Running into some issues with Synapse 3.0, but think I found a work around. The screenshot shows my UV -0.125v with clock maxes set to 3.8 Ghz. For some reason when using the default clocks (4.0 and above on some cores), Synapse causes it to power throttle hard and it messes with my frames in certain games. Without any modifications; undervolts, turbo limits, etc., running Synapse still causes my frames to drop in games like Dragon Quest XI.
Edit: Uninstalling and running without Synapse let's me run at full clocks without framerate issues. According to Razer, running without Synapse is equivalent to running Synapse in Balanced Mode with Auto Fans without Synapse overhead.
I want to preface the fact I'm not an expert tweaker
But have learned a lot since owning a laptop in 2019. My desktop is really good, but it's stock everything lol. So I don't modify much. This experience does make me wanna try and do some stuff to my desktop however.
Anyway I can do my best to answer any questions, run test and of course I welcome any assistance to squeeze the most out of the system.
A bit of history, I returned my 9th Gen 240Hz Razer Blade 15 to HIDEvolution because it was getting really hot. 30 mins of gaming all cores would hit 100 degrees C and thermal throttle even with UV at -160 and max clocks set to 3.5 GHz. This new Razer is the result of returning the Razer to HIDEvo.

Can you show full HWinfo64 screenshot while running 3Dmark? I want to see cpu and gpu power usage.
Thanks -
Where did you purchase your Blade Pro 2019 this time?

Blade pro 2019 with RTX2060 has been on the UK Razer website to order for around a week now. The 2080MQ model became available this morning. Placed my order, waiting for dispatch.
-
So expensive. 5500 for the 2080mq in Australia. 4800 for the 2070mq and 4300 for the 2060.
Puts it in a real strange spot. The usual advice is to buy the 2060 as it's the best value - but when you're spending over 4k on a laptop, it's tempting to just go all out. Either way it's going to smash your wallet. -

I just got mine yesterday, need to check on this....
I bought it directly from Razer here in Singapore.
Its not cheap but if I you want to go for the larger 17” model I would always go for the max gpu to also justify the larger size kind off and take advantage of the improved cooling (the two small air intake fans at the bottom...) -
So I opted for the 17 for screen real estate, and stuff. I do get buyers remorse from time to time and wish I just went all out, but it's a $700 difference and figured with my 10% restock fee that IMO isn't warranted from HIDEvolution, it kind of helps mitigate that a little.Joikansai likes this. -
And here's the results of running default clocks and default voltage of -100v set by Razer. Synapse running on Balanced mode. The Score was about 600 points lower in TimeSpy. Keep in mind if I don't install Synapse at all, the results are better than Synapse installed on balanced mode. These results also include the demo for TimeSpy. Little animated video at the beginning.

As far as things go the Asus GX502 w/ Max-P 2070 is looking the most attractive price wise so far. But it's only a 15.6". -
I recently discovered that the ROG GX701 uses a 2070 Max-P, so it's on my radar now. Almost no reviews of this particular unit online... it seems the 2070 model is quite rare in the 'states?
Either way, with ASUS's $200 cashback for EOFY, it's actually a pretty solid deal.
My biggest concern is the styling. That glowing red logo on the lid isn't ideal.. and unfortunately dbrand doesn't do skins for ROG machines =\ -
So I also have issues with micro stutters in games (Mainly Dota 2) when synapse 3 is running on my blade pro.
However in my case, the stutters often lead to a full system lockup where even task manager freezes. I have the 2080MQ version of the blade pro. Without synapse 3 installed, there are no crashes or stutters at all. I've gone over this issue with razer for the past 3 weeks and tried every solution they gave me (clean uninstall of synapse + reinstall, deleting all traces of synapse 3, system restore) and none of them worked. I've decided to just give up on synapse 3 at this point.
With that being said, I'm quite happy with the hardware itself. Regarding the OP's issues, you might want to consider a higher undervolt if it is stable (I'm running with -.150v) and a repaste. On my blade pro, there was an excessive amount of thermal paste (I estimate around 3x the normal amount I would use) on both the CPU and GPU. I can provide pictures of what the factory paste job looks like if needed. I repasted it with kryonaut, and together with the undervolt I never see CPU temps above 80 C on the CPU and 72 C on the GPU. The idle temps also dropped by about 8-10 degrees.
Regarding time spy scores, I was able to achieve a CPU score of 7002 with synapse on performance mode. Without synapse running at all I've gotten as low as 6305 CPU score. But regardless of how well synapse helps me do on benchmarks, the stutter issue makes it useless to me. -
@WhiteHelios Also uninstalled Synapse yesterday. Do you know a way how to edit the keyboard lighting without it? Now my keyboard switches the colors randomly.

Had the stuttering issue as well. Shutting down Synapse fixes it, which is too bad as synapse is the unlock way to get the higher CPU power limit.
Stuttering can easily be seen by running Heaven or Valley. -

All of you please refer to my third post here: http://forum.notebookreview.com/threads/razer-blade-pro-17-2080-max-q-vbios.829747/
Updating the bios to 1.04 will fix most of your performance issues!Joikansai likes this. -
What HAS "fixed" it is to do ONE of the following:
- Either shut down synapse, or
- Shut down other monitoring programs (I've experience the problem with both MSI Afterburner and HWinfo).
Fortunately, throttlestop doesn't seem to conflict with synapse, so I've been able to leave that running. -
-
The most recent version of synapse (3.4.921.91704, released 09-17) appears to have fixed this issue!
-
Still not the same as running with synapse or monitoring apps off. -
Well I recently got a replacement RBP17 because I had problems with my fans. On the first RBP I had (newest Synapse and 1.04 bios) no problems with stuttering while using HWInfo at all. Now with the new one and everything updated I had massive stuttering while playing Astroneer with HWInfo active. As soon as I closed HWInfo the suttering was gone. So where is the connection here? Rather same laptop, same versions, same scenario and different results. Maybe we oversee something here?

Has anybody here repasted with liquid metal + undervolt? I'm on the fence on getting a RTX 2080 RBP, would like to know what peoples optimized temps are like after undervolt on CPU/GPU + liquid metal.
