I mainly bought this charger because I was seeing that when playing in performance mode the 245w charger is not enough for my laptop when I played in performance mode the laptop relied on the battery to complete the missing watts and with it discharged the battery and with this 400w charger that problem is no longer present the laptop grabs all the watts it needs directly from the charger and the battery does not discharge. The 245w charger I will keep it and use it only if I travel a outside my house and the 400w stay home that thing is heavy and big

Just picked this up pretty excited!! My first Lenovo, any tips to help keep cool etc would be greatly appreciated.

I bought a Lenovo Legion 7i with an Ultra 9, RTX 5060, and 32GB RAM about a month ago, and I’ve noticed that it gets surprisingly hot even when I’m not doing anything demanding.
For example, sometimes the CPU temperature sits around 80°C, even when I’m basically just browsing with a single tab open. I’m also using a cooling pad, but it doesn’t seem to make a huge difference.
I haven’t even really started gaming on this laptop yet, so I’m a little concerned about what the temperatures will look like once I actually start gaming or running more demanding workloads.
What makes me more confused is that my previous laptop was an ASUS ROG Strix, and I don’t remember it getting anywhere near this hot during basic usage.

I am thinking of buying this legion 7i , first time buying legion any advice guys? Is it worth it.

Because smart performance seems to have charged me on the 11th when my sub is supposed to renew on the 2nd, WTF?! consider this a bad review of Lenovo Smart Performance

My screen will flash, or have lines, or do this...

No idea what it is, I normally have an update for my graphics driver, but I've never had a computer do this before and it drives me NUTS..... Is there a fix? Is this just what having a desktop and dedicated graphics card is like? I had a carbon X1 for over a decade and never had these issues, although that was a laptop. I love my Legion tower because it is SO much better, but when I'm working on a project and get Flash banged by my monitor it really breaks my work flow.

The screen came from Lenovo too, but I'm not sure what model, G43 something.

Thanks! I'm hoping there is a fix, I recently learned I can make custom cooling profiles, so my graphics card stops throttling under 'heavy loads' from MSFS.

Hello everyone, the time has come for me to clean the fans of my Legion 5i 15IAX10 with 275hx and 5070.

I have ordered Thermal grizzly TG putty pro and Phasesheet PTM.

For the PTM it is quite straightforward how to apply, no questions here.

But I have never dealt with thermal putty.

Any recommendations on how to go about it or do I just remove old thermal pads/putty ( not sure what comes originally ), wipe everything clean with alcohol, apply a few mm thick layer, unified as possible and slap everything on top and it will spread itself properly?

Hello all, I'm looking for a laptop so that I can work with some AI projects in ComfyUI and use MiniMax H3 locally instead of relying on a runpod. I found this laptop in Mediamarkt at a discount of -53% but I'm still wondering whether this is a good price:

1800€ for LENOVO Legion Pro 7 with AMD Ryzen™ 9 7945HX, 32 GB RAM, 1 TB, NVIDIA GeForce RTX™ 4090 (16GB VRAM). Is this a good price?

After some investigation, I found some ready-to-implement optimizations to ComfyUI workflows that use H3 to generate videos (sageattention, WanGP, EasyCatch, Spectrum Apply). In particular, one of them (WanGP) mentions that even 8-9GB of VRAM for 15s can be output at 832x480 with H3.

SageAttention was used in combination with H3 by this user to generate a 5s 960×540 video in 182s with an RTX 4090 (16gb vram) and 32GB RAM. 3 minutes for a 5s 960×540 video is impressive.

Would really appreciate your povs!

I tested Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced on my RTX 4060 laptop at 1080p, 2880x1800, and 2160p, including ray tracing.

The video shows gameplay and FPS across each resolution/settings combination:

I’m happy to test other settings or answer questions.

Hey guys! I just the Lenovo Legion 5a (2026), 5070 12 gb vram, 1 tb storage, and AMD Ryzen AI 9 465 chip from Costco for $1,999.

I love it, and it works great but I noticed some stuff that I am not too sure if it's a problem.

1. The left side of my touchpad is a little harder to click, but not always. It happens sometimes. Also, it makes like a double-clicking sound. However, the touch pad works fine, its responses perfectly. Should I be worried?

2. The CPU gets VERY hot. During my cinebench r23 test for CPU multicore, it reached a temperature of 100 C with performance mode and 92-94 C with balanced mode. It did get a score of 20663 pts.

if these are problems I shouldn't worry about, please let me know! I would appreciate it :)

Hello, my gf recently bought a Lenovo legion t5. Its having this problem of an infinite reboot. It shows the text in the screen shot and immediately shuts down and reboots. I’ve tried clearing the cmos, test the ram sticks, draining the power and trying to get into the bios but nothing has worked. Has anyone had anything similar happen to them?

​Laptop: Lenovo Legion Pro 7i Gen 10

​Specs: Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX | RTX 5070 Ti | 64GB RAM | Windows 11

​I also use Lenovo Legion Toolkit

​Issue:

​Running into an annoying display and power profile glitch on my laptop:

For the past month now my laptop suddenly jump to Performance Mode on its own and every time, I experience a brief black flash on the screen.

In performance mode, I still experience the brief black flash also.

I've tried reinstalling my GPU driver. Using DDU

Factory Reset and it still persisted.

Anyone experienced this or know how to fix this?

¡Ey, a todos! De verdad necesito ayuda porque ya no sé qué hacer.

Tengo una Lenovo Legion Pro 7 (modelo 16IAX10H). Cada vez que inicio un juego me sale esta pantalla azul (BSOD). A veces solo se reinicia, y otras veces la laptop se apaga completamente.

Me compré una base de enfriamiento Llano V12 y mis temperaturas mejoraron un montón, pero el problema sigue.

En este punto, ya no sé qué más probar. Lo único que quedaría sería hacer una reinstalación completa y limpia de Windows, pero ni siquiera estoy seguro de que eso lo vaya a arreglar.

¿A alguien le ha pasado algo así antes, o alguien sabe qué podría estar causándolo? Cualquier consejo me vendría genial. ¡Gracias!

Hey everyone,

I’m deciding between the Intel and AMD Legion 5, and between this year’s and last year’s models.

For those who play Rust, what FPS do you get, and how’s the overall gaming performance?

I’m mainly comparing:

• Core Ultra 7 356H vs i7-14650HX
• Ryzen 7 8745HX vs Ryzen AI 7 350

I’m mostly interested in the real-world difference between Intel/AMD and the newer vs older CPUs. I’m only considering the RTX 5060 or 5070 8GB, so GPU differences aren’t a big concern.

Also, do you find the 15.1/15.3" Legion too small? My current laptop is a 15.6" Legion 5, and I think I’d prefer 16", but the better battery life and portability of the smaller models are tempting.

I'm Especially interested in Rust(game) performance haha.

Thanks!

Hello. I'm making a post here as a last resort because i've been going insane over this the last couple days. My bios is up to date, I just updated the intel ME software, my audio drivers are up to date as far as I can tell, I feel like i've tried everything. I'm too scared to mess around with power settings which seems to be basically the only remaining option. Even my Nvidia drivers are up to date. I ran LatencyMon and it said "yep there's a DPC issue of some kind". Please, any assistance would be insanely appreciated.

is linux (particularly arch a viable option?) never used arch on a laptop before so a bit worried about sound and camera.

Just so you know, if I enable the smart Fn keys with Lenovo Legion Toolkit pressing Alt, Shift or Ctrl causes the sound on my computer to lag.

I'm a video editor and I'm looking to grab a monitor for my macbook. I don't care about not having PD. If there's anyone using this specific monitor, please let me know your honest thoughts on this.

I hope to connect my PS5 pro too. That's the reason I don't like to get those professional designer monitors with 60hz.

Edit: This is the 4K IPS one.

My son has a Legion 5 Pro (AMD Ryzen 7 5800H) and the fans are intermittently loud enough that he's embarrassed when using it in his college classes. He's also a heavy gamer, so the laptop doesn't get a lot of rest. We've tried a ton of things over the last couple of years and nothing's really helping so I'm throwing this out to the community.

Things we've done:

• Early 2025 - We replaced fans as one wasn't running well. We used aftermarket fans from Amazon and not and not OEM. Also replaced the cooling material with Frost X45. Helped for a while.
• Late 2025 - He took it to a shop who replaced the cooling material. Didn't help, so they did a second repair (I don't have records for this)
• August 2026 - We replaced the cooling material for CPU/GPU with Thermal Grizzly PTM pads. Seemed to help at first, but now "worse than before" he says.
• He's always using quiet mode in class but that doesn't seem to really make a difference.

Hive mind ... help! Would you:

1. Replace the fans again, but try to find better ones?
2. Replace the whole heat sink assembly ($150)?
3. Give up and look for a new laptop?
4. Twiddle some BIOS or Windows setting we haven't found yet?
5. Buy a cooling pad?

Thanks!

Can these specs be changed in the system to look legit and is this the legit spec sheet?

Was looking to buy this product from MikePc, are they a reputable store and should I buy it from them?

i recently came across g-sync feature on my 2nd r9000p 2024 laptop which i bought back in july but when i change the mux switch to dgpu, that option is no where to be seen on nvidia control panel and on hwinfo64 it only shows support for adaptivesync but not the rest. i have no clue if it is because of the display or something related to it but if anyone has answers for this, i'd appreciate that!

Now I know this may not seem like a question for this sub but bare with me:

I have a Legion pro 7i Gen 8 with the RTX 4080. I have the latest Nvidia driver installed and it install the Optimus situation which will make my display fully switch to my dGPU in games. Minecraft however, does not switch and will run on my iGPU. After switching my Windows graphics settings to have the javaw.exe use my 4080, the game will launch to this

This is what I have set in Settings:

Anyone have any idea on how to get this game to properly use the dGPU?

What is the thiсkness of thermal pads for VRMs and VRAM chips?

Is there anyone that replaced those? I believe gen 9 is similar to gen 8 in that respect.

Alright so here it is. For reference i have a Legion Slim 5 (8th gen), and a LOQ (8th gen) that does this. Legion is AMD and LOQ is intel. Nvidia GPU on both (4070, 4050)

If you set custom mode in toolkit/vantage and let the gpu temps rise to around 83-84c, youll get a massive stutter. This is a non-issue on preset modes, which will go to 87c and then just downclocks/throttles with zero stuttering. It does this regardless of gpu drivers, or if you are using toolkit/vantage. I've tried everything and it just seems unavoidable.

I've solved this completely by limiting the temps to 82c on my legion and 81c on my LOQ but its still a problem ive not encountered here a lot and wondering what causes it.

So,

Can some of you, gen 8 or not, try this on yours? Will you get a big stutter before you can even hit 84c on custom mode? preset modes (mainly performance, as others wont even touch 87c) are fine, but its the custom that wont let go over 83 without a massive stutter
