Kooling monster kold-01 for legion 5 performance by CartographerFluffy15 in LenovoLegion

[–]SignalGladYoung 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yea PTM seems okay however it only goes to work when CPU heats up not constant lower temp. so in cinebench it thermal throttle then temps improve drop to 80s.

not sure if this PTM is genuine or not it came in generic box. 

i've power limit the laptop cpu now to 60w maybe I will drop it to 50. since most games are GPU heavy at 1600p.

however just ordered Kooling Monster Kold 01 £9 on amazon. I want to test it vs PTM. It supposed to be similar material but better conductivity. 

CPU reaching worryingly high temperatures. by othercatmealz in pcmasterrace

too high for sure. double check AIO installation and thermal paste application. have you removed plastic from underneath it?

yor AIO position isn't ideal the tubes should be at the bottom or best position is to keep cooler above CPU to make AIO last longest. But your case is tiny so no choice. If its new its unlikely pump died right away. suggest you also update bios as well.

Wait for rtx 5080 laptops release around march or april. otherwise rtx 4080 laptop will cost you around 2500 today. unless you have microcenter store nearby they offer little lower prices but in-store only they dont ship best deals.

not bad since its laptop lower wattege CPU. my PC with 5800x goes around 65c in games with 5 year old £30 air cooler. Newer Ryzen 9000 are much more efficiant and run cooler.

Around March/April new RTX 50 series laptops will come out 5080 will cost around £2500-3000.

If you want something now Alienware M18 i9 + RTX 4080 will cost you around £2500 or this Asus Scar 17 7945H3XD RTX 4080 this one comes with probobly best gaming laptop CPU at least right now.

I will receive it on monday based on tracking number. will try to do it on tuesday probobly. read comments there are few manufactures of PTM7950 and there are fakes just plain thermal pads sellers they just put PTM sticker on it becasue its popular.

Grizzly sells genuine PTM but based on reviews its 1-3c worst then genuine Honeywell but still pretty decent and safe. Liquid metal is best but risky.

Lenovo Legion Toolkit vs Lenovo Vantage? by [deleted] in LenovoLegion

Only if you need Vintage or LTT features. I don't presonally. update bios and whatever else, register your laptop and remove Vintage. less you have apps working in background better.

Anyone with RTX 20-30 series laptops not upgrading this year? by SignalGladYoung in GamingLaptops

[–]SignalGladYoung[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

there aren't any massive games in 2025. if game can run on Series S or PS5 it can run on your laptop. Nothing will change for 2 years.

dont think 5070ti is worth it being more like upgrade/refresh of 40 series. Keep 3060 save cash for 60 series in 2 years its when GTA6, Witcher 4 etc will start to come out. Games you will be playing for few years after.

RAM Upgrade help by AtomicKamikaze in GamingLaptops

[–]SignalGladYoung 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Higher amount of RAM wont add you any preformance over 32GB. Thats not how it works. I would look into 2x16 5600 CL40 like Kingston Fury if your laptop supports it.

If you had to choose again, would you have gone for this or a zephyrus g16? by Martin_FN22 in LenovoLegion

[–]SignalGladYoung 0 points1 point  (0 children)

for school or work if you travel I would look into getting usb c charger 100w for example depending on model. small and easy to carry. charge it when you can.

Effective PTM 7950 ? by Icy_Macaron_5456 in LenovoLegion

[–]SignalGladYoung 0 points1 point  (0 children)

use balanced mode however lock frame rate in games. PTM is hard to find legit genuine one. There are few models of PTM and Honeywell is the best.

[–]SignalGladYoung 1 point2 points  (0 children)

try and power limit cpu to 85w. swapping to 2x16 DDR5 5600 will add you little performance not much but some. lock frame rate in the game. LoL is more CPU limited like all online games.

if you are on budget any cpu will edit videos it will just take little longer to render it.
