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.
Can I custom overclock my Razer Blade?
No. Custom overclocking on the newer versions of your Razer laptops is not possible since the CPU is locked. Razer laptops are carefully crafted, and its components are tuned to give the best performance under the most demanding gaming conditions. There is an associated risk of damage to crucial components if unauthorized changes are made, which will result in voiding the manufacturer’s warranty.
Can I use a lower-watt power adapter on my Razer Blade laptop?
Use the 230W adapter to get the best performance while your Razer Blade is running under heavy load. Under normal or light usage, you may use a 100W USB-C adapter for convenience. If you observe that it takes longer to recharge your Razer Blade or it is not even charging at all, then use the supplied adapter.
Note: A notification saying "More Power Required" will appear when you are using a lower wattage power adapter. This is not an issue and is expected behavior.
Can I use a higher-wattage power adapter with the same plug connector?
Use the power adapter with the same wattage to maintain optimal gaming performance of the laptop. Using a different power adapter potentially leads to performance issues.
Can I use third-party power adapters with the Razer Blade?
No. Use Razer power supplies with the Razer Blade. Third-party adapters have not been tested to meet our standards and could lead to damage to the system. Replacement or spare 230 W AC adapters are available at the RazerStore.
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 series uses a lithium-ion (Li-On) polymer battery. The Blade laptops have an internal circuit to stop charging at full charge to avoid overcharging and will only start recharging when the battery hits 95%.
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:
