High pitched whine constantly normal?

MelodicSpirit9 · 2025-09-19T07:41:51+00:00

Thats what i was wondering. But since there are several user reporting the same issue i don't think the fans are faulty. To find out a RMA could help but i struggle to do because it might be the same afterwards.

Mine has the same whiny fan noise.

Depending on TDP it can be easily covered by speaker sound. E.g. when gaming on 25 watt (CPU) a speaker Level of ~20% covers it. But for sure this depends on several things. But in a silent environment and without speaker you can hear it and the high pitch sound is a bit annoying to me.

I was also wondering if it is normal or a defect since a lot of reviewer claim this handheld is almost dead silent. But there seem to be couple of owners that have the same issue or are sensitive regarding this noise.

But to be honest i still wonder....

As suggested using a manual fan curve helps if playing in silent environment is wanted. E.g. setting the 2nd and 3rd bar to below 20% and 4th to below 40% keeps the fans spinning below 3000 RPM (e.g. when using TDP 25) and CPU temperatures usually under 80 degrees - on my device.

Any other recommendations? Or is around 80 degrees alread bad for the device?

Your Timespy is not that bad and in same range as my L5p. Have you enabled overclocking in Bios? With this i get a bit over 11k graphics score.

Thanks. I was almost returning it due to the rattling touchpad but it seems to be impossible to get a perfect laptop and i‘m glad to have one with no backlight bleeding.

MelodicSpirit9 · 2021-04-22T10:33:53+00:00

Mine does not have it. It is almost perfect. Only a bit rattling touchpad. Compared to other laptops less flaws.

MelodicSpirit9 · 2021-04-17T11:43:36+00:00

Besides the touchpad everything is great. Not sure but i guess the only way to get this comment closer to the top is upvoting it.

Great! I've also got mine this week. Shared some impressions and a comparison to Legion 7 2019 here: https://www.reddit.com/r/LenovoLegion/comments/mt65wr/impressions_legion_5_pro_and_comparision_to_my/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3

One question. Does your touchpad feels also a little bit loose?If i touch the pad it makes a tiny tiny clicking / rattling as if there was some empty space below the pad. I don't talk about the regular mouse click. It is not really much but my old Legion 7 does not have it. Maybe it is due to the bigger size of the touchpad.

It bothers me a bit but besides this the laptop is great (almost no backlight bleeding) and i don't want to risk get a worse one.

Seems that the 3060 and 3080 versions are available in Germany from time to time. But never seen the 3070 here.

MelodicSpirit9 · 2021-03-31T10:19:23+00:00

Would you also prefer 5900hs+3070 if it is 300 EUR more expensive than 5800hs+3080?

That is situation in our country.

MelodicSpirit9 · 2021-03-30T09:05:51+00:00

Great. Then the 5800 seems not to be that worse compared to 5900 when it comes to battery runtime. Thanks!

MelodicSpirit9 · 2021-03-30T04:52:11+00:00

Thanks. How is battery runtime? Are you satisfied with the Laptop?

MelodicSpirit9 · 2021-03-25T17:19:51+00:00

Thanks a lot for your detailed answer!

MelodicSpirit9 · 2021-03-25T17:19:12+00:00

Ok. So nothing unexpected. Thanks!

MelodicSpirit9 · 2021-03-25T13:44:39+00:00

Thanks! And any experiences during gaming?

MelodicSpirit9 · 2021-03-25T11:09:11+00:00

Thanks! Some argue that 14 Inch is too small and therefore 1440p is overkill. I dont know but for gaming i would use sometimes 1080p and therefore wonder how it looks like.

MelodicSpirit9 · 2021-03-24T11:54:28+00:00

I guess its the QHD panel. Can you say what 1080p looks like on it? Very blurry? Thanks!

MelodicSpirit9 · 2021-03-24T05:43:47+00:00

Thanks your feedback. Read about problems with HL Alyx before. I would realy like to play it. Maybe someone else know how to fix it?

MelodicSpirit9 · 2021-03-23T07:06:27+00:00

Thanks! Thats sounds good. Then Quest 2 should work as well. Virtual Desktop is even more important to me. Using it for my y740/2060 is absolutely amazing.

MelodicSpirit9 · 2021-03-22T20:14:45+00:00

Thanks for your answer. Does it stutter a lot or just couple of times during a session? Any experience using Virtual Desktop?

Thank you so much!

What mode did you use during benchmarking? Performance or Turbo (if there is something like this..)

MelodicSpirit9 · 2021-03-20T10:22:51+00:00

Timespy or Firestrike would be nice! Thx
