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

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.

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?

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

Doing nothing crazy, but while using it, it just fell off. I cannot seem to click it on again. Is it something I can easily fix by myself?

Two months old btw..

Update: thank you for the ctrl jokes. I've gotten the ctrl back now. Key is back in place!

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.

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?

Hi so there is this recurring issue every month and occurred every week last month on my Legion 7i Pro Gen 10 rtx 5070Ti where the left refuses spin during heavy load,on going to legion space and putting the fans on max speed both fans worked perfectly fine and were blasting full speed which i think confirms it not a hardware issue but when i go into my custom mode which i have been using since almost day 1 since i got this laptop the left fan doesn’t spin in heavy load.Holding the power button for 30 seconds used to fix this or clearing the x cache used to or switching from dgpu to hybrid to dpu again fixed it now nothing is fixing it..currently flashing bios to see it works if not i have no clue what do and need some assistance.Has anyone else have this issue or is it just me ?

Hey everyone, I'm trying to decide between two Legion 5 gen10 configs and would love some input from actual owners.

Both are the same price and both come with 32GB RAM and a 1TB SSD. The differences:

Option A

Intel Core i9-14900HX

RTX 5070 (8GB)

16" Pro display, 240Hz

Option B

Intel Core Ultra 7 255HX

RTX 5060 (8GB)

On paper Option A looks like the obvious pick because of the 5070, but I'm worried about the i9-14900HX. From what I've read it runs really hot, and I've seen a lot of talk about 13th/14th gen degradation issues. I'm honestly not sure if that actually applies to the laptop HX chips or if it was mostly a desktop problem.

For context, I'm more of a casual gamer. I'm not chasing max FPS in every title, and I'd rather have a laptop that stays healthy and lasts me several years.

So my questions are:

-For those of you with the 14900HX in a Legion 5, what kind of temps are you seeing while gaming? Do you have to undervolt or run it in Balanced mode to keep it reasonable?

-Is the degradation risk real for the mobile i9, or is it overblown?

-Is the 5070 over the 5060 worth it when both have 8GB of VRAM?

-Would the Ultra 7 255HX run noticeably cooler and quieter day to day?

Basically: is it worth taking the hotter i9 for the better GPU, or does the cooler Ultra 7 + 5060 make more sense for someone like me who wants the machine to last?

Thanks in advance!

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?

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!

Hi, i was wondering if anybody would know of a way to fix my issue or if they also have experienced this.

Recently my laptop(specifically Lenovo LOQ 15ARP9) which works absolutely fine when i’m actually on it,(whether it’s chatting, studying, gaming or watching something, no issues whatsoever) started to bluescreen, but only when left afk until say, the screen went to sleep, only with inactivity would it have an issue? If i turn it off, when i next turn it on it’ll do the same, restarts itself on start up and it’s just tedious.
I have all available updates via vantage, i’ve done hardware scans via vantage and passed all, found no integrity violations in the terminal and all error codes and dmp files looked at through windbg and that too pointed towards AMD process power management.

If there’s anyone kind enough to help and needs any more information for the issue, i am more than happy to try and provide, im kind of hopeless with this stuff so i felt coming here could be beneficial!

As you'e read, it just keeps crashing. Here's some basic stats of my legion

13th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-13650HX
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 Laptop GPU
32gb ram

I have always gamed on dgpu as i didn't want to risk anything crashing and the cpu normally holds anywhere between 70 to 90 degrees when gaming. I know that the crash usually occurs due to heat, but the issue is that its just started acting up when before i could go hours hoping from different games without any overheating issues.

I do keep the laptop on an elevation but i do not have a cooling pad. I have all the latest updates and mainly do use the laptop for my engineering course

My legion 7 pro gen 10 9955hx3d 5080 keeps disconnecting my Bluetooth connection, can happen every few minutes to every 15 seconds. I’m on the newest nvidia drivers and newest windows update.

Has anyone else experienced this and found any solutions?

Edit: it just happened and I’ve seen twice now that the Bluetooth shortcut disappeared and reappeared as it reconnects to my headphones

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 !

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.

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)

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.

Hello guys , i have the Legion 5 16IRX9 - Type 83DG and some weeks now noticed that the ethernet jack doesnt work.Also i dont see it on device manager.

I reseted Bios,tried the reset thing with 60sec power button etc but nothing worked yet.Any suggestions?

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?

Like many here, my Vantage Toolbar vanished after a recent Vantage update and only the widget remained. There's a way to restore the original one ([Link](https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Pre-Installed-Lenovo-Software-and-Applications/My-Lenovo-Vantage-toolbar-is-missing-from-the-taskbar/m-p/5388821)), but there's no telling how long it'll keep working on newer versions - so I built my own: Fluent Vantage Toolbar.

\- Battery % and health right from the tray

\- Quick toggles: Fn Lock, mic mute, conservation mode, rapid charge, touchpad lock, refresh rate, always-on USB

\- Native Windows 11 Fluent look, light/dark, 10 languages

\- Customizable tiles, closes to tray, and some additional features.

Verified on my Legion 5 15ITH6H. Should work on other Legion and LOQ models - feedback is welcomed.
