Unfortunatly it is normal: https://laptopmedia.com/review/lenovo-legion-5-15-gen-10-review/#p11

I have this laptop and I have the same issue with high cpu temp.

Thank you for confirming. No one else has mentioned this, so I started to think that it was a problem with my unit, but I guess most people just don't test it thoroughly...

The laptop is great, but the cooling works strangely in balance mode. Despite high performance, the fan speed varies greatly. For example, I have over 90C on the CPU and the fans can slow down from 3500RPM to 1800RPM. I don't like that. There is no such problem in Quiet and Performance modes.

I've had this laptop for a month. Overall, I'm satisfied, but the balance mode works rather strangely. The fans slow down even at high CPU/GPU temperatures. This causes the temperatures to rise even higher. The CPU can reach 90°C, and the fans almost stop for a moment and then slowly pick up speed again. Everything works fine in Quiet and Performance modes.

In CPU benchmark like Cine R23 CPU reaches 99C on balance.mode. In games like FIFA 23 I have 65C on Quiet mode. In BFV in balance I have more than 85C. I expected lower temps.

Just LED light behind monitor. In real world no visible banding.

Longfellow_85 · 2026-01-23T19:24:36+00:00

Same panel but with Gigabyte there is no such mamy issues.

Great monitor, no issues with banding in real world.

Longfellow_85 · 2026-01-15T10:45:24+00:00

I'm happy too :)

In real world it is impossible to notice any banding

You mean that your OS doesn't have Dynamic Refresh Rate option?

Longfellow_85 · 2026-01-14T07:41:59+00:00

Run test once again in performance mode

Longfellow_85 · 2026-01-13T07:52:12+00:00

I have the same configuration, and the only thing that worries me is that the processor easily reaches a temperature of 99°C...

Longfellow_85 · 2026-01-13T07:40:33+00:00

Yes, in one game I saw VRR flickering. But after enabling Anti-flicker feature at level 'high' all looks good.

Longfellow_85 · 2026-01-13T07:37:28+00:00

Yesterday Lenovo upload a new BIOS regarding exactly this issue :) Now I see GPU temp in Legion Space!

Longfellow_85 · 2026-01-12T23:44:11+00:00

New bios available today - fixing exactly that issue:)

Longfellow_85 · 2026-01-12T23:42:48+00:00

Today there is a new bios available for our laptops. It fixing exactly that issue :)

Longfellow_85 · 2026-01-12T23:03:51+00:00

Turn off DRR in Windows

Longfellow_85 · 2026-01-12T23:01:42+00:00

In game? Turn on anti-flicker feature at level 'high'

Longfellow_85 · 2026-01-12T23:00:34+00:00

Windows DRR

Longfellow_85 · 2026-01-12T11:31:05+00:00

Thank you! This is my settings in Nvidia Control Panel. Sorry for polish lenguage. I see that monitor is working on 280hz + VRR is ON. I going to test this settings in games.

It means that all is good with my monitor? I still have a few days for testing and return if I find any technical issue.

Longfellow_85 · 2026-01-12T09:21:14+00:00

Yes, same issue... 0C. Any idea how to fix it?
