So I got this pc based on your review (rtx 4080) I upgrade the psu to 1000w and gpu to 4090, upgraded the bios and everything works so much faster, I wanted to buy the 4090 version but it wasnt available, the cable management and part for the lenovo are the best prebuilt I have seen, btw the AIO had an issue, they changed it for me free... tbh lenovo is now my fav pc
Lenovo did a lot better with this one. Great seeing a much beefier build by them here. Thank you for making us aware about the price hike also. Hopefully they bring that back down in a few weeks. I will be purchasing a 4090 in a week so these videos about SI builds and the reviews help me figure out what to expect when pairing it with other hardware in various builds. Lets me figure out more about what I may need to change out in my own. Always appreciate these down-to-the-point reviews you do and showing what matters. Good stuff man.
Got this for $2490 when it was all said and done. Have had it 1 week. THIS THING IS BEYOND Epic. Used my own ram and pulled a 36k overall timespy score. 39.5k gpu, 24k cpu used my own Ram... Use msi afterburner to boost gpu fans they are set at 40% max no matter the Temps. I dropped gpu Temps by 6 c with a simple curve up to 65%. MONSTER MACHINE
@@Boofwaxyou must have gotten the lower end model, as it comes in 3 teirs. Entry level one on lenovos website starts at $782.99 with the one in this video starting at $2,519.99
I'd be interested in a video or segments that focuses on potential upgrades and/or mods for quality of life, overall boosts/performance, and bells/whistles.
One of the best PC reviews I have ever seen! I love your approach of no BS and a fairly fast pace with all of the facts/results. I'm now a new subscriber... thank you. 👍
I have this exact model. It was awesome for the first three weeks I owned it then one day while playing Cyberpunk it randomly crashed the whole PC to a black screen. After that it wouldn't run any games or any GPU benchmark software without crashing within a couple minutes of playing. It would run CPU benchmark software just fine. I called Lenovo support and was given a replacement which took nearly 2 months to be delivered. I just received it yesterday. So far the replacement seems OK. Great review BTW!
I had the same issue with my system. The problem would only present itself when gaming. The system would just shut down, (NO BSOD) and I would have to unplug and replug to restart the system. I also had an issue with the system not being able to I tried to have the system replaced one day after my 30 days but I spent a considerable amount of time troubleshooting the RAM speed issue and after providing all my data and how to correct this Lenovo credited me for the extra 32GB of RAM I purchased with the system. The credit was the reason Lenovo would not replace the system. Instead, after considerable back and forth and troubleshooting by me Lenovo agreed to send a tech to my home to replace the Mother Board, Power Supply, RTX 4090, and CPU liquid cooler. I think it might have been cheaper to replace the system. The system seems to be working now though I did have two shutdowns that seem to be linked to a Lenovo driver issue per the event log. I updated two items using Intel's driver update checker and everything seems ok now. As for the memory the Z790 motherboard will not run four RAM DIMMs at full speed. You can only use two DIMMs with the Lenovo BIOS update which added RAM boost to get the full 5600 Mhz RAM speed. To get 64GB of RAM you need to use two 32GB DIMMs in slots 2 and 4 with the updated BIOS and boost selected. I am glad to hear your replacement system in working. Unfortunately, due to replacing almost the entire system I will never know what the issue was.
I am not postive if this system will support 128GB of RAM and I would recommend contacting Lenovo directly to confirm. Normally you would install four 32GB DIMMs to get 128GB of RAM. If the system is able to support 128GB of RAM be aware that using all four RAM slots will result in reduced RAM speed due to the restrictions of the Z790 motherboard. @@melodystar5019
The problem with the HP 45L is that there is not a single PCIe slot available. The Legion provides both a PCIEx16 for a full size card and a PCIEx1 for small cards. With the Legion I was able to add a 10GB Ethernet adapter instead of being stuck with a 1 GB Ethernet port on the HP 45L computer. The HP 45L has a brilliant case design which is why it allows the components to run cooler but a mini-ATX motherboard is used that does not fill the case and so could have provided PCIe slots. The big negatives with the Lenovo Legion are no provision for lifting it and no way to turn off the very bright case and logo lights (which can be done with the 45L). In the end I decided to buy neither tower and will wait for new offerings. GPU heat is a problem with the 4090 that draws 450 Watts as compared to the RTX 4080 at 320 Watts. In terms of price performance the 4090 costs 33% more to gain 15% better performance.
Update- I received the Lenovo on Thursday. Setup was a brease, and it is awesome. I ended up increasing the ram to 64GB Corsair Vengence RGB DDR5 5600mhz and added an additional 1TB SSD (Mobo has heat sinks for additional SSDs, and 2 slots are readily available above and below GPU). Changing the ram speed settings was no issue (have to reboot up in safe mode from settings to access advanced bios) Total cost before taxes 2940$ which is a hell of a deal for: 4090 GPU 2tb M.2 Gen 4 SSD I9 13900 CPU with a massive RGB AIO 1200W PSU Runs quiet and temps are stable. Playing Cyberpunk Phantom Liberty at an average of 100FPS at 4k on my LG Oled. This PC does not dissapoint!
Any update on shipping for you?It’s been 6 days and my order hasn’t shipped. I was told by support that the 4090 model isn’t even in transit to Lenovo’s warehouses and could take upwards of a month. I’m wondering if the temporary ban on exporting 4090s to China is the cause, aside from high order volume of that specific model.
Nice! @YoungTrae96 Congrats! That one is super fast too. I almost ran benchmarks with that configuration as well since I knew that would probably be the most purchased one but I ran out of time
@@JustinTechTips All good, I caught it for $2204 + Warranty, I had pcpartpicker setup for prime day, and the prebuild couldn't be beat. My G Skill 64GB ram comes in tomorrow, then I'll be able to install my last nvme. I am salty that I couldn't catch the 7900 xtx for $800.
Hi Justin. Thanks for another excellent review! You also do what I do when I purchase a new PC. Before I even set up my new PC, I'm upgrading it. A keyboard and mouse for my ALIENWARE R8 would have been an extra cost option. To outdo ALIENWARE, my new CORSAIR i8100 didn't even come with either a keyboard or mouse. As you already know, both PCs cost well over $4,000.
@@JustinTechTips Hi Justin. Thank you for your reply. If we were talking cars, this PC would be a Corvette. Mine came with i9-13900KS, RTX 4090, 4TB (2x2) M.2. and 64GB DDR5-5600. The CORSAIR case contained mainly CORSAIR components, PSU, AIO, Fans, etc. I was surprised that most components were not precisely their top-of-the-line products. For a nearly $5,000 price, I expected their best. No keyboard or mouse was a true letdown, though I already have their best ones. This PC is the best pre-built I have ever owned, but it could have been even better. Your review convinced me to purchase this PC, and I thank you for recommending it. Have a nice day, OUTLET.
Great and informative review! I had been considering getting the Alienware R15 but based on this review and a 25% sale Justin linked above, I just ordered the 4090 64GB RAM 2TB M2 SSD version for $3,000 which appeared to beat by a very wide margin the price of any other similarly equipped PC at this time. With Rakuten rebate and an additional 1 year warranty, the total cost was $2850 before tax. The system is scheduled to arrive next week. I will need to increase the storage and potentially replace the RAM to address the speed issue mentioned in the review. For the additional storage, the review mentioned there are three available M.2 slots. What requirements for M.2 drives are there, if any, for compatibility with this system? It sounds like the system includes heat sinks, so an added M.2 drive would not need a heat sink? Will any size of M.2 SSD up to 8TB be compatible? For the RAM replacement , can you achieve the 5600 speed with 2 stick of 32GB RAM (for a total of 64GB)? Thanks in advance for anyone who knows the answers to these questions.
Yes with the bios update and the RAM being placed in only slot 2 and 4 (original way Lenovo inserted ram) it's capable of up to 6600ghz stated by others. I used Corsair donator platinum 6000ghz and worked just fine.
Three M.2 drive slots, two 2.5" SSD drive slots and two mechanical HDD slots. I can't even begin to comprehend what max internal storage would be in this.
Actually, the radiator is in the CORRECT spot as it SHOULD be in front drawing in air. What they have done wrong is have the pipes on the top of the case, the radiator needs to be turned the other way, as it's going to get clogged with bubbles long term. What a shame. But while you are acting all surprised about the radiator being in front, did a light bulb go off and you realised the correlation between the much better CPU temps on this vs other pre builds? That's the reason.
This PC (both the 32 and 64 gb models) is 25% off right now on the Lenovo website! Brings it down to 2999 for the 64 gb model and 2829 for the 32 gb model
Hey there, this exact machine with 2TB and 64GB ram is available for $2820. Does it seem worth it at that price point? The 1TB and 32GB ram is available for $2660, but unsure if either is worth it at this point.
Just picked up this one for $2,176.20 pre-tax with the military discount as well. Can't wait!

Thanks for the video. The 4090 towers are now back in stock but the config are different tho. It only comes with 32GB and 1TB of storage. This is actually my preferred config for $240 less in price. It's listed at $3,780 but I was able to get it for $3,311 instead. 3 yrs of Ultimate Support warranty was only $64 more so why not. I would say for this price it's worth it. Before this I was set on building a custom one but honestly I still have my doubts. This Legion 7i Tower Gen 8 looks nice but a custom similar build 4090 FE (which I already secured) would cost me just a little more (around $3,700), less if I went with a 7800X3D for around $3,400. I think I would be more happy at the end as well. I still have time to cancel my order tho but I will decide later this week to do so or not. My item isn't shopping until early next month anyways.
Agreed, getting 64GB of RAM is a waste as you will never be able to run it at the reported 5600 MHz speed as purchased. You can only get the 5600 MHz RAM speed using two DIMMs in slots 2 and 4. After receiving a refund for the extra memory, Rakuten rebate, Military discount I only paid $2800 for the 64GB, 2 TB, RTX 4090 configurationI was not able to build the same system for less. I added the four year full warranty for less than a $100. The price fluctuates quite a bit with discounts you can get the system for less if you keep checking. The Lenovo system was cheaper than any other system I looked at. It is quite, cool, but is not as fast as some of the other systems but it is still fast enough to run everything now. I did have some issue but I believe have been corrected under warranty.
I case swapped this 4090 set up 10 months ago to a lian li 011 dynamic evo. I used a rog strix 790-h mobo instead of the lenovo mobo. Unfortunately the rgb on the gpu cant be changed without that lenovo motherboard. Only issue i had. Love the lenovo prebuilt just case swapped it for my own pleasure. I have a short vid showing my set up and the newly swapped case and internals
Would love to see a review on this PC with the 13700k/4070ti. Believe it's just different enough. Just picked one of these up today for $1350 on eBay as a refurbished unit. Couldn't beat the deal.
@@Kman31ca Just received yesterday and setup. It's running great. Games are no issue at all 1440p Ultra. I've got a peerless assassin and better ram coming. But it's not really needed, for gaming. If you're into rendering video work, you'll likely want a better CPU cooler. 4070ti is ICE cold. No need for UV. System is nearly silent as is. You got a good one 🫡
@@J.Wick. Ya I was already looking at the cooling system and was thinking of upgrading that as well as the ram. I actually just upgraded it to a 4080 cause I do a lot of 3d rendering and I like the 16g of vram to future proof it a bit more for gaming. Glad to hear yours is running great, now I can't wait for mine. DCS is gonna be blast with this system. Cheers dude.
@@Kman31ca I originally had the 4080 version in cart and slept on it too long. That one was 1500$ an even better deal than the one I did get lol. The one I got has burned thru anything I throw at it so far.
@@J.Wick. That sucks but like you said the 4070ti is still a kick a$$ card. DCS and flight sims is 90% of games I play so the extra oompf I'll get with the 4080 should be enough when I get playing with VR.
This recently went on sale for 25% off and is a really good value right now, and in thinking of picking up the 4080 version. If I plan on playing games in 4K, is it worth the extra $200 or so for an i9, or would an i7 be ok? I'm not really planning on playing any first person shooters where eeking out every fps really matters, but I also don't want to bottleneck myself, at least not too hard.
The 4080 configuration had the 800 or 850 Watt Power Supply where's the 4090 comes with a 1200 Watt PS. That allows for better upgradablity down the road.
@@petersonfamily6223can i change parts later with this build ? Like the powersupply im new to pcs so i just want a good pc but also want to change stuff so i can make it the best pc you can eventually
Great video! So I gotta question I wanna buy a new pc and I’m stuck between 2. The AW R15 RTX4090 i9 4TB 5200Mhz or the Corsair Vengeance i800 RTX4090 4TB i9 6000Mhz. The AW is $600 cheaper 🤔
Hi Justin, I just subscribed and I’m in the market for a desktop gaming PC and my budget is between $1100 to $1300 and this is my first gaming PC. I’ve had an HP Envy laptop with an internal 620 graphics card so I’m nowhere near as familiar with the various machines. I’ve watched your videos on the Omen 25L, Alienware R16 and now the Legion Tower Ri Gen 8 3060. Out of these what would you say is the best choice based on my inexperience and my budget? My intended time of purchase is to be next week, April 2024.
I'm able to buy this PC for $2700 after taxes and everything right now. Could you please explain to me like i'm a 5 year old about the ram issue? What do I need to do after I get it and is this a good price and good deal for this PC? Thank you!
@JAnderson127 It's actually not a huge issue it's just disappointing because it's kindof misleading for XMP (overclocking the RAM) to not work. At best it would still be less than a 5% boost in certain games
I tryed buying the Lenovo 7I RTX4090 but they were out of stock on Lenovos website so I got my self that same computer but with a I9 RTX4080. I hope it works when it comes. lol.
@HondaCivicat3AM Geez! That was quick. It seems like 4090s are getting low in stock across the board right now. You still got a crazy fast PC though! And for a lot less $$ . Did you use my link to visit Lenovo? It's ok if not. Just making sure Lenovo is being honest about what sales come through with my links.. I show a lot of clicks and somehow "no sales" yesterday
@@JustinTechTips No, I would have if this video was released sooner, but I didn’t even know you were making a video of the computer I bought. Sorry about that. This is my first time buying a PC. And it cost me $4k for thing so it better run. Lol. But if I do buy another PC I for sure will use your link to purchase it.
I use Photoshop, Blender, and games frequently. It's a pity that the memory speed isn't the best, but I'm curious to know how much of an impact that will have on my workflow.
I got good deal at $2646 before taxes with this Legion tower w 4090 beast. Im super excited. Not sure if its the best deal but I felt super good with this deal. How to compute this price to performance ration with this 2.6k price? Thanks
I think desktop cases and motherboards need to drop all those USB type A ports and just give us the Type C ports. we really need to start the long slow kill of Type A and one way is to stop giving us 10 Type A ports while 2-4 USB Type C ports. My desktop has 2 Type C to like 8 Type A. I only need 2 Type A for my keyboard and mouse.
The only two devices that I have connected is my keyboard and mouse dongle. Actually I could just use a USB type C cable to USB type C for my keyboard tbh and use Bluetooth for my mouse if I really wanted to. You have legacy devices? Get a dongle. We need to kill Type A or you're just going to keep it here forever because people are too afraid to look forward. Mice, keyboard, printers can be or is wireless these days. The only two things you must need to connect to your computer is a screen and the Power cable. And only one if it's a laptop. Laptops can have zero USB type A and you all have died yet because of the lack of Type A ports so desktops are the same.
Question. Which one would you choose for graphic design and video editing: Corsair Vengeance i7400 i5-13600kf OR Lenovo 5i i7-i3700f. Both are $1699 at bestbuy. Thanks!
@nickelsandgrind just to confirm you are comparing this one bestbuy.7tiv.net/LX2Nr0 vs this one bestbuy.7tiv.net/9gEYQE right? Between those two definitely the Lenovo . It will be quite a bit faster and a much better bang for your buck.
Hi, thanks for the perfect info to help with purchasing. I just bought the Legion Tower 7i Gen 8 (i7-13700KF) with RTX 4080. I bought the version with just 512 GB storage and 16 GB ram because of the better discounted price. I will want to upgrade the storage to 1TB and the ram to 32GB but I don't know what storage and ram is compatible with the motherboard. I contacted Lenova but they wouldn't/couldn't tell me so I'm wondering if you know and can tell me and/or provide links for both compatible upgrades in Canada.
@@5549660so it seems they fixed it? I wonder why wouldn’t it be set to 5600 from the factory? Question for you, do you know why using all four ports slows the frequency? Is four still better than using two 16g?
@@HondaCivicat3AM you can totally change it. The only issue I have noticed is a bit of flickering on startup. There is no impact on the performance of the cars otherwise.
I’m in the market to finally buying my own end game pc but I’m being confused with all those previews and different UA-camrs would anyone suggest the best pc to buy ? Money isn’t an issue just lookin for a pc to play everything on high resolution and enjoy it for few years any suggestions is highly appreciated
I’m having the same issue. I’ve been wanting a pc for like 10 years now and I’m ready to take the plunge…but I can’t figure out what pc would be good and not have any issues…I really like this one in the video, as I was actually looking at the Legion 7i laptops before, but I’m not sure.
This is very tempting. But until 4k resolution gaming is truly dwarfed by new gen gpus i won't be moving on from my 1080ti and 4930k combo. Maybe once the 5090 or 6090 Ti along with the i13 or i14 or whatever is the hottest thing in another 3 yrs or so.
Now this review is what I been waiting for, well in reality was waiting for the Gen 7 when it was the latest one, but this is nice to see, perhaps I can upgrade and give my current PC to my little brother.
@JustinTechTips No worries at all brotha, keep doing what you doing. My #1 guy for reviews when I want to buy something. You keep 100% real and I and everyone else appreciates it. And always touching on the main details
@AKA-corne building your own will definitely be cheaper but I personally like having it ready to go when it gets here and know that everything is covered under warranty as a whole, rather than trying to figure out which component is at fault if the PC is not working properly
@@JustinTechTips that’s true (regarding warranty, but it saves me almost 1,3k to build my own pc) I have a budget of around 4500, and I want top specs for it. Which is not completely possible of i let someone build it for me since it way more expensive.
Hey justin, im in the market for a pre build pc but idk wich where i should start since my issues are a bit unique, mainly cooling and space. My room where i game gets easily up to 40 degree Celsius and my current pc is easily in high 80 playing so low end games because of it As for space my desk has only space for cases that arent longer then 19 inches long My budget is dollar 3000 or less do you have any suggestiond?
Thanks for your review. Just picked the 4080 version up for a fantastic discount on Best Buy Canada. Basically paid around 2,200 USD. Very happy though the RAM issue isn’t resolved with the bios update. Tried upping the speed and the computer wouldn’t post. Ugh. Still a good buy.
My partner like me to get this one, and I said no. I ain’t gonna spend 3000dollars plus for gaming desktop. Because I’m not a pro gamer. I’m eyeing the 5i RTX 4070 but sold out. We ended up buying the Lenovo legion 5 amd with rtx 4070 which I don’t know the difference, since I’ve been gaming on console my whole life lol. Hopefully I didn’t buy a bad pc
would this/the 4080 version still be good to pick up? ive never had a prebuilt before/tower in general and feel like lenovo might be a safe bet, especially with the sales they are doing but i wouldnt be able to pick one up until a couple months from now
I purchased the 4080 version from B&H for $2099 with the 13900KF and 32 gigs 5600 ram. The ram speed has been addressed in the shipped bios and I currently run 64 gigs at 6400 Trident Z5 memory flawlessly. For that price it is a steal and runs everything smoothly and is fast as can be. Absolutely blows my Alienware desktop away!
@Mrrbebk3 same here got mine January 4 2024 from bandh also its been a great pc got 1 day shipping 2 year of lenovo onsite warranty and 1 year of lenovo Care for $2,349.99
HELP!!!😁. I’m ready to pull the trigger on the HP45L with the 4090 graphics card but the system only comes with an 800w power supply. Everything I’ve read, says the minimum requirements for that video card is at least an 850 W power supply. What are your thoughts? I don’t want to upgrade my power supply as soon as I pull it out of the box.
Hey @mikes6301 while yes 850watt is ideal, you can see in my 4k tests that my average FPS across all games for the new 45L was only 7fps lower than the top 4K PC (the i8100) ($1400 more). I don't think you'll notice the tiny performance difference from not having the full 850w. But you will certainly feel the difference in your wallet though.

So I got this pc based on your review (rtx 4080) I upgrade the psu to 1000w and gpu to 4090, upgraded the bios and everything works so much faster, I wanted to buy the 4090 version but it wasnt available, the cable management and part for the lenovo are the best prebuilt I have seen, btw the AIO had an issue, they changed it for me free... tbh lenovo is now my fav pc
Lenovo did a lot better with this one. Great seeing a much beefier build by them here. Thank you for making us aware about the price hike also. Hopefully they bring that back down in a few weeks.
I will be purchasing a 4090 in a week so these videos about SI builds and the reviews help me figure out what to expect when pairing it with other hardware in various builds. Lets me figure out more about what I may need to change out in my own. Always appreciate these down-to-the-point reviews you do and showing what matters. Good stuff man.
@Lamar Doss thanks man! Glad you’re enjoying these and they’re helping you figure out what you want
i have 3080 with i9-10900k idk if get 4090 prebuild as cant build my self or wait for next gpu come out
Got this for $2490 when it was all said and done. Have had it 1 week. THIS THING IS BEYOND Epic. Used my own ram and pulled a 36k overall timespy score. 39.5k gpu, 24k cpu used my own Ram... Use msi afterburner to boost gpu fans they are set at 40% max no matter the Temps. I dropped gpu Temps by 6 c with a simple curve up to 65%. MONSTER MACHINE

Its nice to see they are using a standard form factor motherboard so it can be replaced later if needed.
I'd be interested in a video or segments that focuses on potential upgrades and/or mods for quality of life, overall boosts/performance, and bells/whistles.
One of the best PC reviews I have ever seen! I love your approach of no BS and a fairly fast pace with all of the facts/results. I'm now a new subscriber... thank you. 👍
Just ordered today with the 4090, i9 13900, and 32GB of DDR5 for only $2680 with discount codes. Was less than 2900 after taxes. Couldn't pass it up

@@AdamJames.Still alot for it
I have this exact model. It was awesome for the first three weeks I owned it then one day while playing Cyberpunk it randomly crashed the whole PC to a black screen. After that it wouldn't run any games or any GPU benchmark software without crashing within a couple minutes of playing. It would run CPU benchmark software just fine. I called Lenovo support and was given a replacement which took nearly 2 months to be delivered. I just received it yesterday. So far the replacement seems OK. Great review BTW!
I had the same issue with my system. The problem would only present itself when gaming. The system would just shut down, (NO BSOD) and I would have to unplug and replug to restart the system. I also had an issue with the system not being able to I tried to have the system replaced one day after my 30 days but I spent a considerable amount of time troubleshooting the RAM speed issue and after providing all my data and how to correct this Lenovo credited me for the extra 32GB of RAM I purchased with the system. The credit was the reason Lenovo would not replace the system. Instead, after considerable back and forth and troubleshooting by me Lenovo agreed to send a tech to my home to replace the Mother Board, Power Supply, RTX 4090, and CPU liquid cooler. I think it might have been cheaper to replace the system. The system seems to be working now though I did have two shutdowns that seem to be linked to a Lenovo driver issue per the event log. I updated two items using Intel's driver update checker and everything seems ok now. As for the memory the Z790 motherboard will not run four RAM DIMMs at full speed. You can only use two DIMMs with the Lenovo BIOS update which added RAM boost to get the full 5600 Mhz RAM speed. To get 64GB of RAM you need to use two 32GB DIMMs in slots 2 and 4 with the updated BIOS and boost selected. I am glad to hear your replacement system in working. Unfortunately, due to replacing almost the entire system I will never know what the issue was.
how is it now?
@highlander6573 The replacement is still working perfectly (✊️ on wood).
@@petersonfamily6223 is there a way to run 128GB of ram in this system?
I am not postive if this system will support 128GB of RAM and I would recommend contacting Lenovo directly to confirm. Normally you would install four 32GB DIMMs to get 128GB of RAM. If the system is able to support 128GB of RAM be aware that using all four RAM slots will result in reduced RAM speed due to the restrictions of the Z790 motherboard. @@melodystar5019
Great video as always! This PC often goes on sale. Important to keep an eye on price when buying!!!
Thank you @MikeInKing ! Yeah I was blown away when I started recording the price had jumped so much higher
The problem with the HP 45L is that there is not a single PCIe slot available. The Legion provides both a PCIEx16 for a full size card and a PCIEx1 for small cards. With the Legion I was able to add a 10GB Ethernet adapter instead of being stuck with a 1 GB Ethernet port on the HP 45L computer.
The HP 45L has a brilliant case design which is why it allows the components to run cooler but a mini-ATX motherboard is used that does not fill the case and so could have provided PCIe slots. The big negatives with the Lenovo Legion are no provision for lifting it and no way to turn off the very bright case and logo lights (which can be done with the 45L). In the end I decided to buy neither tower and will wait for new offerings.
GPU heat is a problem with the 4090 that draws 450 Watts as compared to the RTX 4080 at 320 Watts. In terms of price performance the 4090 costs 33% more to gain 15% better performance.
Stellar review, just got the 4070 Ti version of this, good upgrade suggestions. Biggest bank for buck I've seen around.
Hey I'm looking at the 4070ti version for 1700 on discount. How have you liked it? Worth?
Thank you for the useful informations!
And just a reminder that you misspelled Lenovo in your title.
@sueric5273 omg how did I miss that! Thank you! Surprised no one else mentioned that :/
Thank you so much! Just bought this for $2700 USD for the 4090, 32gb, i9-13900KF
Update- I received the Lenovo on Thursday. Setup was a brease, and it is awesome. I ended up increasing the ram to 64GB Corsair Vengence RGB DDR5 5600mhz and added an additional 1TB SSD (Mobo has heat sinks for additional SSDs, and 2 slots are readily available above and below GPU).
Changing the ram speed settings was no issue (have to reboot up in safe mode from settings to access advanced bios)
Total cost before taxes 2940$ which is a hell of a deal for:
4090 GPU
2tb M.2 Gen 4 SSD
I9 13900 CPU with a massive RGB AIO
1200W PSU
Runs quiet and temps are stable.
Playing Cyberpunk Phantom Liberty at an average of 100FPS at 4k on my LG Oled.
This PC does not dissapoint!
How long did it take to arrive from the day of purchase?
@andresescalante770 I did the 3 day shipping and received in 2. Ordered on a Tuesday and got it Thursday
Any update on shipping for you?It’s been 6 days and my order hasn’t shipped. I was told by support that the 4090 model isn’t even in transit to Lenovo’s warehouses and could take upwards of a month. I’m wondering if the temporary ban on exporting 4090s to China is the cause, aside from high order volume of that specific model.
I contacted support and they had an estimate shipping date of October 30th@@seriesxtrailers5989
Keep it up man, Your videos are detailed and I like them. Appreciate the effort.
Got mine for $3100 after tax. For someone who is as lazy as me and have a ton of lenovo stuff (monitors and laptops), it’s not a bad price imo
Agreed, even with it being a first gaming setup purchase, it’s a good start on how to build upon at that price.
Great review. Purchased one for $2700 today.
Just got mines (4080 13700k) today. I should have it all setup by this Friday.
Nice! @YoungTrae96 Congrats! That one is super fast too. I almost ran benchmarks with that configuration as well since I knew that would probably be the most purchased one but I ran out of time
@@JustinTechTips All good, I caught it for $2204 + Warranty, I had pcpartpicker setup for prime day, and the prebuild couldn't be beat. My G Skill 64GB ram comes in tomorrow, then I'll be able to install my last nvme. I am salty that I couldn't catch the 7900 xtx for $800.
Just grabbed one from 2650 on sale with extra 8% from the cash back site. Thanks for the great video!
Nice
Hi Justin. Thanks for another excellent review! You also do what I do when I purchase a new PC. Before I even set up my new PC, I'm upgrading it. A keyboard and mouse for my ALIENWARE R8 would have been an extra cost option. To outdo ALIENWARE, my new CORSAIR i8100 didn't even come with either a keyboard or mouse. As you already know, both PCs cost well over $4,000.
@outlet6989 Nice! You got the BEAST! I really liked that one. How's it treating you so far? Which configuration did you end up going with?
@@JustinTechTips Hi Justin. Thank you for your reply. If we were talking cars, this PC would be a Corvette. Mine came with i9-13900KS, RTX 4090, 4TB (2x2) M.2. and 64GB DDR5-5600. The CORSAIR case contained mainly CORSAIR components, PSU, AIO, Fans, etc. I was surprised that most components were not precisely their top-of-the-line products. For a nearly $5,000 price, I expected their best. No keyboard or mouse was a true letdown, though I already have their best ones. This PC is the best pre-built I have ever owned, but it could have been even better. Your review convinced me to purchase this PC, and I thank you for recommending it. Have a nice day, OUTLET.
Showing what the buyers needs to see the most and sellers maybe don't want.

@@JustinTechTips All the best and most important information. Thank you!
This is the first time OEM mobos have beefy VRM heatsinks.
I wish they all did.. :/
I just bought this today with a coupon for $2460.00 not counting tax. What a deal.
Great and informative review! I had been considering getting the Alienware R15 but based on this review and a 25% sale Justin linked above, I just ordered the 4090 64GB RAM 2TB M2 SSD version for $3,000 which appeared to beat by a very wide margin the price of any other similarly equipped PC at this time. With Rakuten rebate and an additional 1 year warranty, the total cost was $2850 before tax. The system is scheduled to arrive next week. I will need to increase the storage and potentially replace the RAM to address the speed issue mentioned in the review. For the additional storage, the review mentioned there are three available M.2 slots. What requirements for M.2 drives are there, if any, for compatibility with this system? It sounds like the system includes heat sinks, so an added M.2 drive would not need a heat sink? Will any size of M.2 SSD up to 8TB be compatible? For the RAM replacement , can you achieve the 5600 speed with 2 stick of 32GB RAM (for a total of 64GB)? Thanks in advance for anyone who knows the answers to these questions.
Good plan , keep posted
Yes with the bios update and the RAM being placed in only slot 2 and 4 (original way Lenovo inserted ram) it's capable of up to 6600ghz stated by others. I used Corsair donator platinum 6000ghz and worked just fine.
Thanks!@@cheatcodes1228
Three M.2 drive slots, two 2.5" SSD drive slots and two mechanical HDD slots.
I can't even begin to comprehend what max internal storage would be in this.
You should do laptops too. I really like these reviews, I work a lot in different software so it's nice to see how they all line up.
Actually, the radiator is in the CORRECT spot as it SHOULD be in front drawing in air. What they have done wrong is have the pipes on the top of the case, the radiator needs to be turned the other way, as it's going to get clogged with bubbles long term. What a shame.
But while you are acting all surprised about the radiator being in front, did a light bulb go off and you realised the correlation between the much better CPU temps on this vs other pre builds? That's the reason.
This PC (both the 32 and 64 gb models) is 25% off right now on the Lenovo website! Brings it down to 2999 for the 64 gb model and 2829 for the 32 gb model
Yeah Lenovo is the champion I think (I dont know anything about PCs)
Why are these all out of stock now? All I see is 4080s available. Did ever buy up the 4090s or was Lenovo selling them to cheap? I’m curious
Could you get a metal side panel with air vents instead of the glass one and would that farther help with cooling? Or would it not be worth it?
Thanks for this video. Really appreciate the bench marks
Hey there, this exact machine with 2TB and 64GB ram is available for $2820. Does it seem worth it at that price point? The 1TB and 32GB ram is available for $2660, but unsure if either is worth it at this point.
Bought the rtx4070 model that came with 5600 already preset with 2 sticks of 16G. Liking it so far. It was 1420 out the door.
Just picked up this one for $2,176.20 pre-tax with the military discount as well. Can't wait!

Bummed they no longer Cary the 4090. I got my 4090 tower 10 months ago. I case swapped it and I love this pc.
Thanks for the video. The 4090 towers are now back in stock but the config are different tho. It only comes with 32GB and 1TB of storage. This is actually my preferred config for $240 less in price. It's listed at $3,780 but I was able to get it for $3,311 instead. 3 yrs of Ultimate Support warranty was only $64 more so why not. I would say for this price it's worth it.
Before this I was set on building a custom one but honestly I still have my doubts. This Legion 7i Tower Gen 8 looks nice but a custom similar build 4090 FE (which I already secured) would cost me just a little more (around $3,700), less if I went with a 7800X3D for around $3,400. I think I would be more happy at the end as well. I still have time to cancel my order tho but I will decide later this week to do so or not. My item isn't shopping until early next month anyways.
Agreed, getting 64GB of RAM is a waste as you will never be able to run it at the reported 5600 MHz speed as purchased. You can only get the 5600 MHz RAM speed using two DIMMs in slots 2 and 4. After receiving a refund for the extra memory, Rakuten rebate, Military discount I only paid $2800 for the 64GB, 2 TB, RTX 4090 configurationI was not able to build the same system for less. I added the four year full warranty for less than a $100. The price fluctuates quite a bit with discounts you can get the system for less if you keep checking. The Lenovo system was cheaper than any other system I looked at. It is quite, cool, but is not as fast as some of the other systems but it is still fast enough to run everything now. I did have some issue but I believe have been corrected under warranty.
Now it’s 2800
Can the mobo be changed out later if you want to upgrade?
Lenovo makes the most beautiful looking prebuilds out there
I case swapped this 4090 set up 10 months ago to a lian li 011 dynamic evo. I used a rog strix 790-h mobo instead of the lenovo mobo. Unfortunately the rgb on the gpu cant be changed without that lenovo motherboard. Only issue i had. Love the lenovo prebuilt just case swapped it for my own pleasure. I have a short vid showing my set up and the newly swapped case and internals

That's cool. Where do you find those coupons?
This recently went on sale for 25% off and is a really good value right now, and in thinking of picking up the 4080 version. If I plan on playing games in 4K, is it worth the extra $200 or so for an i9, or would an i7 be ok? I'm not really planning on playing any first person shooters where eeking out every fps really matters, but I also don't want to bottleneck myself, at least not too hard.
The 4080 configuration had the 800 or 850 Watt Power Supply where's the 4090 comes with a 1200 Watt PS. That allows for better upgradablity down the road.

Hi Justin, I just subscribed and I’m in the market for a desktop gaming PC and my budget is between $1100 to $1300 and this is my first gaming PC. I’ve had an HP Envy laptop with an internal 620 graphics card so I’m nowhere near as familiar with the various machines. I’ve watched your videos on the Omen 25L, Alienware R16 and now the Legion Tower Ri Gen 8 3060. Out of these what would you say is the best choice based on my inexperience and my budget? My intended time of purchase is to be next week, April 2024.
I currently have the Lenovo idea pad gaming 3 laptop this will be a massive upgrade if I decide to get this
I'm able to buy this PC for $2700 after taxes and everything right now. Could you please explain to me like i'm a 5 year old about the ram issue? What do I need to do after I get it and is this a good price and good deal for this PC? Thank you!
@JAnderson127 It's actually not a huge issue it's just disappointing because it's kindof misleading for XMP (overclocking the RAM) to not work. At best it would still be less than a 5% boost in certain games
Thanks for the video, do you know if this PC can have more then 1 gum slot drive? I have 2 installed in my current PC.
Can you stream with this PC? It’s on sale right now for $2750. Seems like a steal for the 4090 model.
Just got mine with the 4090 set up in my office 😁

I use Photoshop, Blender, and games frequently. It's a pity that the memory speed isn't the best, but I'm curious to know how much of an impact that will have on my workflow.

Just did the same and it basically puts it at the top price to performance ratio! Can't beat this deal right now!
He has the list updated at that price the Legion tower easily wins out in price to performance.
Whats holding back the lenovo on the fps? Heat? Curious if you reconfigure the fans it would make a difference
I think desktop cases and motherboards need to drop all those USB type A ports and just give us the Type C ports. we really need to start the long slow kill of Type A and one way is to stop giving us 10 Type A ports while 2-4 USB Type C ports. My desktop has 2 Type C to like 8 Type A. I only need 2 Type A for my keyboard and mouse.
Looking at my PC I have 8 USB type A cables plugged in and my Type C is unused, so I don't think we're ready for C only yet.
The only two devices that I have connected is my keyboard and mouse dongle. Actually I could just use a USB type C cable to USB type C for my keyboard tbh and use Bluetooth for my mouse if I really wanted to. You have legacy devices? Get a dongle. We need to kill Type A or you're just going to keep it here forever because people are too afraid to look forward.
Mice, keyboard, printers can be or is wireless these days. The only two things you must need to connect to your computer is a screen and the Power cable. And only one if it's a laptop.
Laptops can have zero USB type A and you all have died yet because of the lack of Type A ports so desktops are the same.
Question. Which one would you choose for graphic design and video editing: Corsair Vengeance i7400 i5-13600kf OR Lenovo 5i i7-i3700f. Both are $1699 at bestbuy. Thanks!
@nickelsandgrind just to confirm you are comparing this one bestbuy.7tiv.net/LX2Nr0 vs this one bestbuy.7tiv.net/9gEYQE right? Between those two definitely the Lenovo . It will be quite a bit faster and a much better bang for your buck.
can the 5i legion tower gen 8 be reviewed next
@sggsquadpresents that's on my list of potentials. Definitely will if I get enough requests for it!
Hi, thanks for the perfect info to help with purchasing. I just bought the Legion Tower 7i Gen 8 (i7-13700KF) with RTX 4080. I bought the version with just 512 GB storage and 16 GB ram because of the better discounted price. I will want to upgrade the storage to 1TB and the ram to 32GB but I don't know what storage and ram is compatible with the motherboard. I contacted Lenova but they wouldn't/couldn't tell me so I'm wondering if you know and can tell me and/or provide links for both compatible upgrades in Canada.
I couldn’t change stock ram’s speed from the bios, any tips?
I could, just change ram to manual and set it to 5600mhz and it runs fine. Note if you have 4 sticks of ram you can't get the advertised speed.
@@5549660 thanks bro appreciate the help, actually I got the MHz changed after changing the BIOS to older vision.
And I have dual channels, 2 sticks
@@5549660so it seems they fixed it? I wonder why wouldn’t it be set to 5600 from the factory? Question for you, do you know why using all four ports slows the frequency? Is four still better than using two 16g?
I'm sorry, but I'm new to PC gaming. How do I get to the Legion BIOS? Is it pre-installed or did you have to download it elsewhere?
So can I run 2 x 32Gb rams @5600Mhz, or it's limited to 4 x 16Gb for 64Gb rams in total?
Work discounts I got this beast for $2800😊
Wow what a review! Thank you.
Waited for this video
@Alex Thomas sorry it took so long
@@JustinTechTips no problem sir.
Lenovo pushed another update to the Vantage software. You can now change the lighting on the GPU (although it’s a bit buggy).
@MikeInKing thanks for the update! It's about time they fix that!
Would you recommend still leaving it alone, or changing the lighting?
@@HondaCivicat3AM you can totally change it. The only issue I have noticed is a bit of flickering on startup. There is no impact on the performance of the cars otherwise.
I’m in the market to finally buying my own end game pc but I’m being confused with all those previews and different UA-camrs would anyone suggest the best pc to buy ? Money isn’t an issue just lookin for a pc to play everything on high resolution and enjoy it for few years any suggestions is highly appreciated
I’m having the same issue. I’ve been wanting a pc for like 10 years now and I’m ready to take the plunge…but I can’t figure out what pc would be good and not have any issues…I really like this one in the video, as I was actually looking at the Legion 7i laptops before, but I’m not sure.
No longer available...less than 24 hours after posting the review.
@markkuehl6915 omg.. Well that's annoying. It seems like there are some supply issues with the 4090s right now
Does he do any undervoling or anything else to the pc before these tests. Or is this factory settings for the most part right out the box?
Hi. I just got my Legion. I want to buy a couple 2.5 SSDs for it. Are the sata cables aready included in the case?
This is very tempting. But until 4k resolution gaming is truly dwarfed by new gen gpus i won't be moving on from my 1080ti and 4930k combo.
Maybe once the 5090 or 6090 Ti along with the i13 or i14 or whatever is the hottest thing in another 3 yrs or so.
I love Lenovo legion and this new one looks so nice
@Mrfloppa95 yeah I'm a fan of the design as well. They could have chosen better looking RAM though..
Now this review is what I been waiting for, well in reality was waiting for the Gen 7 when it was the latest one, but this is nice to see, perhaps I can upgrade and give my current PC to my little brother.
@unpredictablelegacy3193 sorry it took so long to get this one out!
@JustinTechTips No worries at all brotha, keep doing what you doing. My #1 guy for reviews when I want to buy something. You keep 100% real and I and everyone else appreciates it. And always touching on the main details
Def grabbing it as it’s on sale for $2800
Would u recommend building my own? Related to upgrade possibilities
@AKA-corne building your own will definitely be cheaper but I personally like having it ready to go when it gets here and know that everything is covered under warranty as a whole, rather than trying to figure out which component is at fault if the PC is not working properly
@@JustinTechTips that’s true (regarding warranty, but it saves me almost 1,3k to build my own pc) I have a budget of around 4500, and I want top specs for it. Which is not completely possible of i let someone build it for me since it way more expensive.
Awesome vid!
Hey man, my friend bought this pc and he's getting 80-150fps @1080p on warzone 3 :D Any protips on the issue?
Hey Justin! Do you keep all these towers or send them back after testing? Cheers
@jojonokimyonabouken7615 oh man I wish! No they all go back after
People worrying about even sustained temps of 80c on a CPU or GPU shortening “life” need to get a grip, those temps are absolutely fine.
Agreed. I never see 80 on my 4090 but I case swapped this pc
Not sure how 65 degrees GPU is something out of the ordinary without water cooing.
Hey justin, im in the market for a pre build pc but idk wich where i should start since my issues are a bit unique, mainly cooling and space.
My room where i game gets easily up to 40 degree Celsius and my current pc is easily in high 80 playing so low end games because of it
As for space my desk has only space for cases that arent longer then 19 inches long
My budget is dollar 3000 or less do you have any suggestiond?
What should be the average temps for an rtx 3060 (I usually play games like RDR2 ,AC ,COD etc mostly single player games)
Prioritizing CPU temps is definitely better tho. GPUs will rarely overheat.
Thanks for your review. Just picked the 4080 version up for a fantastic discount on Best Buy Canada. Basically paid around 2,200 USD. Very happy though the RAM issue isn’t resolved with the bios update. Tried upping the speed and the computer wouldn’t post. Ugh. Still a good buy.
Is it still an issue?
My partner like me to get this one, and I said no. I ain’t gonna spend 3000dollars plus for gaming desktop. Because I’m not a pro gamer. I’m eyeing the 5i RTX 4070 but sold out. We ended up buying the Lenovo legion 5 amd with rtx 4070 which I don’t know the difference, since I’ve been gaming on console my whole life lol. Hopefully I didn’t buy a bad pc
would this/the 4080 version still be good to pick up? ive never had a prebuilt before/tower in general and feel like lenovo might be a safe bet, especially with the sales they are doing but i wouldnt be able to pick one up until a couple months from now
I have the 13700kf/4080 model. Had it for a few months now and it’s a beast of a machine.
I purchased the 4080 version from B&H for $2099 with the 13900KF and 32 gigs 5600 ram. The ram speed has been addressed in the shipped bios and I currently run 64 gigs at 6400 Trident Z5 memory flawlessly. For that price it is a steal and runs everything smoothly and is fast as can be. Absolutely blows my Alienware desktop away!
@Mrrbebk3 same here got mine January 4 2024 from bandh also its been a great pc got 1 day shipping 2 year of lenovo onsite warranty and 1 year of lenovo Care for $2,349.99
HELP!!!😁. I’m ready to pull the trigger on the HP45L with the 4090 graphics card but the system only comes with an 800w power supply. Everything I’ve read, says the minimum requirements for that video card is at least an 850 W power supply. What are your thoughts? I don’t want to upgrade my power supply as soon as I pull it out of the box.
Hey @mikes6301 while yes 850watt is ideal, you can see in my 4k tests that my average FPS across all games for the new 45L was only 7fps lower than the top 4K PC (the i8100) ($1400 more). I don't think you'll notice the tiny performance difference from not having the full 850w. But you will certainly feel the difference in your wallet though.

Any tips on how to remedy the high gpu temps?
i love your video so much just wanna say your the best
@XOexoticXO thank you so much! I really appreciate that!
@@JustinTechTips bro this review was fire you should see my setup i lit have a Chromebook and a horrible monitor the only good thing i have is the razer mini mic and a razer keyboard
@XOexoticXO people like you make creating videos like this so worth it! Thanks man!
@@JustinTechTips bro np to me your the best UA-camr out there just as simple as that and just know i will always be watching your vids love it and keep this great work up 🤗
and i was going to ask you what do you think is the best pc for 1,500
For some reason other versions of this desktop come with no display ports or an hdmi cable, for example the 4070 ti with intel on the lenovo website does not come with any dp's or hdmi ports. Would a usb to dp cable work?
Where to buy link ?
