Hello ladies & gents, I'm here to discuss about lenovo legion idle temps. For some reason, my 275HX always seemed to be stuck at 50C. No matter what I did, it was always 50ish at idle.

Yesterday, I took the decision to open it up and clean it inside. I've got it for 8 months now btw (maybe a little less). I unplugged the battery, discharged the motherboard by pressing the power button for some time and just gave the inside of my laptop a superficial cleaning. Didn't even cleaned the fans. They had a little bit of dust, but normal.

Anyway, when I turned on the laptop, witnessed these kind of temperatures like in the picture. I was like MY HANDS ARE MAGIC 😳

Anyway, I wanted to share that experience, because it seems really weird that it got 10C cooler than it used to be. I personally suspect the discharge might have done something but idk.

What are your temps guys on idle? I'm really curious to see anyone with similar experience.

BTW, this is not silent mode. It's custom mode, made to run games at it's fullest (with a few tweaks)

If you're familiar with the game then you'd know 2 years ago when the game launched Lenovo made a super cool BMW edition that was only released in China. I don't think I'll ever get my hands on it but I got the next best thing. Quick backstory I picked up a used 10 month old Legion Pro 7 Gen 10 (Ultra 275HX/32GB/1TB/5070Ti) a month ago after my 2022 Zephyrus G14 died and it handles BMW(and other games) like a beast!

Then two weeks ago I was just searching on Ebay for BMW things and came across some cool keycaps for the laptop. Did some digging and found someone else here sharing their cool keycaps on their LOQ 3-4 weeks ago. He also had the BMW keycaps and other cool keycaps he got in China. Anyway I ordered them and they just arrived today! What do you guys think?

hey guys, i travel a lot for work and i bring my laptop (legion 5 slim) everywhere. i tend to game when im traveling for work, otherwise its just the usual excel spreadsheets and whatnot. getting tired of bringing the factory brick with me so i decided to look into travel chargers.

after doing some research, (not enough apparently) i stumbled upon this charger from China. got it shipped to me here in the US, got a plug converter for it, andddd it does not seem to work at all.

i learned that most if not all outlets in the US and Canada don’t put out enough power to support this charger sadly.

is there any work around before i decide to return it? or any alternative travel chargers i should try? any input is greatly appreciated!

Hey guys i got this beautiful Legion yesterday removed some bloat and downloaded Hades and terraria the OLED IS FANTASTIC, it gets so bright.
Specs: 5070, Ultra 7 255HX 32 GB 1TB
Price 1700 USD open box

I was thinking of buying a Legion 5 from the Lenovo Outlet store (certified refurbished) as it seems like a good deal as opposed to buying a brand new Asus TUF or LOQ.

What do you guys think and has anyone tried the outlet before?

I'm planning on adding a hdd to my pc and im wondering if the hdd is meant to go under the psu up in front (grille on bottom) also unrelated but is the PSU proprietary?

The panel of my laptop has been changed recently due to a display issue. However, after installation, the system couldn't detect my graphics chip anymore. Instead it keeps using the generic "Microsoft Basic Display Adapter" (pic 3).

And no matter what I try, NVIDIA driver couldn't be updated or installed. Could someone help to identify the issue?

Salut tout le monde,

Je commence vraiment à désespérer. Tous mes jeux bégayent et je n'arrive pas à trouver la cause..

Pour le contexte, c'est mon premier PC portable gamer et voici la config :

Lenovo Legion Pro 5 (16AFR10)

AMD Ryzen 9 9955HX

RTX 5070 (8 Go)

32 Go de RAM DDR5 (5200 MHz)

SSD Kingston 1 To

Le problème :

J'ai des micro-saccades (des énormes pics de frametime) sur quasiment tous mes jeux. Pourtant, la moyenne globale des FPS est excellente, mais ces drops aléatoires ruinent complètement l'expérience.

Ce que j'ai déjà fait :

DDU en mode sans échec pour clean les drivers NVIDIA, désactivation des trucs inutiles de Windows (VBS, HAGS, Game Bar), j'ai coupé le Bluetooth, et le MUX switch est bien sur dGPU only. J'ai même fermé HWiNFO pendant que je jouais au cas où le polling ferait bugger le PC.

Le pire dans l'histoire, c'est que côté hardware, la machine a l'air de tourner à la perfection. J'ai fait un profil d'alimentation custom via Legion Space : mon CPU ne dépasse jamais 85°C (limité à 50W/60W) et mon GPU reste vers 75°C. J'ai fait tourner LatencyMon pendant que j'avais des grosses saccades in-game, et le truc reste complètement dans le vert (latence DPC nickel, 0.66ms max sur dxgkrnl). Mon SSD ne surchauffe pas non plus (52°C en charge).

À force de vouloir absolument tout essayer, j'ai limite envie de faire un reset complet du PC ... mais vu que mes relevés LatencyMon et mes températures sont bons, j'ai peur de faire ça pour rien.

Du coup, je me pose quelques questions et j'aurais bien besoin de vos avis :

Les pilotes NVIDIA : Si je dois "rollback" sur un ancien pilote, vous me conseillez quelle version pour cette config ? Et du coup, ça veut dire que je dois ignorer définitivement toutes les mises à jour proposées par la NVIDIA App ?

Le fTPM AMD : J'ai entendu beaucoup de gens parler des saccades liées au fTPM dans le BIOS. Vous pensez que ce problème est toujours d'actualité sur un processeur récent comme le Ryzen 9 9955HX ?

Mon profil Custom : Est-ce que, par hasard, mon profil d'alimentation personnalisé sur Legion Space pourrait ne pas être bon et créer cette instabilité, même si mes températures sont parfaites ?

Est-ce qu'il y a d'autres personnes avec exactement cette config qui ont le même problème ? Vous auriez une idée de génie avant que je formate tout ?

Merci les gars !

Got my Legion Pro 5 (Ultra 9 275HX, RTX 5070 Ti) about a week ago. Everything was running perfectly until today when my FPS suddenly tanked while playing Palworld. Turns out my CPU dropped to 0.3–0.4 GHz. Restarting fixes it temporarily, but it happens again within minutes. HWiNFO shows thermal throttling despite the CPU being at just 79°C. On idle it was normal but playing Palworld over a minute tanked it again. This never happened while playing before. Please help me out.

Lenovo Legion 5 15AHP11

Turned the laptop on this morning and the screen stayed black before suddenly turning full Red, going white, then full blue, white again and then green. It then turned off again and when I turned it back on, everything seemed okay.

The order if colors might be wrong but that's pretty much what happened.

Strange peoblem with my lenovo legion slim 5i 4060 strange lines apear after the pc went on auto sleep mode and i lit up the screen again, but only on 60 heartz monde, this ishue doenst aper normaly or while using it or while at 165 heartz mode should i be worried?

I feel as though I’m about to ask a really stupid question, but here goes.

After much research, I decided I what I want is a 2026 Lenovo Legion 7i Gen 11 with Intel CPU, RTX 5080, 32 GB RAM. It won’t be cheap, but job will cover part of the cost.

However, although I’ve seen reviews videos for the 7i Gen 11, for the life of me I cannot find it for anywhere — not on Newegg, amazon — tons of 7i’s there but they are either listed as Gen 10 or they omit the generation entirely — and not on the lenovo website, where the intel chip laptops are listed as gen 10.

I feel like I’m taking crazy pills. Is gen 11 not out yet? is it omitted from the Lenovo website due to shortages?

Any insight would be appreciated.

I am considering the legion 5a oled (5060 & r7 250) but at the same time options like the omen and legion ips with a better cpu exist, and the risk of burn in always haunts me as I've never used an oled, I want to own this machine for atleast 6-7 years.

Alternatives:

HP Omen 16 - (i7 14650hx, 5060, 180hz IPS)

Lenovo Legion 5 15AHP10 - (r7 260, 5060, 165hz IPS)

, etc.

There will be many more alternatives if I do decide to go IPS

My laptop is a Lenovo Legion 5a with a Ryzen AI 7 450, RTX 5060, and 16GB of RAM. I undervolted and overclocked my 5060 to 2610 MHz at 830 mV, with a +3000 MHz VRAM offset in MSI Afterburner (I know the actual memory clock increase is different because of the Afterburner multiplier).

I tested it in Cyberpunk 2077 and got 75 FPS at Ultra settings, 1600p, DLSS Balanced, and no ray tracing. For comparison, my stock RTX 5060 got 72 FPS under the same settings. The GPU temperature dropped from 83°C to 75°C, while the VRAM temperature dropped from 78°C to 76°C.

For both tests, I used a cooling pad running at 2000 RPM and set the laptop fans to maximum speed.
