Yeah, the dGPU is the main reason I want to get this. I currently have the XPS 9570. It's been working well but it's plagued with Dell's lackluster VRMs and thus power throttles more often than I'd like. Have you had any of those issues with your laptop?
Thanks for the guide! I'm considering purchasing this laptop and have a few questions. Do you mean that everything other than the trackpad buttons, DRM, and the occasional NVME panic is working 100%? Also have you found out what's causing the NVME kernel panic?
Hey, I'm thinking about getting either the 840 or 850 G5. What all is and isn't working on your build? I currently have the 850 G2, but I'm unsure of the extent to which this guide is compatible with the newer versions since everything is "experimental."
Did you see any errors when you ran
iasl -da -dl DSDT.aml SSDT*.aml
I had issues with that and had to remove the "-da" to get it working. Also it would be a good idea to have the latest version of clover installed. Delete the origin folder on your EFI partition where the DSDTs get dumped...
My audio through headphones was messed up but only the first time before restarting. Every time after that has been fine. Are you sure you're using the latest AppleALC kext? That link is here in case you're using the one from this thread.

That's definitely a good sign. I know before, I might get a hang based on whether or not the power was plugged in or not. I'd also test that just to make sure everything is solid.
I won't be able to test for a while. I returned my laptop and plan on getting the 2060 version in a few weeks. If it ends up not being as compatible as I'm betting, I'll return again and go back to the 1060.
It does seem like you've solved the issue though. Now all that's left is those...
Just to add: I can confirm that it's not WiFi. I have the same laptop and all the testing I've done was without the WiFi card installed. I also just asked another user on the main Razer Blade thread about their experience. We both use Samsung EVO 970 nvme drives, but he's using the EX920 from...
Have you had the issue of your system closing apps / freezing after a few hours of use? OP and I have both experienced this issue and one thing we have in common is the 970 EVO nvme drive. Since you got the EX920 I was wondering if you had a different experience.
ALERT TO ANYONE WHO RECENTLY BOUGHT A RAZER BLADE 15 ADVANCED
I just checked Razer's website and they're teasing the new Razer Blade 15 Adanced which will have the RTX 2060, 2070 and 2080 Max-Q. It's likely (but not guaranteed) that the motherboard/hardware configuration is otherwise the same...
So I left my laptop on for a few hours. Around the 3.5 hour mark I came back to it. Blank screen. Didn't come back on with trackpad or keyboard presses like normal and fans running. This *might* be the same thing you've experienced but I'll restart and set the timer again and see what I run...
It may have similar specs but the board and hardware layout will be different. You may be able to use this guide to get started, but it will likely never be enough to get everything working properly on your laptop because you'll have different hardware in a different configuration so the...
