Windows has a Battery Saver mode (green leaf on the battery icon when enabled) that is meant to preserve battery life by limiting background activity. This one may sound misleading, so let me clarify. (Optional) Enable Battery Saver at All Times With the values above, you can still hit higher clock speeds, but within reasonable power levels. Other guides have suggested outright disabling turbo mode even when plugged in, but I think that is a bit overkill. The reality is that this chassis has trouble handling the default values, especially when paired with an RTX 3080, which leads to overheating and possibly premature battery failure. You'll notice the defaults are considerably higher at 61 W and 90 W respectively. Since that is no longer an option on 10th generation Intel processors, we must resort to limiting how much power turbo mode is able to use. In previous generations of Intel processors, we were able to use this same utility to under-volt the CPU which would allow us to improve thermals and battery life without necessarily slowing down the CPU. Intel Extreme Tuning Utility > Advanced Tuning (agree to warning) Use Intel XTU to limit wattage during turbo *Note 2: If you need turbo mode when on battery mode, then keep Processor power management, Maximum processor state - On battery at 100%. I cannot say for sure as I have not gotten my hands on the 14" Blade. *Note: AMD likely has an alternative to the Intel Graphics Power Plan. Processor power management, Maximum processor state - On battery: 99% Plugged in: 100%.Processor power management, Minimum processor state - On battery: 5% Plugged in: 5%. PCI Express, Link State Power Management - On battery: Maximum power savings Plugged in: Off.Intel Graphics Power Plan - On battery: Balanced, Plugged in: Maximum Performance.Wireless Adapter Settings, Power Saving Mode - On battery: Maximum Power Savings Plugged in: Maximum Performance.This alone will significantly improve battery lifespan from the usual 3-4 hours to at least 6 when working intensely. The last two regarding the processor involve disabling turbo mode when running on battery. For example, there's no reason for the wireless adapter to run in power savings mode when plugged in. The balanced power plan could still use some improvements from the factory. Settings > Power & Sleep > Additional power settings > Balanced > Change plan settings > Change advanced power settings Modify the power plan, disable turbo on battery This plan may already be selected automatically for you. Settings > Power & Sleep > Additional power settings > Balanced Use the Balanced power plan in Control Panel But, I imagine many of the steps would crossover. I unfortunately do not have access to an AMD version, so I will not be able to make a guide for them. I should note this guide was made specifically for Intel based Razer Blades. If you have any feedback or further recommendations, please let us all know! Razer has produced some killer gaming machines, but if you're like me and also use your laptop for productivity, this guide is for you. This does not involve any physical modifications to your laptop and are relatively easy to do right out of the box. This is a quick guide on how to optimize your Razer Blade's battery life, thermals, and noise levels. You can do so by simply clicking flair under your link!
