I have been taking some thermal measurements for my new Razer Blade 15 and am curious what other owners have been experiencing. Basically, I'm looking to see whether what I'm seeing with my Blade is normal or if it's running unusually hot.
All temperatures are in Celsius. All tests were run with the laptop elevated so as to ensure a clear airflow.
Benchmark
Idle CPU temp (average): 43.4
Idle CPU temp (max): 61
Prime95 & Furmark CPU test temp (average): 89.8
Prime95 & Furmark CPU test temp (max): 94
Gaming CPU temp (average): 86.8
Gaming CPU temp (max): 100
Prime95 & Furmark GPU test temp (average): 81.3
Prime95 & Furmark GPU test temp (max): 86
Gaming GPU temp (average): 80.6
Gaming GPU temp (max): 87
Undervolt
Idle CPU temp (average): 42.7
Idle CPU temp (max): 61
Prime95 & Furmark CPU test temp (average): 88.8
Prime95 & Furmark CPU test temp (max): 93
Gaming CPU temp (average): 82.7
Gaming CPU temp (max): 100
Prime95 & Furmark GPU test temp (average): 81.3
Prime95 & Furmark GPU test temp (max): 86
Gaming GPU temp (average): 76.6
Gaming GPU temp (max): 80
Undervolting seems to make almost no difference when running stress tests and when the CPU is idle. I am seeing about a 4 degree drop in temperatures when gaming. I am curious as to why I am not seeing overall lower temperatures from undervolting.
These numbers seem a bit hot to me. I've been considering opening up the laptop and repasting (if needed), but do not want to void my warranty yet (just in case).
For those of you with hardware experience, are these numbers good, okay, or bad?
*I am not looking for fanboy answers like "sell your Blade and get a ..." I am aware of Razer's shortcomings, but I have had great experiences with them in the past and enjoy the portability and power of their systems.
