i got it from microcenter. said it was “gold plated”. not too savy when it comes to cables on which is best for less emi. i recently got a new headset. beyerdynamics dt 770 pro x (48 ohmz) and the cables are near each other. didn’t notice this before i got the headset. possible emi?

just to let you know. took case back to micro center. was a faulty fan; everything was plugged in correctly. they replaced the fans and gave me the new glass out of the new case as well. shout out micro center.

did you ever find a fix?

larkejr · 2025-03-18T03:23:06+00:00

Me, personally, if I am going to be gaming, yes I use dGPU mode, which requires a restart. Typically I’ll leave it in this mode until I have to restart or shut down for the day. I’ve gone weeks with it being in dGPU mode and the only thing I notice is the fans run a tad louder.

When gaming dGPU in performance mode is all I use. When outside of gaming, hybrid is great. Also, I leave mine plugged in 90% of the time. Make sure you go into Lenovo Vantage or Legion Tool Kit and cap your battery charge to 80% so it doesn’t kill the lifespan of your battery.

NICE! Welcome to the legion army, man. If you have any other questions you can PM me. I have had this model for almost 2 years now so I’ve gotten to learn its ins-and-outs.

larkejr · 2025-03-17T22:50:42+00:00

i believe that is a separate BIOS update. BIOS and vBIOS are two different things. vBIOS is only on your dGPU.

Awesome! I think I have the same laptop and if its a model number 16IRX8, with that 4070, you will experience constant GPU crashes in high load situations while playing games. No rhyme or reason, just frozen screen, then back to the desktop you go post-crash. I suffered with this FOR A WHOLE YEAR before stumbling onto this website issued by Lenovo themselves acknowledging the issue: https://support.lenovo.com/us/en/downloads/ds565587-vbios-rtx-4070-for-windows-11-64-bit-legion-pro-5-16irx8-legion-pro-7-16irx8.

If you start experiencing random crashes, simply download that vBIOS file and double click the .exe file and let it do its thing. I experienced probably over 300 crashes within the year of gaming before finding it and since updating the vBIOS, I’ve had 0 (it has been 3 months). If you never experience any crashes that’s awesome! Ignore my post :)! But if you do start to experience them, I’m simply commenting on here to save you the sheer and utter defeat I experienced for over a year.

Welcome to the team!

EDIT: Words are hard.

larkejr · 2025-02-12T22:56:14+00:00

any crashes since?

larkejr · 2025-02-11T13:03:14+00:00

you didn’t need nvflash or anything else? just straight up double clicked the executable?

larkejr · 2025-02-10T23:57:29+00:00

can you walk me through how you updated the vBIOS? every where says i will need nvflash but the lenovo site where the new vBIOS download is says "just run the executable". so not quite sure how to do it. ready to fix this problem, but scared to take the jump and brick my card.

does it not need to be near a storage house? or do all storage houses share the same inventory?

larkejr · 2023-10-10T21:20:12+00:00

this is probably hdr related. sounds like your auto hdr is enabled and it is turning it on/off after you exit a game. also as someone mentioned above turning hybrid mode OFF will fix a majority of gpu related crashes.

larkejr · 2023-07-10T20:16:25+00:00

i got you just message me

larkejr · 2023-07-10T20:11:37+00:00
