Just upgraded my memory to 32GB and added second SSD. This video gave me extra confidence and eliminated all guesswork as to how to do this for this laptop. Thank you very much.

[@rishu714]

does it support gen 4 ssd ?

[@reztrez700]

​@@rishu714 i guess yes it supports gen 4 ssd

[@MisterRavlyk]

There is a service mod option in the bios that disables the battery. no need to disconnect the battery plug.

[@TheUltimateHacker007]

Still all repair manuals on the manufacturers site will always tell you before any touching parts to disconnect the battery

[@MisterRavlyk]

@@TheUltimateHacker007 I agree with this if you are talking about completely disassembling the laptop for repair. But to replace RAM and SSD, this option is enough, one is made for this. The average person can change these components himself, so as not to touch anything else, all sorts of small details. The connector on the battery is small, plastic, and you can accidentally break it or create a short circuit right next to the connector if you start trying to disconnect it with a metal screwdriver due to inexperience. That’s why, in order not to take risks, this option is made for average people, so as not to touch too much. And RAM and SSD are quite easily removed and replaced, and it’s difficult to break anything there.

[@TheUltimateHacker007]

@@MisterRavlyk On my Asus repair manual it says to first disconnect it even it's just ssd and ram

[@MisterRavlyk]

@@TheUltimateHacker007 But we’re not talking about Asus, but about Lenovo. I don’t know if Asus has such an option to programmatically disable the battery in the BIOS to replace RAM or SSD.

[@naibafYT]

Just noticed that if you want to install a dual sided m.2 nvme SSD (e.g. Kingston fury 4tb), you should use the *initially empty slot on the left side* (with sufficient space below) instead of the one on the right with OEM SSD (where my SSD would clash with another part underneath and you notice lots of resistance when trying to push the SSD down).

[@reztrez700]

Can we add secondary full size nvme ssd in the slot is it possible or have to with OEM ssd

[@BeatPatrol420]

I didn't know Arnold makes laptop upgrade videos

Thanks for this video. Just verified on mine that the "secondary" ssd is the one on the left that he replaced. I am upgrading my secondary to a 4TB. I also installed 64gb kingston fury ram.

[@TheSvdal]

Hey! It's yours working fine with all those upgrades? I'd like to do those too, but supposedly mine just accepts up to 32gb of ram (I checked in cmd) and just 1tb. I have the 16ACH6H.

[@factionfx]

@@TheSvdal WD black 4TB SN750, and ram is kingston fury 64gb. PN KF432S20IBK2/64 on amazon. FYI, I have teamgroup TTZD464G3200HC22DC-S01 in another computer and it has been working well for about a year. I went with kingston fury on this lenovo because the company was buying and I watched a video where the CL20 speed improved performance about 10%.

Putting in a slower ssd is like buying a corvette and putting a civic motor in it. Wtf were you thinking? Even if you don't need it, it came with it, why would you downgrade?

Can you play at 16:9 aspect ratio on this laptop? I’m pretty sure GPU and Display and everything else are able to render 720p, 1080p and 1440p but would the image be acceptable or there’ll be some out-of-border or crushed image?

[@namikazewassim7442]

Its 1600p 16inch when you plat at 1440p it becomes 15.5 inch ,but somtimes it gets confusing when i play resedint evil at 1440 it gous full screen but when i play at 1600p it gets borader screen i guss some games aren't optimised for 1600p gaming as such if i play 1440p am not playing really ate 1400p but more like 1200p cus the image gous full screen and when i play at 1080p it gous also full screen but its not fhd cus the image is beeing stratched but when i go 1200p it gets borders this is only in some games other games run fine fullscreen at 1200p and 1600p

[@jamesglazier8402]

Is this model compatible with double sided NVME drives? example: a 4TB NVME drive.

[@matusjurcik6974]

Nice man 🙂, can i ask you? I also have the legion 5pro. For games what type of ram would be the best? Cl15 2666mhz, cl17 2933mhz or cl20 3200mhz? Cause clock cycles should the shortest on the cl17 2933mhz option right? ... With the xmp profile in the bios it would be much easier... just to pick the highest freq with the lowest cl and best speeds... But almost all laptops doesnt support XMP in the bios 😒 maybe due to the tepmeratures or so...so kingston rams are almost the only best option and they do 3200 with only cl20 but 2666 cl15 and 2933 cl17 and they run at the full potencial on Jedec so which one?

[@savvylayman]

Hi there (alebo čau? :), you are almost always better off with higher bandwidth. A (very simplified) rule is that 1 CAS tick is worth 200 Mbps (sometimes wrongly referred to as MHz). I also used Kingston Fury kit with 16 GB of capacity. You can check how well it does across a few games in my last video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gJDdgayAZrCemtU.

[@matusjurcik6974]

@@savvylayman dikes ciže mozme po Slovensky :D. Ok cize spravne chapem ze bude lepsie na hry zohladnovat max frekvenciu (mhz) cize cl20 3200mhz? Brat vymenil ramky v lenove y540 (podporuje up to 2666) of kupil fury cl15 2666 ktore idu na max aj bez xmp. Ale boli 2rx8 este dodam. Dostal o 30-40 fps viac na cs go a fortnite na 4k. To znamena zo 140fps na cca 180fps na 4k a podobne. Tak ma zaujimalo ci nespravila ten rozdiel cl15 latencia lebo predosle ramky mal tiez 2666mhz ale len 4cipy na strane tak predpokladam 1rx8. Cize je hlupe si mysliet ze lepsia latencia spravy viac ako maximalna frekvencia? Ze cl17 2933 nebude lepsi vykon ako cl20 3200mhz? Do coho investovať? Mam legion 5pro cize podporuje up to 3200mhz.

[@savvylayman]

@@matusjurcik6974 Lenovo, zial, nepodporuje vo svojom BIOSe XMP ani manualne nastavenie timings a tym padom funguju len klasicke JEDEC timings. Aj v tom videu spominam, ze som povodne chcel kupit Crucial Ballistix CL16, ale potom som zistil, ze CL16 ide len cez XMP. Preto asi najlepsie, co vies na SK zohnat, su prave Kingston Fury CL20. V Gigastore som kupil 16 GB kit za tusim 73e, co je rozumna cena. Samozrejme, ze 2Rx8 by boli idealne, ale take som nevidel. Ku hram: Kazda hra sa sprava trochu inak, ale vacsinou hry, ktore dosahuju vysoky framerate (CS:GO, Fortnite atd.) su citlive na rychlost RAM, pretoze su CPU-bound. A znova, ovela viac sa to prejavi pri 1080p ako pri 1440p. Mna osobne prekvapilo, ze napr. Control, ktora je cisto GPU-bound, dosiahla ovela lepsie vysledky po RAM upgrade. Osobne si myslim, ze CL17 2933 bude na tom velmi podobne ako CL20 3200. Ono je problem v tom, ze CL ti nepovie celu pravdu ani len o primarnych timingoch, nieto o sekundarnych a terciarnych. Takze vzdy to bude trochu loteria v tomto. Ak ti to pomoze, tie Fury maju timings: 20-22-22-22-42-74-560/1T.

[@matusjurcik6974]

@@savvylayman ďakujem 😊 to o xmp a jedec samozrejme viem ale kupil som cl16 ballistix (co si spominal) lebo som predpokladal ze to bude podobne ako u kingstonu (max speed na jedec) ked to aj tak vyraba micron a su to podobne zamerane produkty bol som lenivy zistit ako to je naozaj😀. Inak prave preto ze kingston robi 2rx8 iba 16gb a viac rozmyslam ze kupim 32gb kit. Popripade su este tforce zeus a tie robia 8gb aj 1rx8 aj 2rx8 ale to co ti pride je viac menej loteria nakolko ten udaj o bankoch neuvadzaju a podla serioveho cisla co mal jarrod (8gb 2rx8) mi prisla aj tak 8gb 1rx8(ten kit som vratil) fotky boli vzdy iba ilustracne. Cize u zeusov aj rovnaky kod moze byt bud 1rx8 alebo 2rx8... madness 😀. V kazdom pripade otestujem aj tie bratove cl15 2666 kingstony spravim benche a rozhodnem sa. Dikes za odmenu ti davam odber 😁. PS: tiez som bol toho nazoru ze najvacsi rozdiel bude pri 1080p ale ked bracho na 4k mal taky velky rozdiel cs go a fortnite tak neviem uz teda... 😀

[@savvylayman]

@@matusjurcik6974 Stavil by som sa, ze som dal reply, ale nevidim to tu, tak radsej pisem zas. Ja len, ze takmer vsetky 32 GB kity su 2R a aj Kingston KF432S20IB1K2/32 je 2Rx8. Len mne sa uz zdal prilis drahy na to, ze celych 32 GB by som vyuzival len sporadicky.

I have an issue and I'm hoping somebody can help! I started with a perfectly working system. Same specs as in the video. I installed a second NVMe SSD and when i booted neither drive was visible in the BIOS. I removed the new drive and the original drive was still not visible (and had not been touched at all at this point). If i put the new drive in the 1st slot it is visible. If i then add the original drive to the 2nd slot then neither is visible again! It feels like i have bricked the original drive, though without touching it! Or is there something simple i am missing?

Regarding the memory that comes with the L5P. I picked mine up retail from walmart and the ram that was shipped had the correct timings. I think Lenovo fixed the problem and is sending ram with correct timings, if anyone cares. You can always check the timings when you get your L5P with zen timing app on the computer, before buying new ram and possibly wasting money.

And what should be the timing? Because I passed an order of L5P with 32gb ram and I Wonder if I need New raw or stock ram is fine
