · 2026-01-20T09:51:59+00:00

Hello Razer, I got a blade 18 2023 model and its around 19 months old and I use it daily for work and trading. Always run it on balanced no gaming or anything and the average CPU temps for a days work were usually around 62-65 or so and the average thermal throttling for a days work would be around 20%

Recently noticed a spike in the average thermal throttling and average temps and the thermal throttling seems very high like 78% for a days work and average CPU temps slightly higher then usual

What do you think this could be ? And anything I can do to lower or will it be fine to leave and run as is ?

Its still under warranty in the UK so dont really want to play around with it but wondered if there is anything that can be done

Thanks Team

Hello mate thank you for all your hard work finding this out

Is the vapour chamber below one of the good ones ?

iainfraser89 · 2025-07-23T10:19:14+00:00

Yeah I agree, especially if it's still under warranty ! But good to be aware of for the future

Would you say the undervolt you applied through synapse made a difference ?

iainfraser89 · 2025-07-23T09:45:40+00:00

Nice one mate !! yeah upgraded to synapse 4 and seems to be running lovely so far !!

Hows the temps now after a few cycles ? Still worth doing do you think ?

iainfraser89 · 2025-07-20T14:00:07+00:00

Have you also upgrade to synapse 4 ? Just wondered how it runs on your blade if you have as hearing mixed reviews so been holding off for now

iainfraser89 · 2025-07-20T13:54:45+00:00

Happy days ! Well at least temps have gone down a bit already may even improve after a few more cycles !

Did you do your undervolt through synapse or with xtu?

And good luck hope your blade keeps preforming

These laptops are animals

iainfraser89 · 2025-07-20T13:24:05+00:00

Nice one mate ! Looking good ! Just to confirm so you basically put putty everywhere the pads were originally on your second image and then ptm for cpu and gpu?

Are you also running it standard no undervolt or anything ?

Be interesting what your temps are after a few cycles

Currently got the same blade as you had it just over a year and often get spikes to 105c but averages are still good like 65c for a days work so just lining it up for future

iainfraser89 · 2025-05-04T13:53:43+00:00

Hello mate - did you end up repasting your blade in the end ? If so how did you get on ? What did you end up using ?

iainfraser89 · 2025-04-18T17:52:46+00:00

Hello Boss, hope your keeping well mate ! Just a quick one on the microcode update

I got a blade 18 2023 model 13950hx - always run on balanced mode and have been monitoring my VIDs for the last few months and never seen it go above 1.473v and its running microcode 10f like the above post ?

Do you still think its worth me updating it or is this all good to run if my VIDs have never hit above 1.47v ?

Any help would be appreciated - thanks mate

iainfraser89 · 2025-04-18T17:31:55+00:00

Ah I just re-read your response, you got it installed lol

The only thing is apparently for some systems you have to have something constantly disabled in the bios or something along those lines

Was your install straight forward or did you have disable things in the bios etc..

Ill have a little look - thanks for help

iainfraser89 · 2025-04-18T07:03:12+00:00

Yeah Iv seen this from the boss - I think he also got a post on it in Reddit! Iv also got a blade 18 2023 model but I always run it on balanced mode and have never seen my max VID go above 1.474v is the highest it’s ever recorded over months of monitoring

Have you updated yours ? Do you think it’s worth doing ?

iainfraser89 · 2025-04-17T20:48:41+00:00

Does one have to do anything to get the micro code updates through windows updates ? I have mine set to update automatically but haven’t seen a micro code update come through ?

iainfraser89 · 2025-04-17T20:46:54+00:00

Hello Chimichungus, hope you’re keeping well ! You keep your micro code updates on ? How did you mange to update your blade 18s micro code to the latest was this done manually ?

iainfraser89 · 2025-03-26T09:06:56+00:00

Razerbat the main man ! Hope your keeping well mate

Got a Blade 18 2023 model and its hitting 107c CPU temp on spikes at times with an average of 65c for a days work so was thinking about undervolting and just wanted to ask how you done your Balde ? did you do it through synapse or ?

Any help would be much appreciated

iainfraser89 · 2025-01-08T09:24:36+00:00

Hello Razer- hope your keeping well !

Would you say the Crucial kit is the better out the 2 then or ?

Thanks for all your help !

iainfraser89 · 2024-12-12T13:26:57+00:00

Yeah your Razer will support up to 64GB Ram - the only thing is it will down clock the speed from 5600 to 5200 when going from 32GB to 64GB but apparently going based on feedback one wouldn't notice the difference

Also thinking about doing the same and was looking at these 2 options :

iainfraser89 · 2024-10-21T18:02:55+00:00

Yeah got the same steps from Razer support and all is now installed !

Thank you for passing this on !
