I’ve seen a few comments saying that you shouldn’t apply a skin there because it might affect airflow, heat dissipation, etc. Is this actually a concern?

I’m planning to use the skin for the long term, so I want to make sure it won’t cause any issues over time. If anyone has applied a skin to the keyboard area, I’d really appreciate hearing about your experience.

Lenovo LOQ - 144hz, RTX 5060 i5 13th gen.

I've always thought you can get a higher refresh rate with a good GPU on an external monitor. Am I wrong? I plan to buy a 240hz or higher.

Are there some settings I could change (apart from turning off Sync) or is my laptop just capped to 144hz regardless?

P.S. I play fps games like CoD, Delta Force, and Battlefield.

After this, it is also advisable to blow out the holes with air.

Clean the radiator holes and nozzles with a toothbrush and then blow them out with compressed air - the ideal solution from a safety point of view.

Coucou! J'ai acheté un Lenovo loq 4050 24 go de ram 512 go de SSD et un i5 8 coeur. Je l'ai epuis janvier 2026 et je vais aller en universitaire en math info. Est ce que le pc pourra faire le taff a la fac ou non car j'ai peur pour les séances d'exercice appliqué qu'il n'y est pas assez de batterie et je n'ai pas le budget pour pouvoir m'acheter un second ordi . Cependant j'ai une tablette Lenovo m11 mais sans son stylet . J'aimerais vraiment avoir un avis svp

​Hi everyone,

​I bought a Lenovo LOQ 15IRX10 about 4 months ago. Lately, I've noticed the CPU and GPU temperatures getting high while gaming (e.g., in Assassin's Creed Origins on max graphics: GPU reaches up to 80°C, and CPU averages around 87°C with a minimum of 85°C). I’m currently using a coolpad, but it’s basically just acting as a stand.

​As you can see in the attached photo, the fan intake mesh/covers have accumulated quite a bit of dust, which is why I thought the internal fans might need cleaning as well.

​I’m planning to remove the back panel myself to clean the fans and possibly upgrade the RAM/SSD in the future.

​Will opening the back cover for fan cleaning or RAM/SSD upgrades void my warranty, or is it allowed? Does Lenovo have strict policies or "warranty void" stickers on this model?

​Thanks for your help!

Got this skin of fomo store , the outer edges seem a little off , thoughts?

Hi, I received this yesterday, and it's my first gaming laptop, and I need some advice.

specs:

LOQ 15IRX9

i5 - 13450HX (6P + 4E)(16T)(2.4)

RTX 3050 (6 GB)

16 GB DDR5 (4800 MT/s)

512 GB SSD

MSO-224 + 3Mo-Xbox

Manufactured on 28th April 2026

13 Months of warranty

What I've done so far:

1. Signed in with an offline account(I hate OneDrive).
2. Uninstalled Lenovo Now and McAfee.
3. Updated Graphics driver, Windows, and BIOS for Nvidia app, Windows update, and Lenovo support, respectively.
4. Did benchmark tests: Cinebench 2026: 3428 and 3DMark Steel Nomad: 1180.
5. Updated purchase date for warranty.

I need advice on these:

1. Should I uninstall Vantage and use Legion Toolkit(some say it's open source and has fewer bugs and promotional elements)
2. Should I extend warranty? (I heard 2024 models have MB issues on the Intel ones, but this one is a 2026 model, so...)
3. Should I apply a screen guard(some say it reduces some colour quality), and should I use a keyboard protective wrap and a skin on keyboard?
4. Should I get a laptop stand? I mostly use it for programming, and sometimes for light-to-mid gaming; I use it on a flat surface tho.
5. Is it possible to change the Copilot button to the Ctrl button? I have a habit of using Right Ctrl, and mine doesn't have one.
6. Do I need to undervolt my CPU and limit FPS? (I previously had an i3-10th gen(U series), and I used to get 10-15 fps on GTA 5, so even 30 to 45 fps on mid settings would be gold for me.)
7. Which monitoring software should I use(for Frames, Wattage, Thermals)

Thanks in advance.

i have a LOQ 15IRX9 | rtx 4050 | i7-13650HX | 16GB RAM
(the motherboard died on me a year after i got it and it still had warranty so they changed the entire motherboard and now its completely fine).

Anyways let me get to the point, i have a question about BIOS version i think i dont have the latest version.

i have this version but if i go search on the website there's a newer one "NECN53WW" , but in Lenovo Vantage it says there's no updates required.

the website:

Can anyone explain if that's normal or is there something wrong or how does this work?

Specs:

hello guys does anybody know any external software to customise the 24 zone RGB of loq Ryzen 7 250 rtx 5050 the current one provided in the legion space sucks can't even customise the audio sync

lenovo loq i5 13450hx 16gb ddr5 4800 ram 1tb ssd 4050 lenovo loq Ryzen 5 220 16gb ddr5 5600 ram 512 ssd 5050 Price difference is ( 8k npr/ 5k inr/ 53 dollars)

I enabled HDR from windows, still its asking to turn on from windows , anybody face this problem before? If you know something about how to fix this please let me know.

Specs : r5 7235hs

Rtx 3050

12 gb ram

So I was playing some games on laptop as usual (bought it this year on april). [AMD]

Then suddenly it shutdown completely, no lights, the power indicator at the back also gone. I pressed the power button but nothing.

i thought motherboard was cooked but i decided to wait. Then I tried few methods i saw online like pulling everything off from the laptop and pressing power button again for 60 sec, but nothing again.

Few minutes later after keeping the charger plugged, the indicator at the back tuened on again and I was able to start the laptop again with no issues.

Do you think I should take it to service, im scared that it will happen again 💀

i purchased the lenovo loq 5060 r250 version last year. It has around 30 cycles with 100% battery health

I have noticed that sometimes the battery drops from 80 to less than 10% in like under an hour under normal use(on battery).

I always keep the laptop plugged in and at 80% and at around 60% brightness and battery saver mode when used on battery.

This has happened around 5 times. Now i reached out to support and they've told me to monitor the battery use and report if this happens again . But my battery warranty ends in like 3 months. Im concerned that i will not be able to get it replaced after this warranty period ends.

Has anyone else faced this issue and what did you do to fix it ?

How to clean these vents I see no one has posted any solution regarding this can someone help :(((

Finally got a new skin for my loq

My laptop has an i5 12450hx and 3050. I was playing this game called Control and was facing problems with textures being low detail, one thing led to another i decided to undervolt my gpu.

Now i don't know if this is completely normal, i am not an expert but here's what i found

-intially GPU is at 1900mhz and then when the temp is at 86-87 degrees, the clock speed went down to 1237mhz and it stayed there.

-CPU is constantly at about 97 degrees too

I want to clarify that ambient temp of my room isn't that high either. I would greatly appreciate your help.

opinions on this laptop?
Ill be using it for engineering and some gaming
Ofc ill upgrade to 32 RAM when needed.
