I have been looking to buy the Razer Blade 15, but this time from hidevolution because I heard they can repaste your laptop with much better thermal paste such as liquid metal, but I don’t know if it will make a difference in temps. If you have brought a laptop from hidevolution, please share your experience here so I can see if it’s legit and if I should get my laptop from them. Thanks!

While I can't provide direct personal experience with your question, generally speaking, repasting with Thermal Grizzly Conductonaut (the liquid metal solution HIDevolution uses) will lower operating temperatures. HIDevolution also offers the Fujipoly Extreme Thermal Pads upgrade which are usually regarded as the most efficient choice. Both things are covered directly by them.
Finally, there is a NBR special discount to forum members and the option to purchase a global warranty (as opposed to only Continental US).
My suggestion? Contact @Donald@HIDevolution regarding any questions you may have. He is well regarded in the NBR community.
Hope this helps!Donald@Paladin44 likes this. -

Repaste or pads don't make much of a difference. They already use a pretty good paste. Watch the review. I think you'll be fine with stock, especially now that they actually come with SSD thermal pads -
But they don't come with SSD thermal pads.... in the comments of that video she says she adds them

In addition, they have very high quality control and test your laptop to ensure it doesn't thermal throttle and overheat before they ship it out to you so you are sure to get a laptop that works great out of the box.
I suggest you email [email protected] to explore your options.

In general I think HID evolution is a good choice to get laptops shipped internationally. However, I have twice used their service for repasting, and twice not had good results.
The first was an Asus UX550 with LM applied, but the temperatures were higher than stock and benchmarks had it performing worse than stock as well. I ended up returning the laptop to them.
The second was a Lenovo ThinkPad P1 which I requested a repaste on as well. I noticed that 2 of the cores were hitting temperatures 10C or more above the others, causing premature thermal throttling (i.e. 98C on cores 1 + 4 while 87C on the other cores). Thus, I ended up having to open the laptop and repaste it myself, with better results.
Also, I paid for the "reduce backlight bleed" option on the P1, but ended up getting a panel with some notable bleed anyway.
So, based off my sample size of 2, I would myself not pay for the add-on services, but I may just be unlucky.Darkhan likes this.
