How to Optimize Lenovo Legion Gaming Laptops 2022 & 2021 for Gaming

[@sreenaths6829]

I am planning on getting either this machine (with RTX3060) or Asus ROG Strix G15 Advantage edition. I am mostly gonna be using it for gaming and browsing. I am also not using an external display. Does RX6800M perform better than RTX3060+MUX? Which one would you recommend?

[@iamnarayan97]

@@sreenaths6829 advantage edition is better in terms of raw performance.. but it also runs way hotter.. legion laptops are usually cool.. and nvidia has cool tricks like dlss and raytracing

Removing Mcafee is one of the most important things to do. That thing hogs so much CPU for no reason! Even when your laptop is idle, it will still hog up resources for no reason!

[@Blackstar-ti4py]

Certainly for a reason, but certainly not for protection and safety 😂

Yeah I went from inconsistent maybe 150fps to 360 hold….

I recently got Lenovo Legion 5 (5800H+3060) i play only one game and it`s rather old (Guild Wars 2) and do some work in Photoshop so far im impressed by performance and temps (50c gpu, 60-65 cpu in gw2) i play on external monitor. I took your advice and opted for last years model (got it on discount for 1k euro). Love the videos you make keep up the good work!

Undervolting GPU and CPU will also help by decreasing temps.

[@Saul-mv7dm]

How do I do it?

[@praystation4373]

​@@Saul-mv7dm ThrottleStop for CPU, MSI Afterburner for GPU. Also I changed thermal paste on my laptop (it was in a very bad condition for some reason) to thermal pads (Honeywell PTM7950) and temps decreased greatly even without undervolting. Now I have around 80-82 CPU, 75-80 GPU on heavy load without undervolt. So if undervolting will not help you, you can try to apply thermal pads for CPU and GPU. But I don't guarantee that this will help you 100%. In my case it worked well. p.s. Afterburner didn't helped me much to decrease temps, so i tried another util named Asus GPU Tweak. I just set temp limits to GPU to min (75degree), but it should be done everytime you turn on laptop. This util does it job very well, temps on GPU never jump above limits.

[@sontungtrinh710]

@@praystation4373 if you dont mind, would you like to share with me the throttlestop setting you have on your rig?

[@praystation4373]

@@sontungtrinh710 Tbh throttlestop didn't help much for me. On my laptop i was able to get it to work properly without bsoding with offset voltage set on -70v for cpu core and cpu cache in FIVR settings. But as i said it didn't lowered temps much, maybe -1 or -2 degree. In my case the only thing that helped lower the temperature and decrease fan noise was changing default thermal paste to thermal pads.

I plan to start with an AMD update using adrenaline, and an Nvidia update thru their site, and whatever is left thru the vantage? Thank, great clip!

[@WIProgress]

Vantage doesn't get all drivers, I reccomend going to their site and manually installing drivers. My keyboard rgb wasn't working until I got the driver on the site even though I checked Vantage. Also fortnite stutters with hardware accelerated gpu scheduling and so do some other games that get high fps.

If you want to increase the lifespan of your laptop use normal

[@aarontharris]

@Im_ActionZ undervolting will do much more to increase the lifespan.

[@LeBoogieman]

Jesus Crist another genius. Dont over clock your computer! its never worth it unless you want to get your cpu or gpu cooked to having to change them in 2 years or unless you need something done once and quick. Better look into underclocking\ undervolting, and no, it will also increase your fps while reducing heat while you play, look into it. Legion already does it to an extent with the quiet mode. Check for yourself, during gaming you wont lose fps in quiet mode, while gpu wont generate as much heat as it does in other modes. Overclocking will give you +5-10 fps, yes... just as it will reduce your PU's life span from 10+ years to 3.

I have a Lenovo Legion 5 Pro Ryzen 7. When it is plugged to a charger it works fine, but when I unplug it, the performence slows down dramatically. How can I fix that?

[@someyetiwithinternetaccess1253]

Wthout a charge your laptop draws power from its battery and runs on less power than when charging to conserve battery life and less power = less performance Not a complete fix but you could manually select performance mode since the pc may automatically turn it off when not charging, it drains the battery tho

[@szablitho3439]

No need external monitor. Power use by cpu and gpu is the same unless you use smaller resolution or smaller resfresh rate. I guess you cant change resfresh rate on this monitor but on external for sure you can. So this can help you get more fpa. Lesser frames to render on screen is more stability and lesser sweat for GPU and CPU. About updates, i would say watch on what optional updates you install. Some might be useless. Anf there are ones in general that can slow down computer. It's a littlw bit of tinkering on google though, so up to you.

Hey I found ur video and it was a godsend! I currently have the Legion Pro 5 16IRX8 and when running Rainbow Six Siege, the gpu stays below the 3.0 range and causes me to lose/skip frames. But occasionally restarting the game it stays in the high 5.0-6.0 range and the game runs like butter. Another thing is that sometimes when I start the game, it seems like the vibrance is super high? The ingame shaders/contrast keeps flickering? I’m not sure how to explain it but it just looks like the game had its vibrance failed to a 100. Would love if anyone has any advice on how to fix this 🥹
