Tip #6:
Cap the battery to 70-80% charge to preserve the life of your battery. Especially if you keep your laptop plugged in all the time.
THIS! I was so happy lenovo had that feature included in their legion series. Especially since I keep my laptop plugged in majority of the time this is a HUGE hack to save your battery that I feel like not many people know/use.
I can't do that with my Hp Victus
Asus has it as well, great feature

@@soyrizzo seems it doesn't come standard in every laptop. Which one do you have?
The funniest thing is when you get a new gaming laptop and play a game that is 10+ years old and ran perfectly fine on your old one. New games are rarely as good as the old ones.
The worst thing is playing a retro game(typically 15+ years) and they no longer work on your new system cause of compatibility issues without mods and fixes
Or the game's pc port was just bad since launch, looking at you og dead space.
Haha same here! When I got my Asus GL502VT in 2016, I used it to play SimCity 4 (a 2003 game). Then when I replaced it with my current G513RM in late 2023, I’m using it to play Anno 1404 (a 2009 game)!
@@zeifelI’m gonna be using my 2023 Legion 5i Pro to play Age of Empires 2💀
This is true.
Hah, except some new games like zero dawn or control. I use my 2022 laptop to play the tomb raider triology from like 1996 😂
Don't forget that sometimes updates introduce regressions instead
specially windows ones
Cleaning dust is so important really, difference I saw is the capability to run a game at 4k medium instead of 1080p low, just cleaned dust nothing else.
How does dust get inside?
This is the only thing ive never doner cause i dont know how to do it, should i take it to a professional?
@@r4m0m777 can of compressed air easy at home fix
@@Razermantis7649 isnt that bad for ur laptop? some ppl i know said if u accidently blow into the fans u can destroy ur motherboard coz the spinning fans generate electricity?
This is such a big fat load of BULLSHIT. Cleaning dust does help, but no way in hell is it making a difference of 1080p low to 4k medium
My 1660Ti Legion 5 is still good for me. I don't play the latest games, I buy the ones that have been out a while now and on sale. And any e-sports game it still handles well.
Same here. I got a 1060 6gb dell g7 with 32gb ram upgraded from 8gb, 2tb storage, 8th gen i7. I can still play a lot of newer games. Cod 3.0, apex, etc etc...
Playing older games like destiny 2 on high settings looks beautiful. I WANT to upgrade, but dont really NEED to lol
Same here with my 3050Ti Legion 5. I mostly play older games & e sports titles. It runs games like RDR 2 & God of War fairly well at med-high settings since I get around 60-75 fps & on most esports titles I play are always over 144fps since I play those at lower settings. One thing I've stopped doing that he mentioned was the driver updates, specifically graphics drivers. I recently had a weird issue like 2 months ago when I'd been updating drivers almost as soon as they got released & had some random artifacts showing up on my display after that update(i think it was a January update). I reverted my drivers & the issue went away & after reading through a few threads on different platforms I realised it's not always the best thing to download some of the graphics drivers too soon especially in my case where I don't typically play any of the newer games.
A man of culture! I have the exact one and you'd be surprised how well it still performs with many new games brother. Just needs a few tweaks. I'm currently playing Horizon Forbidden west with 50+ FPS with medium yo high settings. Such a BEASTLY laptop to this day! I'm finally getting ready to upgrade though, picking up the Strix 16 this month. Found one with the 4060 and 13650HX at a decent price.
Same, 1660 Ti, different brand. Just look what's still playable on a Steam Deck. In a way, mass gaming is still back with the venerable 1060 era and the 1660 Ti has more grunt than that. Allegedly things have moved on to 3060, but until mass hits at least 1080p 60fps Ray Tracing Ultra Cyberpunk 2077, the needle has barely moved. I thought we'd at least be 4k 120 fps mid by now. I feel like I'll be dead before that's mass adopted affordable, things are so slow.
@@kiekeyz what price did you find it for?
Hey Jarrod, just noticed that you added audio tracks to your videos with 3 more languages (Hindi, Portuguese and Spanish). I appreciate your efforts and commitment to bring Hindi as the third overall of your first selection of languages (second addition after Portuguese & Spanish from the Framework 16 review video) to have a DUB.
If possible, please can you make a video on elaborating the method and procees you used to do dubbing in these 3 languages. It is sincerely appreciated. Thank you.
Hindi is done with eleven labs, it takes my voice and tries to make it sound the same. I pay for this service. The other 2 are provided by UA-cam, but don't sound as good, but are free.
@@JarrodsTech thanks mate really appreciate your effort to make content accessible to Indians who may find it easier to understand in Hindi (I can understand both so no worries)
Hi Jarrod, awsome content as always. 😊
Will there be a review about the lenovo legion 5i (2024) soon?
Regards.
For me, tip 1 depends on the situation. Sometimes, new updates can cause errors and be more unstable than the old version. For example, I updated to the latest GPU driver last March and couldn’t share my screen via Discord and OBS. I didn’t know where the problem originated until I realized it was due to the update and rolled back the GPU driver.
My laptop has a 1060 and it's still rocking!
Next video can you talk about refurbished gaming laptops. The pros, cons & whether it's worth buying?
Tip #6: Repaste your CPU and GPU if they are throttleing a lot and you dont see the performance which these components usually manage to reach.
I had to repaste my Legion 5 2021 last year in summer because the thermal paste was completely dried out. After I repasted it with PTM 7950 it was like 50% faster and not near as loud as before and I also got even higher scores in TimeSpy and Cinebench than after purchase.
PTM 7950 is amazing man
Your comment cuts off before you explain that you "repasted" with Honeywell pads. I would not consider this repasting, those are thermal pads
@@charno_zhyem First try then comment. Honeywell PTM 7950 is EXCELLENT
@@charno_zhyem its also called "repasting" for PTM, at least thats how everyone is calling it in LaptopWiki Community in Discord and where i found out about PTM 7950. :)

@Jorrods, Which laptop do you use for personal use? Maybe you should do a video on that.
If you use notebook, then search and change the video card bios. If you use 95w, change to 115w and then undervolt it. This is free 5 to 8 fps, using the same amount of power. Tested and worked
Good advise.
I wanna know what's it like to reinstall windows on a modern laptop as I have never tried it, like some modern laptops have some specific features, some internal apps that it comes with that allows controlling our laptop further like changing RGB, overclocking etc etc, they also sometimes have some custom group policy settings and all... After reinstalling windows how do we get these back again?
Nice tips, thanks for putting them out
@JarrodsTech can you do an more in deep review about the oculink port ?
You told in ine of the video to run games while on wall charger.
How will i disable my battery then?
Depending on your laptops brand, some laptops have the option to stop charging at 60 or 80 percent. Asus has it. Idk about other brands
What i do to preserve the cpu and gpu is limit the fps and undervolt it and where i can use the IGPU on the cpu to preserve the power. My laptop has freesynce so 40 fps for me is fine on story based games.
My Predator PH317-54VH with 240Hz display still rocks.
I plan on getting the somewhat new Alienware M18 R2 laptop with a 4090, I9 INTEL Processor, 64gb of ram, 16 GB of graphical memory and with a mouse, mousepad and the computer it'll be almost 4,000$. Should I get it? I've read conflicting opinions some people say that Alienware is terrible other than their laptops which are supposedly decent , others say everything they make is garbage and to get a Razer or ASUS but the ASUS from what I've found doesn't have the same amount of RAM as the Alienware. Thoughts?
I am Planning to buy my first gaming laptop
I am confused between Strix G16 and Zephyrus G16, both are rtx4060
Can you recommend what should i buy?
Can you talk about Acer Nitro V15 with rtx2050, does it worth it?
is it okay to keep my laptop charging 24/7 while i have conservative mode? i dont want the battery to be damaged by keeping it at 100%
Can you please try to get your hands on a laptop with the RX 7900M from AMD and compare it against the RTX 4080 and 4090
waiting for your review on MSI Stealth 16 AI Studio!
I think no. 6 would be cooling. A dedicated cooling fan can really increase the lifespan of your motherboard and fans.
undervolting would do better than that, directly reducing head and load on the motherboard without losing any performance.
can you please do a video on the new gen 9 lenovo slim 7? with amd vs intel would be amazingg

Hey quick question, I'm getting Lenovo Legion pro 5i with i9-14900hx cheaper than i9-13900hx any reason for the 14th gen being cheaper??
Are rest of the specs a 1:1 match? You are not purchasing just the processor, Lenovo might have cut corners slightly here and there. 13th and 14th gen - there's hardly any difference. Also consider that 14900 HX is not comparable to 13900HX, it's more of a 13980 hx competition or upgrade.
I compared both in my area. Looks like they forgot to update the 13th gen pricing. They are charging more for 4070, same ssd, same ram on gen8 vs gen9. I configured a i9 14900hx, 32gb, 1tb SSD, 4zone RGB, 4070 and 240hz 100% sRGB display vs Ryzen 7 7745HX, 32gb ram, 1tb SSD, 4zone RGB, 4070, 240 hz 100% sRGB display.
Cost difference is INR 9.5K. 5.5% more money for a slightly lesser processor.

And the last time I checked the max upgrade for i9-13900hx was just a little less than ₹200k
@@soumyachakraborty4150Why not go for dci-p3 display? It is of the same price as srgb
@@utkarshrastogi8791 I ended up purchasing 100% DCIP3, got the Rog scar.
The colors are colourful. I am used to sRGB on my legion, closer colors to natural. My laptop is not the only screen I use. I tune my colors for natural, my pixel is set to natural colors, I don't know what it is, but my eyes are more towards less color which is personal bias tbh. Go to a store and compare both the panels side by side
Should i buy a laptop with rtx 2070 and i7 10750H or rtx 3050 6gb and i5 13400h?
@JarrodsTech I was just thinking today, it would be fun and entertaining if you made a video about USB-C charging. 60w, 100w, 125w, 160w? Is it safe? How should you configure your settings? What laptops can handle it, which ones should you avoid due to it degrading battery health. You could go down so many paths with it, and I have yet to see a video explain it all.
jarrod i just got a laptop and its having a ddr5 12gb ram stick, but the problem is that in my country only 8 and 16gb ram sticks are sold now what should I do? buying which ram would be a better option 8gb or 16 for getting that dual channel boost?
Buy 8 gb 20gb in dual channel will be good
Hey, I saw some of your recent videos. They’re good but I’m still very confused. My budget is $4,000 or under and I don know what to get. All of the seem bad, I had my eye on the Lenovo i7 before your video. What is a good pc at that price point? Any advice would be appreciated.

I write these on my MSi GE60 2PL Apache that I bought way back in December 2014. It's still my only computer. I work on it, watch tv shows on it and play games on it. Recently I completed Spider-Man Miles Morales. And Baldur's Gate 3 is fairly playable. Yes, graphics is on the lowest of the low, but still... 10-year old laptop being able to run anything modern deserves some respect.
I have the asus scar 3/ i7 9750h 45w tdp but burst to 60w/ rtx 2070 mobile 115w burst to 150w/ corsair vengeance 32gb ddr4 2666mhz/ evo 970 1tb nvme ssd/ i play red dead online 4k resolution ultra graphic settings at 60 fps avg.. dlss ultra looks amazing! If these game developers optimized their games with more passion like rockstar we would not have to upgrade our laptops near as often.. modern warfare warzone same thing 4k 60 fps dlss.. funny in 2019 i had the second most powerful gpu available in a laptop and now people are saying its 1080p only..This laptop shreds most games in 1440p lol! I say fix the games... Red dead online proves it.. game is a masterpiece and imo still the greatest game ever made.. thx for ur astounding laptop videos.. i am in love w mine 4 years later.. repasting made a world of difference as asus thermal paste sucked..i highly recommend to anyone if they get a product from asus look at their thermal solution before using and repaste/repad as needed.. it was literally powder on the cpu.. i used corsair xtm 70 after cleaning.. what is your opinion anyone on xtm 70?
Bro, I am having Asus Rog Strix G16 of i9-13980HX with 4080 RTX, While Playing games CPU went to 95C and GPU to 87C during performance and turbo mode but after Disabling the Turbo Boost, Now CPU temperature dropped to 15C now I am getting like 75-80C but I am still getting GPU to be 85-87C with 100% GPU usage and ROG boost OC, but when i change the mode to Silent GPU drops to 65-72C but you know FPS drops to 10-30FPS which is fine because I wanted to play long hours of gaming so please
Please help me with, I should get GPU around 65-80C during performance mode but HOW ?
Tip 5 is easily the option everyone should know. People should accept the fact they can lower the settings to get more FPS in modern games. Even on low settings, I think modern games look good.
Hello I purchased a legion 5 in 2021 after seeing your review. Absolutely love it. Recently bought a laptop cooler iets 500 works fantastic but someone has told me that it could damage the laptop fans have you heard anything could it be true? Would forcing air through it put load on the fans?
No, its like saying blowing air at a fan will damage a fan - the air will just go with the flow of the moving fans in your laptop. If your laptop's fan are not moving then that is a different story! For example when I clean my laptop fans I make sure to secure the fan in place with a tooth pick then shoot air into it to clear dust.
@@gc4924 hello thanks I just didn’t want to damage anything. I only run my cooing pad at about 3 quarter capacity and I can play for 2 to 3 hours and the gpu goes no higher than 60 so it really works well.

I have a question which legion should I get Lenovo slim 5 16’ ryzen 7 7840hs with 4060 or the pro 5i 16’ i7 with 4070 this is strictly for gaming btw and want the best experience plz help me the game specifically i will be playing is COD and mostly fortnite at low settings
The 4060 is good enough to play just COD and Fortnite and most AAA games as well. But if you have the budget for a 4070 and want to try out more demanding games in the future, then you can buy a 4070 version.

Is 5 years on the same windows installation a long time?
I have a Lenovo Z50-75 that still works and is sparkly clean inside (I run some old programs that are incompatible with newer windows versions on it when I need it), Have a four year old Legion 5 (2020), which I repasted with liquid metal and still rocks. Had the battery always at 60% charge, because most of the time it was docked. After 4 years it has only 52 cycles and 99% of life left. Gave it to my son. And bought the Strix G16 With the 13980HX and 4080 as a workstation/gaming laptop. Quite happy with that thing, that has desktop performance. Great for my work. So if you care for your things, they will serve you a long time.
Always smart cap FPS to not overload laptop. It will run quieter, cooler and longer.
Just upgrade my Lenovo Legion 7 with more ram from 16 gb to 32 gb plus an 2Tb ssd.
please review g16
I bought the extended 4 year warranty & one time battery replacement for my legion 7 pro. It's the i9 rtx 4090 model so better paying a little extra for extended warranty.
Hey guys, i have a question. I bought omen 16 with Ryzen 7 5800H and RTX 3070 last year. At first couple month, the laptop run smoothly. But lately sometimes the laptop screen just went black in unexpected random moment, but the rest of the laptop is still on (fans and the keyboard backlight still on) and sometimes the Mouse pad is less responsive, i had to press the F11 button (to disabled and re-enabled the mouse pad).
Anyone had same problem or know the solution for this?
Test if the same thing happens to en external plugged monitor. If the monitor is going black the same way, it’s a problem with your GPU and maybe a clean driver install will help. If the monitor works totally fine, the problem is probably with your laptop screen itself or the connection to the screen.

My MSI GT60 is more than 10 years old. 2013. GTX 780M Survived windows 8 to 8.1 to 10 different major updates. A world tour on plane, trips on motorcycle and some party. Upgraded ssd's then ram with a total of 3 ssd and 1 hdd witch all working fine.
But it seems i've been victim of programed obsolescence with the GPU die same year of the end of Nvidia Driver support in 2019. Only 6 years after buy and driver support.

Hello, i have a question. I have a lenovo loq with i5-12450h and rtx 4050 6gb, should i undervolt my cpu or gpu? I heard there are some benefits but i'm not sure. Can you help me with an opinion please?
are you contented with the performance of it without undervolting? is it overheating?
You cannot undervolt this model.
Just limit the wattage from lenovo vantage if you have temprature problems.
@@InfuzedPH in some games, yes, it's overheating and it's reducing the performance, to be honest i never tested to see the temperatures. I talked with a friend and he undervolted his PC Cpu and gpu and he told me that games he saw a boost in fps, but i don't know about the laptop If it's worth it, i don't want to mess anything really😅
@@bigboiboigboy2713 i know that, but reducing the wattage from Lenovo vantage is not similar to undervolting? Sorry If i'm wrong, i'm kinda new to these things😅
@@nee172hello, legion y540 user here..
Undervolt is really worth it (if your system capable). My 9750h at full load was reached 95'C limit. After undervolting the cache -125mV and 225mV core, it only reach 83'C at full load. And got better benchmark score.
Sadly no, Vantage cannot do undervolt, only power limit and fan profile (only with preset provided by lenovo of course). For undervolt you need Intel XTU or Throttlestop.
And another sadly, from i understand, most 12th and 13th gen intel laptop cannot be undervolted except HX series (and K series for desktop).
But you still can do thermal management using Throttlestop by limiting its power or clock speed. For example i have 4 profile in throttlestop. Each profile has different clock speed limit. From max clock speed (4.0ghz) to slow clock speed (3.4ghz) for quiet working.
Also most laptop shared heatpipe between cpu and gpu. Reducing cpu heat potentially reducing gpu heat and vice versa. You can tweak both to create good balance. You dont always need max cpu clock for good fps, it's depend on the games. Most of the time i only use 3.4 or 3.7Ghz clock limit for gaming.
Another thing you can do is to undervolt your gpu using msi afterburner. And using frame limiter (i prefer RTSS).
For more these kind of knowledge i suggest reading throttlesop threads in TPU forum (i swear this is not ads😅, i don't even have account there). The creator of throttlestop, 'unclewebb', loves to spread his amazing knowledge there..
To everyone suggesting repasting: I highly recommend installing the Honeywell PTM7950 pads instead. Paste lasts couple of months, a year max, the pads last 5 years. I installed my pads literally yesterday and my temps dropped by +20c, and that is before they "settled" (they gain maximum efficiency after a couple of cycles). Warning: the installation is a bit finnicky, so buy a bigger size just in case you screw up the first couple of times you try to cut it and apply it.
7950 in pad form or paste form? where can I buy it?
@@ProAvgeek6328previous comment literally says pads
@@mariz9330 I wanted to know if paste form worked just as well
Good thermal pastes usually can last a few years, even. Some of them do cure way too fast. But yes, have handled 7950, can confirm they're really painful
@@ProAvgeek6328 paste version requires about 12 hours before you assemble the heatsink again. Pad is objectively better and instantaneous
Hi guys, I’m planning to buy a laptop pc but stuck between a LEGION PRO 5 with an RYZEN 7 7745hx and 4070 32gb (2560 1600) qhd PRICE ==> 1700$ // asus rog strix g18 i9 13gen 4060 16gb (1920 1200) fhd PRICE ==>1800$
Thx in advance
I just try to think of not arriving 😉 to make it last longer
Legion 5 AMD 2020 owner here. Have laptop for 3 years. Great engineers from Lenovo made two SKUs for cooling system, with removable fans (which Jarod showed) and with non-removable fans (guess which SKU is in my laptop). So good luck with removing lint from fans if you as lucky as me. Moreover, due to bad design, after a while, motherboard is bending slightly because of pressure from cooling solution, so I guess that why 1 ddr channel is not working right now for me and I need to take it to the repair with proper equipment and brave repairman (look for the process to re-solder CPU in Lenovo, because of their compound it's a mess, sometimes instead of just re-solder repair technicians just grind the processor down
I still have my Triton 500 with the 2060 in it, still kicking and hooked up to my LG TV. I can still play most everything at 4k, 1440p, or very few needing to go down to 1080p. No need to upgrade yet!
- Get a laptop cooling pad
- Undervolt the CPU/GPU
i got my first gaming laptop, the first instinct to not let this laptop bite more than this thing can chew. i always run on low settings, though i still push for performance for FPS.

Waiting for your review on acer predator neo 16 and legion 7i❤
Jarrod i need help suggestion
My legion slim 7i 2022 laptop hinges are so tight the screeen is curved from side and doesn't close ramains elevated and the store owner says the hinges aren't repaairble and need to get new pair but they aren't available in My country(Nepal) what can i do?
Is it worth installing tiny 11?
I would also recommend to run it with as low power limits and temps as you can. Lots of recent laptops simply die because their power delivery components overheat. Running you cpu/gpu at 85-90C is not good as well. It is way harder to find a working 5-10yo gaming laptop with high-end cpu/gpu because of that. Don't waste power, limit fps if you don't need it to render at 200 fps, boost fan and etc.
Except, the gaming industry won't let you keep your rig THAT long. System requirements is skyrocketing like crazy 😅
Thank you for video, I wish you could mention about undervolt
exactly
Had 84,2 Wh battery capacity on my Lenovo Legion 7 rtx 3070, (which is quite funny, it is supposed to be 80 Wh :D). my friend bought one too, almost at the same time, with quite similar capacity. I had it on 70 % battery basically all the time, he had it plugged at 100 % all the time. 2 Years later, his battery is at 70 Wh, mine is at 83 :D
How good is the 2022 rog g14 (rx6800s)?!

Why does my Lenovo Legion 5 Pro 2021 doesn't update the Nvidia Game ready driver automatically? , I just checked and it was on version 546.29 , the new one 552.12 , Do i have to check the website every time to see if there is an update?
Brilliant video. My laptop is 6 months old and i plan on using it for at least another 5 years. Cheers
Do I need heatsink in laptop for m.2 gen 3 wd sn570 1tb?
It's second driver for gaming
I've been reading yes on forums
Updating software made my laptop slower. OEMs do planned obsolescence.
not only that, Windows 11 only supports newer computers. For example, My Intel 8-th gen laptop from 6 years ago doesn't support it.
