General Information
The secondary key functions on the Razer Blade do not light up
This is an expected behavior on the built-in keyboard of some Razer Blades purchased outside of the US. Due to the design and layout, the secondary functions on the non-US regional blades could not be lighted up.
What is Hyperboost?
Hyperboost is a feature that unlocks additional performance for selected Razer Blade models when used with the Razer Laptop Cooling Pad. This feature pushes past standard system power limits with active cooling to achieve ultimate performance gain.
The Hyperboost setting can be found under the PERFORMANCE tab in Razer Synapse.
Note: The Performance Mode settings in Razer Synapse for the Laptop Cooling Pad will align with the settings selected for your Razer Blade.
What models are supported by Hyperboost?
The Razer Blade 16” (2023), Razer Blade 16” (2024), and Razer Blade 16” (2025) are the models currently supported. Support for other models will be announced at a later date.
Why does my game’s FPS change when I'm on battery power on my Razer Blade?
When running on battery, your Razer Blade automatically optimizes power usage to extend battery life and keep your system cool and quiet. To do this, it reduces CPU and GPU performance slightly, leading to lower FPS in demanding games. This helps you stay productive or enjoy lighter gameplay sessions while unplugged—without draining your battery too quickly. For full performance, plug in your laptop and unleash its maximum power.
Can I adjust the performance of the CPU and GPU on my Razer Blade?
Yes, the performance of both can be tuned within the Razer Synapse application.
Can I use a lower-watt power adapter on my Razer Blade?
Yes. It is compatible with a 100W USB-C power adapter but it is recommended to use the power adapter that came with your Razer Blade 16” (2025) to get the highest performance while your Razer Blade is running under heavy load.
Can I dual boot, partition, modify, or install other operating systems on my Razer Blade?
Yes. However, the Razer Blade is designed for compatibility with the as-shipped OS. Should you want to install or modify the OS, format the boot drive first then install your OS. Razer Warranty and Support is only available for the as-shipped OS.
How many external monitors am I able to connect to my Razer Blade?
Some Razer Blades, including this model, support up to three external monitors using the available HDMI and USB-C ports. However, results vary depending on the resources required by the external displays.
See the answer below for more details.
Will I overcharge my battery if I leave it plugged in even when it is at 100%?
No. The Razer Blade 16” (2025) has a Battery Health Optimizer feature that you can enable in Razer Synapse. This lets you configure the battery's charging limit from 50 to 80% in steps of 5%. When the Battery Health Optimizer is enabled, the battery will stop charging when it has reached the limit specified even though your device is still plugged in. Enabling this feature may cause your battery level to be lower than 100%, but this will protect your battery and prolong your battery life.
Note: It is highly recommended to cycle the battery every couple of weeks. For tips on how to extend the battery life of your Razer Blade battery, see the answers below:
