    Great review! I've been seeing this system for pretty cheap as well. I had a question for you - did Lenovo ever fix the BIOS to let the 12700 get to it's proper speed and power consumption? Also, would you recommend undercoating to help keep temps down? And lastly, it's there XMP?
    Thanks in advance!

      I bought this exact model for sale. Though I think just 500 GB will eventually get cramped.
      I know absolutely nothing about PC upgrade or building at all. Can you please or anyone recommend me what kind of product I should buy to upgrade the storage? If I need to buy extra wires or plugs too. I've been seeing the WD products or Seagate but I'm still unsure what is best to get or if those products will fit inside this kind of PC/Tower.
      You did a good job unboxing and showcasing the inside so I think that helped a lot though, thank you!

If you want an SSD for much faster data transfer, you'll have to get a 3.5-to-2.5" adapter like he discusses at 12:40 since the included tray only supports a 3.5". An adapter like that will be pretty cheap. Then it's up to you to figure out what kind of drive you want. Most of the big brands are good. I usually stick with WD, Kingston & Samsung, but that's my personal preference for storage as their products have always served me very well.

    I purchase the Lenovo Ideacentre gaming 5i just like the one you have and after watching your great video I learned a couple of things. Although I'm a little confused on the hardware. In your video you said that I would only be able to upgrade with a hdd instead of a ssd drive because of the connectors. I would like to add a ssd drive but Lenovo said the max upgrade on the memory is 32GB on the Ram and 1terabyte on the memory m.2 and 2 terabytes on the hdd and no ssd drive. What happens if you exceed the max upgrade on the m.2 and install a 2 terabytes ssd instead of hdd drive? Thanks for the great video.

    Just some feedback: if you are running benchmarks, state what resolution you are doing with the text showing fps. I did not go through the entire video because it was boring. Good intro, but dont bore us with taking it apart, unless you have a timestamps for each activity so we can skip ahead. Lots to improve but appreciate the effort. I am trying to determine quickly if it is worth getting it and what are the drawbacks and whether can be upgraded with other parts. I just couldnt get the info as you did not state if cooler mounting was standard, whether motherboard can be moved to a different case, whether the PSU can be moved to a different case, etc.

      ​​@@paradigm2841ecause XMP/DOCP isn't 'standard', it's a conservative overclock that DIY PC users take for granted.
      You need to check the non-XMP speed rating (or the speed at 1.2V instead of whatever XMP runs), as THAT is the actual DDR RAM's JEDEC standard specs, and is what OEM prebuilt/laptops etc. run 99.9% of the time.

    • @induspherix
      @induspherix Рік тому

      ram compatibility can be selective with OEMs, though I do not know how Lenovo shakes down in these kinds of trends.
      I do, however, rather suspect that the motherboard these builds come with are not realistically equipped to enable anything close to the full potential of the processors they are sold with (at least not with the Intels). Emphasis on suspicion, but the way the system was already set to throttle so much power flow for the i7 in the demonstration is the most obvious clue among a handful of others that it is not at all an arrangement that can sustain any kind of overclocking.
      Not to say that it was such a bad purchase, but it is my impression that you might gain a good deal more performance (sustainably) if you moved the processor and the GPU you already got from the Lenovo into a motherboard equipped with better VRM and thermal management features so you can get better access to overclocking potential.

    I had purchased this two weeks ago. At first, it was working just fine. I upgraded the ram to 32Gb and upgraded the NVMe 1Tb PCIe Gen 4. I also installed a SATA 2Tb SSD. I use it for gaming exclusively. Readers: This setup will run most games at 1080p high or ultra and 1440p at high only, or the FPS will drop. The thermal profile inside the PC is absolutely sub-par. The top of the PC is getting extremely hot. The heat is not coming from the CPU but from the GPU. Buyer beware!! If you are only a casual gamer and use it for office work, this is a great PC. Mine is going back to Best Buy tomorrow, and I am picking up the Legion T5. Oh if you think of upgrading the cooler on the CPU you will be fighting every inch, because you can only fit an LGA1700 low profile without a backplate. The only cooler I have found that can replace the stock cooler is: Thermaltake Gravity i3 Intel LGA 1700 - you can screw it down in the original holes.

      ssd is upgradable, the psu is technically upgradable but it uses the ATX12VO standard so you'll have a hell of a time finding a replacement. the cooler definitely sucks, but with power limits turned off my cpu can run a little below 3.9ghz on all P-cores at 90C under full load, which is perfectly safe. there is a less destructive way to install a new cooler, i believe some AIO kit has standoffs that work in the case.

      I don't have the definitive response, but context clues tell me you might need to get a whole different motherboard to do that. Original manufacturer builds like Dell and Lenovo are proprietary to the cases they are designed with. Plausible that these complications have work arounds, but I am rather confident that it will be a learning experience (high risk of toil and frustration) to plant that motherboard into a standard case design.
