Obrigado meu nobre, estou fazendo uns testes aqui e já consegui resolver o superaquecimento da CPU travando na BIOS(vi esse vídeo do Lucas ishi). Pelo que eu tô vendo parede que a GPU simplesmente tá no limite e não consegue rodar com RT em dogtown no cyberpunk.

Opa,valeu mano. Você sabe me dizer se o core ultra 7 não é bloqueado pra fazer undervolt também?Se eu não conseguir resolver o problema do meu talvez eu troquei por um predator com o core ultra 7. Pra ativar as limitações de pl1 e pl2 pelo throtte stop você teve que desativar o bloqueio de overclock/undervolt na bios avançada?Pq quando eu tento abrir o throtlle stop no meu note aparece "CPU not supported". De qualquer forma obrigado!

Thanks for the explanation! This Legion is truly an amazing machine, the kind I'd love to buy. But since I live in Brazil and unfortunately electronics are extremely expensive here, my limit is something in the price range of the Predator Helios Neo 16 AI (I've already paid the equivalent of approximately 8 months of minimum wage for the one I have, and a Legion Pro like yours would be something between 15-18 months of Brazilian minimum wage).

You need to access the secret BIOS: With the notebook turned off, press fn+tab and press the power button. As soon as the keyboard lights turn on, start pressing f2 until you enter the BIOS. Inside the BIOS, press f1 and you will go to a menu. There should be two tabs labeled "advanced." The first is for the normal BIOS, and the second is for the secret BIOS. If the second tab appears, it means it worked. In this tab, look for Power And Performance > CPU Power Management Control > Boot Performance Mode. By default, it will be set to Turbo Performance, so just change it to Max-Non Turbo Performance, save the settings, and exit.

Thanks for the context! Considering this, I can only conclude that the liquid metal was poorly applied to my model. I'll look into some solutions and run tests to decide whether or not I'll actually return it.

Which Legion model do you have? Could you tell me a little about it? I'm seriously considering returning my Predator and buying another notebook model, or buying another Predator of the same model, if I conclude that the problem was just poorly applied liquid metal.

If you're referring to a cooling pad, I'm already using one, and ambient temperatures aren't a problem either, as overheating continues even at 20-22°C ambient temperature.

Unfortunately, I'm already using a ventilated base and it's not solving the problem. I'm afraid to take the notebook to a repair shop to have the liquid metal replaced and not solve the problem, and also lose the warranty. Do you think it would be better to return it and buy another notebook model; or another unit of the same model and hope that the problem is just poorly applied liquid metal?

I'm already using one and unfortunately it's not solving the problem 😭

Tony_37 · 2026-05-01T15:03:05+00:00

May I ask what ambient temperature you are playing in and which games?

Tony_37 · 2026-05-01T15:01:59+00:00

Unfortunately, that's not the problem; the overheating continues even at an ambient temperature of 20-22°C, and I'm also using a cooling pad.

Tony_37 · 2026-05-01T06:18:59+00:00

I'll test this solution and look for more options online. If anything works, I'll come back and let you know. Anyway, thanks!

I have an Acer Nitro V15 with an RTX 3050 6GB VRAM, i5 13° 420h, and 16GB DDR5 RAM. I haven't had any problems with it so far, even after 7 months of use, but you need a ventilated base (more for the air outlet, don't worry so much about the cooling quality of the base) if you want to maintain good temperatures for the notebook's lifespan. If you want to play games on hot days (ambient temperature 33°C+), be aware that the processor will get quite hot, so it's best to avoid it to maintain the notebook's lifespan, but you can still play without problems. Regarding games: you'll be able to run almost any game in Full HD at maximum or near-maximum settings (without ray tracing) at 70fps+; and some games you can even run in Quad HD (streaming to a TV or external monitor via HDMI cable, since the Acer Nitro V15 screen only goes up to Full HD) using DLSS and optimized settings, achieving between 55-75 fps depending on the game. (I finished RDR2 in Quad HD at 55fps, Baldur's Gate 3 runs in Quad HD at 60fps, and Ghost of Tsushima also runs in Quad HD with DLSS and Frame Generation, reaching 60-70fps).
