Legion Pro 5 2023 gaming - 10 Games Tested (Ryzen 7745HX & RTX 4070)

[@dee1525]

Does this laptop have air intake ventiation in the bottom? Or is that the exhaust in the bottom?

[@chrisbullock6477]

Would of been nice to see with FSR performance

[@mashextra]

I might make a video just for that :)

[@josh-kk3je]

Please do

[@ilydenii]

is this thermals normal for long term? It seams to be really hot, i was considering to buy this laptop but after watching two gaming test videos with ryzen 7745HX i am really afraid to buy this. You think that i should not buy it? Go with something else?

[@mashextra]

Ryzen always seem to run hot but I do not see any long term problem yet and we have been heavily using Ryzen systems since 4000 series and our legion 5 with 4800h cpu and 2060 is still going strong

[@retroke6560]

@@mashextra I totally agree. I've been runing my legion 5 arh05h for 3 years on those kind of temps and it's still going as strong as always. if you lift it up a bit you will drop some degrees I've seen. always have a book under it lifting the back a bit and the 100º disappear.

Hi, I'm considering buying this gaming laptop. Do you think AMD is better than Intel version? Or should I go for AMD?

[@aks1008]

hello i just bought the lenovo legion 5 pro rtx 4070 and ryzen 7745hx laptop and wanted to know do you use a cooling pad while gaming with this laptop..

[@mashextra]

I don't, it works fine without it but if you did decide too use one it would knock a few degrees of heat off it :)

[@rekt4guud134]

thx, about to buy one. This exactly what i wanted to see.

I thought I was the only one with such a terrible temperature of 100 degrees.

Hi there, I’m planning to get this legion pro 5 but I’m worried about that cpu temp, it even reaches 100c on sand storm. Is that normal? Or should I just get the asus ROG strix G16 with rtx 4060 variant? Please let me know, thanks!

Did you elavate your laptop from the desk?

[@mashextra]

No, I never do for these tests as that may give people false readings if they assumed it was flat on a desk

[@Smart_boy2001]

@@mashextra and how is that a false reading 🗿 it's known in laptops fields to elevate the laptop for better cooling it's a common sense just use a regular stand

[@mashextra]

We both know that is correct but imagine I show a laptop with great temps as I elevated it (like I often do with my own laptops) but then an inexperienced user buys it doesn't elevate it then he/she thinks either he/she has a poor unit or I have given them false information. And trust me even if I clearly state it people still miss the information 🤣

[@Smart_boy2001]

@@mashextra Looks like u r insisting, however I won't force you but you can tell how much temps you get when you elevate your laptop

[@sunny_1515]

@@Smart_boy2001 Totally agree with mashextra. Just FYI I do not elevate my laptop while playing games (and I like GPU heavy ones). The default/expected position o laptop is flat for most people IMO.

Hello, Is it possible to connect a 240hz monitor to this laptop ? Thanks

[@mashextra]

it sure is, you can use the HDMI for 1080p 240hz or USBC>DP for 1440p/4k 240hz

That CPU temperature is very concerning

[@sor4NT]

That’s true but we can undervolt this for better temp

[@chrisbullock6477]

Another educational moment......Anytime you're running benchmarks and the system is running all out without V-Sync, temps are always going to be higher than NORMAL! Unless you have a water cooled tower PC. Besides the fact that this is a laptop. In NORMAL situations you will have it sitting to the side on a cooling pad and plugged into a monitor with V-Sync probably as well.. Its common sense.

[@caritoos]

You can set the power limits in the bios and the lenovo vantage software to help with thermals. It also helps to have an external fan cooler. I was able to run apex legends around 70-75 average with 80 being the max limit. Unfortunately, i dont think that you can undervolt the cpu in the software, but in the bios, there is a setting that allows you to do so but you have little to no control on how much voltage you can apply

[@caritoos]

@@jetropasoquin9825 i’m sure that you should be fine. Just keep in mind of the ambient temperatures. I live in CA USA, and the the ambient temperature here is 70-80F (21-26C). As long as you keep your laptop elevated from the desk, it should receive sufficient amount of airflow, and refer to my comment above by getting an external laptop cooler. I recommend the iets gt500 laptop cooler, if you’re going to game for long hours.

[@sampadkar19]

Why The CPU temp is always above 90

[@DeepteshLovesTECH]

Because they are supposed to run at 95C 24x7 under load. Of course you can drop them to 75C and lose like 5 fps only.

[@sampadkar19]

@@DeepteshLovesTECH Yeah, It is the characteristics of Dragon Range Processors

[@LaraZuniga-kc2sv]

@@DeepteshLovesTECH How can I drop the temperatures?

[@huzaifanizamani6100]

​@@LaraZuniga-kc2sv I think by undervolting or underclocking the cpu

[@aymenmrb4436]

​@@LaraZuniga-kc2sv u can undervolt with universal tuning program . Else go to control panel power management - advanced sett and put maximum processor to 99% instaed of 100% of course that will lower ur cpu speed to 3.6 ghz . But in 1600p on story games thats 0 effect of performance and temp will be 60s

[@MrMetrix999]

Hello Why cyperpunk getting 28 fps only??

[@mashextra]

because I absolutely maxed out the settings so I could compare against the 4080 and 4090 in other videos

can you make a video on fortnite with these specs plz
