I just put a 2TB Samsung SSD in mine. Next will possibly be the 64GB upgrade, now that I feel confident opening my precious up! *Yep, I just put 64GB Crucial ram in my Razer, 12/21/22
My first 24 hours were stressful. I kept having issues getting Windows 11 to update and I kept having to restart it. Finally, once the updates were done, I was able to start using it. The laptop has been fantastic. I was disappointed by the RAM as I mentioned in the video. I was originally only going to install dual channel 32GB, but I'm glad I accidently bought a single stick of 32GB on my first order. That way I was able to just order another one and run 64GB for video editing. I'm really happy with the purchase and now I need to figure out how to store all the 4K video I'll be shooting.
Hi I am seeing Amazon is selling a used one for a pretty decent price. Would you recommend this than the 4070 Razer blade? How’s your long term feeling about this laptop?
It has been running great over the past 18months. I bought a 1tb 980 pro ssd to run the OS and used the stock ssd in the second slot as local video editing storage, but the stock one is super slow. I ended up buying a 990 pro 2tb to replace the stock one and it is way faster. If you buy the 2022 3070 model you definitely need to upgrade the RAM to at least 32gb and SSD to 980 or 990 for long term use. I will mention that not even the 2023 laptops are great for multiple external monitors if you want to do that. They need to come out with a true tb5 standard with higher data rates first. The 4070 is supposed to be awesome though! I'm looking for a laptop for my wife now and it is a tough call between 3080ti and 4070. In the 14" market, the new razer blade 14 is better though because of upgradable RAM.
I have the 3080 TI with the 12800H and I put some good old liquid metal on CPU/GPU. The CPU/GPU on max power draw (cpu on boost/gpu on max) hardly hit 90 degrees with prime95/aida64/Cinebench. The CPU throttles at 100 degrees. Ofc in real scenarios you hardly push that hard. Razer did an impressive job this time on the Blade 15. However, the 12900H(k) is a joke on the Blade 15 so hands off or get the Blade 17!
can you do vids for battery life and how to extend battery life? my razer blade with the same model battery life is only 2-3 hrs max from 100% with hig cpu high gpu
I think everyone will have different needs based on what their using their device for. I wanted to do 4k video editing and planned on only running 32gb(16x2) but accidently ordered the 32x1 so I just ordered a second 32x1 to make it 64gb. I found that I used 52gb of RAM while processing stabilization on 4k60 video using premiere pro. If I used a lighter software then I probably wouldn't need that much RAM. Windows 11 uses quite a bit for overhead also and if you have any bloatware or antivirus you're probably looking at 6-10gb at idle so 16gb definitely isn't enough. If you aren't running the rig hard then I think dual channel 32gb(16x2) is enough. Try getting your baseline by checking how much RAM you're using at the heaviest load you run normally. Add some buffer space (giggle) and order that much RAM.
Hi! I did get this model and I tried opening it up to install the 2nd SSD. Just wanna ask if you can feel a slight gap by those 3 clippings side as there is no screw holding them. When I press on the backplate on those clippings i can feel they are not 100% (theres gap movement ever so slightly)flush with the machine. Would u confirm that for me?
I’m there is some flex in the chassis if that is what you’re asking, but the backplate should not flex down where there are no screws. Maybe you didn’t get the clips in properly?
thank you for the reply! It is flexed up ever so slightly. If I press down on it i can feel theres is a minimal gap on that edge of the backplate… like 1mm of gap. Do you think it is okay?
Hi 😁 I just got mine and upgraded it…but know when I push on the center in the middle of the fans I think it bends and if you do it more hard kind of clicks (so I don’t know if it’s like that or is because I made the upgrade and did something bad ) do you think you can check on yours 😢 please ? Maybe is all the laptops haha
my man, exactly what i need, one important question , do I need the upgrade, the device is being shipped, I bought 32gb ram, but after seeing ur video I am thinking to buy 64rams what do u think?
There is a second slot stacked on the first slot. The M.2 slot only does the standard size SSD and can't run shorter ones. Also only single sided SSDs.
Hello! I just bought the 2022 razer 17 3070TI QHD and can't decide if 32GB is plenty or just to go for 64GB? Any advice? I mostly use the laptop for gaming and watching movies ect.
coming from a young novice video editor, I don't have a razer 17, but I'm pretty sure a 32 would be enough if you're not really using the laptop for heavy video editing/photoshop processing and a 32 gig would definitely be enough to run atleast gta on high and a movie at the same time, and if you decide its not enough you can always just buy another one in the future
No issues with the RAM since I got it running. My initial installation was odd and it wouldn't boot the first time after putting them in. I had to restart the computer and it boot the second startup after installing.
I would imagine that if you're getting new RAM anyway you would want the higher speed, but not at a significant cost of latency. As far as I'm tracking, you would have to crack the BIOS to get that speed though since Razer has cooling limitations. www.cgdirector.com/ram-memory-latency/#:~:text=latency%20memory%20kits.-,RAM%20Speed%20vs.,and%20the%20latter%20in%20nanoseconds.
Not true, it depends on the bus clock the CPU communicates with the RAM. Even a slow CPU can support the bus clock (MT/s), while a fast CPU might underperform. Moreover, the RAM size is a major aspect itself and in production capacity wins over speed (servers etc.).
@@jasonmax5758 yes the 12800H/12900H/12990HK support LPDRR5 5200. However, the performance improvement from 4800 to 5200 is rather small and not worth it. Get it if you can afford it, though I doubt it's available yet.
The beginning was awesome! And thank you for the benchmark! :D
I just got 32x2 ddr5 4800 for my RBP 17 I9 I cant wait to see how it performs vs my 21 I9 RBP17
16gigs is starting to show slowness had to buy 64gigs cause was allmost same prize as 32gig kits

That display looks crisp, I might grab the same model but with a warranty just in case for its price. How’s the laptop been for you since you owned it

Would've looked crispier if it wasn't a stupid matte display
GREAT VIDEO
Which RAM do you currently recommend? This Crucial or Corsair Vengeance?

@@ruffwrenchn2235 thanks for the info. yeah, if I am buying a $3000, I don't know if I want to do that much upgrades... I may just wait the blade 14.

But, why don't you disconnect the battery first before replacing the ram??
Yea you could fry your new $600 memory.
can you do vids for battery life and how to extend battery life? my razer blade with the same model battery life is only 2-3 hrs max from 100% with hig cpu high gpu
Hi
Is it worth and massive improvement if upgrading 16gb(2×8) ddr5 soddim to 64gb(32×2)? suggestions and recommendations will be appreciated

my man, exactly what i need,
one important question , do I need the upgrade, the device is being shipped, I bought 32gb ram, but after seeing ur video I am thinking to buy 64rams
what do u think?
I don't think most people will need more than 32GB
I am thinking of getting this too.
Would you mind confirming there is a second SSD slot for upgrading SSD in the future?
There is a second slot stacked on the first slot. The M.2 slot only does the standard size SSD and can't run shorter ones. Also only single sided SSDs.
It will work on blade 15 base model RTX 3070? My stock is DDR 4 2X8 gb 2933MHz

@@Xemuth1337 Thank you!
What happens if you do strip one (or two in my case) how do you get them out?
You can try small needle nose vice grips if there is enough to grip. I'd hate to have to use extractors on a laptop screw
I had this exact problem and extractors weren't going to cut it. I now have two holes in the panel after drilling. T5 screws are terrible.
@@venomlightYT ended up having more issues, started shutting down on me, got a macbook instead, no problems since...
Why did you buy a razer laptop? U haz the razer bug?
Are they still
Working fine? No blue screen error? I am also about to upgrade the ram
No issues with the RAM since I got it running. My initial installation was odd and it wouldn't boot the first time after putting them in. I had to restart the computer and it boot the second startup after installing.
I love black mother board. It feels premium.
What's the brand of the ones you remove ? I'm buying one and I want the same brand, and for the ssd is there another slot ? thanks
The laptop came with Samsung RAM. There is a second SSD slot ontop of the standard one.
@@ruffwrenchn2235 thanks so much !
What's the price of the RAM
Can the NVMe be upgraded in this?
Hi there, how do we know if a Ram is compatible for razer blade 15? I purchased a ddr5 ram and it is too big 😔
Maybe you bought DIMM instead of SODIMM? SODIMM is "Small Outline" for laptops.
@@ruffwrenchn2235 thanks mate
hi is there a big gap betwewen 4800mhz vs 5200mhz in gaming?
I would imagine that if you're getting new RAM anyway you would want the higher speed, but not at a significant cost of latency.

Should I get 64GB of ram for my 2019 Razer Blade 15?
Most people won't need more than 32GB, especially in a laptop setup
any body know song at 7:50 ? :)
i saw even the i9 12900 is not enought to make ddr5 worth it , u will need a way bigger cpu
Not true, it depends on the bus clock the CPU communicates with the RAM.
Even a slow CPU can support the bus clock (MT/s), while a fast CPU might underperform.
