| Answer ID: 741

This answer will show you details about undervolting and why Razer does it.

What is undervolting?

Undervolting is a way to reduce the excess voltage given to the processor without impacting the performance of the system. This allows the CPU to still maintain incredible performance while operating at cooler temperatures.

Does Razer undervolt their laptops?

Razer optimizes different components of our Blade laptops for gaming and high performance and this includes optimizing the voltage of the Intel CPU within spec. This optimization allows the CPU to maintain peak performance while operating at cooler temperatures. In some tasks, the system can see increased overall performance and improved battery life versus a non-optimized gaming laptop.

All Razer Blade laptops undergo extensive testing to ensure stability under heavy load. The voltage adjustments combined with innovative thermal solutions like the vapor chamber provide industry-leading performance found only in the Razer Blade laptops.

How long has Razer been utilizing undervolting in their laptops?

Razer continually looks at ways to innovate and just started implementing this performance tweak in our latest laptops featuring Intel's 9th gen CPU.

I was wondering how to Undervolt my Razer Blade?

Razer laptops are optimized using just the right amount of voltage. In order to maintain stability and keep your laptop within performance specifications and to avoid potentially overheating your CPU, Razer does not recommend altering the voltage as you can experience issues of instability. Razer laptops are made by gamers for gamers, so we understand that you want your laptop to be pushed to the limit, but trust us when we say that our team of engineers has got you covered right out of the box.
