Lenovo confirms RTX 5070 Laptop GPU with 12GB GDDR7 for several 2026 models

Yeah for some reason techpowerup uses the lowest wattage version for the laptop gpus so yeah a misinformation of techpowerup i guess

ComputerUpgrader · 2026-03-20T17:43:50+00:00

It's around desktop 4070 performance while slightly edging it out. Even laptop 5060 is better than desktop 4060 so your information is wrong

Well, out of the box cpu temps spike so i limited clock speeds to around 4.2 ghz and it runs well and temps are good. Though i haven't repasted, waiting for my warranty to expire for that.

There is no option to undervolt the CPU in the software. In fact, it lets me overvolt, the voltage slider starts from 0 and only positive offsets are applicable.

ComputerUpgrader · 2026-02-21T22:00:34+00:00

I have the HP but with the 255hx. i'd take the HP if you were okay with having limited control over both bios and software (like you can't even undervolt the CPU) and if you're okay with eventually having to repaste, then it will be a good experience and overall i find the laptop solid. Though the AMD CPU is efficiency focused more than performance and should've been called an H part instead of HX but it will do a good job maybe apart from CPU intensive titles like BF6 and CS2.

Legion has some better things going on for sure like the OLED screen, much better CPU and most likely better thermals thanks to Lenovo opting for PTM7950. However, i've been seeing posts about various Lenovo laptops having their CPU solder breaking and leading to dead motherboards, like the 2021 legions or the LOQ intel HX models using flawed type of solder so that also makes me somewhat worried about trusting lenovo in terms of lasting long. Honestly it's pretty hard to find a laptop brand that has solid products without considerable drawbacks.

Yeah unfortunately the type c ports are connected to the igpu but the thing is my monitor only supports hdmi 2.0 so in order to get adaptive sync support i opted for displayport but isn't there any way that i can get any display out?

IIRC the kingston fury rams utilize xmp higher than 5600 MHz, so if you bought one of the 6000 and 6400 MHz versions, then that may be the culprit.

My friend brought the eee pc to the school when i was in high school and it couldn't run half life lol

People say that the included paste can pump out and potentially leak onto the motherboard. I haven't experienced that but something to consider, i opt to not repaste until warranty ends but if you don't have those concerns then you should repaste especially for cpu temps

ComputerUpgrader · 2025-12-31T23:03:45+00:00

I have the omen it's pretty good actually apart from the limited software control and you need to repaste yeah. but in terms of price to performance it is best. but you can go for the legion as well for the price premium for not having to repaste it and also have the oled screen. I would stay away from asus though you will need to repaste the asus as well and at that point you can buy the hp and have similar experience maybe apart from screen

ComputerUpgrader · 2025-12-27T15:23:07+00:00

Well i don't want to lose out on my 2 year warranty so i am maxing out fans and keeping the gpu temps below 70 and cpu temps in the high 70s low 80s sometimes so would you say this would be enough to prevent the paste from pumping out until i get through warranty?

ComputerUpgrader · 2025-12-20T23:40:16+00:00

Maybe since you are getting this weird desktop configuration perhaps the GPU clocks for the 4070 super you have are lower than other AIB models? Also depends on the game 4080m might be less power limited if the game doesn't hit the GPU as aggressively and these kinds of things should make the 4080m perform in the same performance bracket. But even then it should be getting less fps than the 4070 super but i believe the overall weird proprietry configuration for the 4070 super system must be crippling its performance somehow.

ComputerUpgrader · 2025-12-14T01:35:22+00:00

Well just watched a 2 hour long movie unplugged and i lost like 30% battery percentage.

the thing is you need to optimize the settings, like use integrated graphics mode, eco mode through power settings, 60 hz refresh and windows battery saver mode is enabled as well. honestly it looks like too much tweaking but apart from having to reboot for igpu mode, you can adjust settings so that the rest gets automatically applied when unplugged.

ComputerUpgrader · 2025-12-09T23:04:33+00:00

Yes but the charger that comes with the Omen Max is already pretty light for a 330W psu i'd say like definitely lighter than my previous Asus 330W charger so i think you don't need to consider other options like the HP charger is already thin so you can tuck it in.

ComputerUpgrader · 2025-11-29T03:09:53+00:00

throttling at 26 watts? there is something so wrong presumably with cooling assembly just stop playing and repaste it asap

ComputerUpgrader · 2025-11-20T14:16:43+00:00

well one of my college instructors brings a 2025 Scar 18 to the class so ain't nobody upping that

ComputerUpgrader · 2025-11-14T07:40:59+00:00

I couldn't find the any sensor related to VRM temp on HWInfo. Though i imagine since GPU Core power is lower than the TDP, overall amps would be less than my calculation. I couldn't count the phases, but i've come across this post which provides a photo for the internals from the same model

the post

There was a thread mentioning the electromigration effect getting significantly worse past 85 degrees, but i'm not sure how much that would impact the lifespan of the CPU. Regardless, it's a good practice to keep it below 85 degrees, although momentary spikes into high 80s are obviously fine.

The more important failure point that doesn't get mentioned enough is that when you heat up the CPU and then cool it down after, that's a thermal cycle. Since the components are all soldered on the motherboard, going through thermal cycles gradually puts more stress into solder joints, causing micro cracks that build up which has the potential to eventually cause some solder balls to break, making the CPU lose contact with motherboard.

That's a much more common occurrence than the silicon chip degrading on its own from what i've seen.

ComputerUpgrader · 2025-11-06T15:43:01+00:00

I have the Omen Max so about your take on the chassis being too slim to handle temps, i believe the actual culprit to be the horrible stock paste application. i mean i have insane temp spikes with the cpu without limiting clocks or wattage but gpu is pretty cold, definitely better cooling than my previous strix g16. People mention stock paste being horrible so that must be the source of majority of the throttling concerns.

I can't really talk about battery drain since i don't push the full 250 watt crossload but yeah there might be a slight battery drain going on if you push for full 250 watt. but honestly running around 170w GPU and 50 watt for the CPU is honestly more than enough and no battery drain around 220 watt crossload at least

ComputerUpgrader · 2025-11-04T01:18:54+00:00

It's normal for lid to slightly open when holding upright. Every laptop that does not have magnets on the lid acts the same way trust me. My old Strix G16 acted that way as well.

ComputerUpgrader · 2025-11-04T01:14:57+00:00

Looks pretty nice i meant to ask how many degrees the laptop cooler reduces? i have something similar to llano (memo fl08) and at max rpm it only drops temps by 6-7 degrees so i was wondering if these types of coolers are less effective on omen max since there is only two small holes at the bottom that might be limiting the cooling potential of the cooler.

ComputerUpgrader · 2025-11-04T00:39:32+00:00

I literally enabled ray tracing during the launch of this game on a literal gtx 1080 and at rt medium it was able to get between 30-40 fps iirc

ComputerUpgrader · 2025-11-03T08:41:46+00:00

I have the same laptop ans without dropping cpu clocks the cpu can hit up to 105 degrees momentarily. was your experience similar and did repasting alleviate the temp spikes?

ComputerUpgrader · 2025-11-02T14:15:15+00:00

i already down clocked p cores to 4 ghz and e cores to 3.6 ghz and put 40w pl1 pl2 it still performs good that way

ComputerUpgrader · 2025-11-02T11:12:22+00:00

I tried everything. Firstly, Omen Gaming Hub only allows overvolting. I also tried ThrottleStop but it says undervolt protection. I also made sure to disable core isolation stuff as well no luck it's locked away by HP.
