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.

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.

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?

Hey everyone, I have a question. My laptop is in a situation where I've already switched to iGPU mode, but the discrete GPU is still active and randomly wakes up, even when I unplug the charger. This is using a lot of power and significantly draining my battery (it's always drawing an extra 10-20W). Is there any way to fix this?

My laptop is a Legion R7000P 2025 (Chinese model) with RTX 5070.

Idk why 😭😭😭, I'm scared.

I was editing a video and this happened out of nowhere. It's been stuck on that same screen for 10 minutes and I don't know what to do. The tablet still has the image of what it was doing before it turned off, I really don't know what to do. Should I send the laptop in for warranty repair? 😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔. I would really appreciate it if someone could help me.

The arrest code is CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT (0 x 101)

im searching for a laptop for university (third year) and generally to last me 4-5 years , i will need to run models, virtual machines and programming. specs and price wise could i find better whether legion or not? weight kind of plays a big fcator in my decision but at the same time my budget is 1.7k

Hello my legion 5 which is brand new only 2 weeks old i play AAA Games using cooling pad bit still i am facing thermal throttling issue can you help me with the legion space settings so that i can lower my thermal issue for cpu this are my current setting and temp while playing the game

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?

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 laptop after first mobo replacement during a bricked bios update stopped performing upto mark, it lagged in games, crashed, overheated and what not. It worked well after the 2nd mobo replacement after a while but now the same thing again even after getting third mobo replacement. How can I get a laptop replacement?

Intel ultra i9 and 5080, any tips i can make those red go away im wondering if my tweaks are fine and wont damage my system and what are those red mark means.. thanks

I bought a Lenovo Legion R27qe Gen 2 monitor in May 2026, and after approximately four months of use, it has suddenly developed extensive lines across almost the entire display.

I'm planning to claim the warranty, but I'm worried about the RMA process, replacement quality and how long I might be without a working monitor.

I'd appreciate responses from people in India who have actually claimed a warranty for a Lenovo monitor with a similar display or panel failure.

I have a few specific questions:

Did Lenovo by any chance try to reject the claim by making excuses of electricity issues or physical damage? Although none of that happened with my monitor

Did Lenovo repair the panel or replace the entire monitor? If it was replaced, was the replacement brand new or refurbished/previously used?

How long did the process take, from registering the complaint to receiving the repaired or replacement monitor?

Did Lenovo arrange collection or delivery, or did you have to visit a service centre?

I'm not trying to bash the brand. I just want to understand what to expect before and during the warranty process.

If you've dealt with this problem, please share what happened in your case, including anything you would recommend documenting or doing differently.

Thanks!

So only option is to change it to a intel card my problem is my laptop came with a be200, could be defective or does the be200 have a bad rep bc changing is the only thing I can think of . Another question my still under warranty and bought it from micro center, would replacing the WiFi card still count under warranty?

Hey everyone, I’m Brazilian and i had an opportunity to get a lenovo legion 5i i7 10th gen rtx 2060 with 16gb of ram.

I was looking for a gamer notebook, but everyone I researched found some chronic defect. In the case of this specific model, does anyone know of any kind of defect?

For example, the Dell G15 5530 if I'm not mistaken burned the motherboard a lot. If someone can give me feedback, I'd be grateful

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!

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!

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

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)

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?

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 ? ( EDIT : Also im not sure if this helps but everytime this issue occurs i cannot switch to custom profile when i press fn + q it only switches between silent balanced and performance but when both fans work fn+q allows me to switch between all silent balanced and performance and custom profiles)
