Solved! My games lag on my Razer Blade 2019

[David0184]

Hello,

I have the Razer Blade 15 Advanced (Early 2019).
I've enjoyed playing on it from the past 8 months but from the last 1 month, all of the games have started to lag like crazy. They run great for a couple of minutes and once the laptop heats, it starts to lag.

I checked my cpu and gpu temperatures and it seems like overheating is causing the lag.
The issue persists on both gaming and balanced mode.
I've attached the pictures of temps etc when idle and when under stress. I used watch dogs 2 for the temps under stress.

I was reading about undervolting on many forums but I am not sure if I should do it or not.

Specs:
i7-8750H
32GB RAM
Samsung 970 EVO 1TB
RTX 2080 Max-Q

Note: I upgraded the RAM and SSD 9 months when I got the laptop so that is not causing this issue I think.

If anyone has any input, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

undervolting won´t harm your laptop, you can easily tryout if it helps. Only thing that could happen is that the laptop will freeze or lag in some situations. After a reboot and resetting settings the system would work normally again.

try using a cooling pad


what´s your ambient/room temperature?

BIOS is up to date?

to have a look what the problem could be:
run userbenchmark.com and post the http link of your result, e.g. https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/28977730
