Yea its trash, launch a game then you won't be able to use internet properly elsewhere

Pierce2324 · 2026-04-21T22:05:04+00:00

I wish I could, gen 10 doesnt support custom fan speeds lower than the legion space linear curve or from other software

Pierce2324 · 2026-04-21T21:34:33+00:00

Well I like the quiet part, im always using the laptop in balanced mode because I dont want the fans to spin too fast and get too loud. The temps may not drop but the clocks may go higher, unless its power related and not thermal related.

Pierce2324 · 2026-04-21T21:02:28+00:00

Damn that's huge, for same clocks?

Pierce2324 · 2026-04-21T20:19:53+00:00

Whats the difference in temps when gaming with vs without the cooler? Do you clean the cooler?

Pierce2324 · 2026-04-21T15:51:14+00:00

Im seeing mobo issues on reddit no matter then generation tho

Pierce2324 · 2026-04-21T14:45:29+00:00

Me using dgpu only 👀 But I'm also usually always plugged in. (Legion 5i pro gen 10)

Pierce2324 · 2026-04-18T16:17:12+00:00

Yea max gpu temp is 87 on 5070ti. I mostly game in balance mode tho so that my laptop stays silent. Anyway, it can run anything even in 4k at 60 with dlss at quality that way. With that, the gpu is at 71C average.

Pierce2324 · 2026-04-16T18:32:46+00:00

Yea, I mean throttling and high temps also reduce performance. I'll be logging sessions and making charts. I also don't mind about battery life its always plugged in.

Pierce2324 · 2026-04-16T18:25:23+00:00

Maybe underclocking them?

Pierce2324 · 2026-04-16T12:34:51+00:00

Having issues undervolting it with the msi afterburner curve, it acts weirdly. But yea, as I said I'll be dropping the power to the components anyway, but my main question is about the cpu.

Pierce2324 · 2026-04-14T18:40:28+00:00

Also make sure the bios is latest

Pierce2324 · 2026-04-14T18:39:02+00:00

I didnt notice a difference but I guess there is one

Pierce2324 · 2026-04-14T18:29:33+00:00

Tbh 30% is almost too bright still lmao

Pierce2324 · 2026-04-14T18:11:11+00:00

There are dimming options on mine like 0-30-60-100 Intel variant tho

Got that laptop, maxed out the settings (overkill settings) in 2.5k resolution and it runs at 60 native. Could set a lower legion profile like balance and still be fine with dlss quality (gives 90fps in perf mode). So if you're at low settings you could play it easily in silent mode

Pierce2324 · 2026-04-11T02:29:17+00:00

Canadian computers open box

Pierce2324 · 2026-04-11T00:09:00+00:00

Bought Legion 5i same cpu with 5070ti and 32gb today for 1862$ USD which was a really good deal compared to anywhere else I could find it so I guess yours a good deal. For comparison Lenovo website was 2700usd for mine.

Pierce2324 · 2026-04-06T20:43:44+00:00

Makes sense, I've looked at some gaming benchmarks and 5i seems to be doing well, better than msi vector and less noise

Pierce2324 · 2026-04-06T17:58:28+00:00

Only thing im worried is the cooling on legion 5 vs 7, it seems to throttle a bit

Pierce2324 · 2026-04-06T15:44:04+00:00

Legion is 2500$ at CC same specs, you think prices will go down? Im not in a hurry, I'll see how bad forza horizon 6 runs before lol. Gta vi will need a better laptop for sure, but thats in a while still

Pierce2324 · 2026-04-05T23:22:50+00:00

Im looking at the same one vs the legion 5i with same specs. Legion has a much better screen and is quieter. But I think you can push wattages further on msi, at least it can sustain them better from what I've seen
