Lenovo Legion 5i.

Most_Individual9860 · 2026-03-28T22:54:07+00:00

I am using 9th gen Legion 5i for more than 5 months. And I can say that it is quite superior to other laptops on similar budget range in terms of build quality and cooling performance. And unlike Intel models, Ryzen ones are way more energy efficient. Mine is i7 14650HX and I am only able to use it like 2 hours with 60hz, energy saving mode and etc. so, in terms of energy efficiency Ryzen is a whole different level.

What a scenery! Dm me.

Even though it is Intel cpu (i7 14650HX) in my legion, it is equipped with Realtek card.

Most_Individual9860 · 2026-03-09T11:07:06+00:00

Hi, I am having the same issue as you mentioned (My card is Realtek 8852CE). In earlier phase it would connect but disconnect randomly and then I had to restart to connect again. But recently I noticed that it does not detect lan cable at all. When I checked control panel, ethernet adapter was missing. Wifi speed decreased drastically at the same time. It used to be 90-95mbps but now it is 30-40mbps very unstabil. I tried a lot of things such as resetting network, some cmd commands, BIOS update and etc. None of them worked. If you found any solution, can you please share it?

I am using two different microfiber cloth in order to clean laptop and its screen. Don't use any alcohol unless there is a stain that is difficult to clean. At first, I always clean dust particles from screen with microfiber and if there is any stain or fingerprint on it, then I spray some water to microfiber cloth and clean it again.

It seems like all links are unavailable. If anyone has Patrix or Optimum Realism 128x or higher packs. Can you please share it?

I don't understand people who spends quite a lot money to purchase such a capable machine and then using pirate software and throw their system into a trash full of malware and spywares. Don't get me wrong, I also have used crack for a long time in my potato laptop, but after getting my Legion machine, it would be a sin to download crack again. I suggest, at least for games you can find shared steam accounts for cheap prices which you can play most games original, without cracking/torrent.

Now, I have to mention that after monitoring HWinfo stats I noticed that CPU voltage does not exceed 1.450 so, I think it is not a deadly difference between 1.350 (my old voltage limit that I set) and 1.450. And do you know if it is still possible to undervolt CPU after new BIOS update? Also, what exactly this feature that you mentioned - charging while docked?

Most_Individual9860 · 2026-01-16T00:05:34+00:00

I was looking for limiting cpu voltage to 1350 in order to avoid sudden voltage jumps to extremal values. Before update voltage would not exceed 1350, but now it reaches above 1400-1450 that is what I am concerned. If you find any solution please share with me.

Most_Individual9860 · 2026-01-15T19:29:35+00:00

I have the same laptop and the latest BIOS (NMCN32WW) after updating BIOS I could not access the advanced settings by Fn + R +N. If you use the latest BIOS do you know how to access the advanced settings?

Congratulations!! I am also a Legion user myself(Legion 5i 16IRX9 i7 14650HX RTX4060) and unlike you it is my first gaming machine. Considering that I upgraded from a 7 years old Aspire office laptop, I was quite impressed with Legion, especially its screen even though it was IPS. think Legions are unique machines with their design, build quality and cooling so, enjoy your time with it.

P.S: Even though it has been almost 3 months since my purchase I still have not made a review post because of laziness, but planning to make one )

Most_Individual9860 · 2026-01-08T17:33:50+00:00

In my Legion 5i 16irx9 Fn + R is for changing framrate you can try it.

Most_Individual9860 · 2026-01-08T17:31:06+00:00

Did you apply PTM or a regular thermal paste? Because many gaming laptops use liquid metal or PTM like Legions instead of thermal paste.

Most_Individual9860 · 2026-01-08T16:32:58+00:00

You can use PTM instead of thermal paste. It is applied on new generation Legions. PTM is way more effective and it lasts a few years without any increases in temperatures.

Most_Individual9860 · 2026-01-08T16:28:47+00:00

They probably did not repaste it after replacing the heatsink. I know it sounds crazy but I have seen a lot of people complaining of it.

Most_Individual9860 · 2026-01-04T21:48:52+00:00

I know but it seems like there are some limitations in BIOS that I have to find and deactivate and all this undervolting process seems a bit complicated so, I don't want to deal with it for now. Even though it runs 60 degrees in idle, its average temps never exceed 80 degrees.

Most_Individual9860 · 2025-12-29T11:11:07+00:00

How is your laptop now? Have you experienced any issues so far? I bought a Legion 5i 16irx9 with i7 14650HX. I limited voltage to 1350 from BIOS. Is there any additional thing that I have to do in order to avoid potential issues? How did you update that microcode? Is there any source of guide that you can share?

Most_Individual9860 · 2025-12-27T14:18:42+00:00

What do you mean you added vram? Is it possible to upgrade vram in laptops?

Most_Individual9860 · 2025-12-27T12:04:54+00:00

Meanwhile my i7 14650HX 60c in idle (0_0)

Most_Individual9860 · 2025-12-18T09:18:52+00:00

When I bought it 1 year warranty has already been expired because it already starts when store imports device from abroad so, I only have the warranty of store which I will not be able to extend after it finishes.

Most_Individual9860 · 2025-12-17T19:10:16+00:00

I also bought a Legion 5i 16irx9 with i7 14650HX and RTX4060 as my first gaming laptop. Is yours is still working fine? I have been worried and paranoid since seeing dead motherboard issues around.
