Lenovo Legion T7i - Options And Upgrades!

[@xOzymandias]

Had this for a year now, still happy with it. Runs everything I throw at it

[@DarkLinkVortex]

After spending so much time researching and having bought a few prebuilts and quickly returning them your review has helped decide to purchase this one, having some disabilities with my hands I can’t build a PC myself (plus I’m PC dumb) hearing I don’t need to upgrade this one really is amazing so thank you so much, I also got a 3070 luckily

[@cheapshot7244]

I hope your lenovo purchase worked out. I’m pretty pc savy but parts are so expensive right now i felt it was more cost effective to buy a pre built. I bought the lenovo legion computer as well and it’s been amazing ! Enjoy

It took me two weeks to get mine delivered. Completely love it!

[@rhuwyn]

I just bought one that came with a 3080 GPU. I feel so fortunate. I bought it right away given how hard it is to find GPUs normally. It should be coming on next Monday. I was so happy to find your content about this product showing that what I bought is really high quality.

[@rhuwyn]

@Zack Mattie Just came in today. So far so google. Everything is pretty much how this guy reports it, plus it has a 3080.

[@pacojaviersg]

Thanks to you, I happened to buy that same pc with the 3070 just a few weeks after your video, I was actually lucky, That's all thanks to you. it has been a great pc in my opinion, and I'm an engineer on computer systems I really push them harder than most people (Yes, I know how come I bought a Pre Built? It's easier but time-consuming to build one). It was really hard to move that PC to my home country "Mexico" but with a little patience and time I got it with me only a few months later.

I mainly use it for work purposes and computing. The desktop has shown an amazing performance and great stability. I got minor issues but it seems they are Windows 10 issues and not from the machine. Recently, I was thinking to upgrade the ram above 16, and I found on eBay a Legion memory 32GB=2x16GB D4 32U LMKUFG68AHFHD-32A, taken from a Legion T7 prebuilt with 32=2x16gb (similar desktop model).

I ordered the legion T7i, and the most unfortunate thing ever happened, upon me getting the pc today, I plugged it in obviously because I was eager to use it, and immediately the pc started beeping and there was no display on my monitor, it beeps 7 times every time i booted it up, turns out that 7 beeps means a motherboard or cpu problem, returned it at bestbuy and placed an order for the same pc again. Hopefully it doesn't come defected again!

Do you have a model number for the fury x Ram I can't find it anywhere?

[@gary1934]

new sub! love the vids on this pc. i’m new to pc gaming and i’m getting my first ox which is this exact model friday but with the 20 series. is the 650 watt PSU that comes in the pc good enough for the 2070 super that comes in the pc? is the case good for air flow? sorry for the dumb questions i just don’t want to spend a lot of money just for something to go wrong with it fast. thank you in advance for the response and love the channel!

Yes correct

Great video, I purchased a similar model, but mine has 1 m.2 1tb drive, and I can not find anywhere online where to put a 2nd drive, and tbh can't locate my current nvme drive. some clarification would be greatly appreciated

Probably not, and kind of pointless for Intel

[@sungkim5927]

@@HardwareSense I play competitive esports, and I've noticed that I'll have freezes and buffering with loads. My config has the 3080, so I'm convinced the timings are the culprit. If I swap out the motherboard for a different z490 board, will XMP work then?

@@sungkim5927 Yes the motherboard can be changed to an ATX motherboard and you can use any ram. But I really doubt that the timings are crucial, especially with Intel

Just bought t7i with a i7 10th gen and the RTX 3060 with 16 g mem from Best Buy. Open box for around $1600. Maybe a mistake. Not happy about memory issue. Trying to add storage. HDD bays no problem. SSD'S on the other hand........found no power cables! Where do I get power? Distance between SATA not long enough to plug in 2 SSD's. Took a few minutes figuring out that not SSD bay, but stand off. Called customer support and was told I need to take it to Best Buy for anything like that.

Is it possible/easy to change the cpu cooler? Might be silly but I just don’t like the logo there. Wondering how hard it’d be to transplant the whole thing to a new case, except use a new cpu cooler in the new case. What do you think? Thanks for the video!

@@JamesMcGinn14 No you can't unfortunately

[@JamesMcGinn14]

@@HardwareSense I just got the 3080 7i and it’s odd, in the vantage app it shows the cpu cooler as a fan, like on the 5i. Changing that “fan” color does nothing to the actual cpu cooler that is present on my actual machine. This is weird right?

[@CarlosELugo]

Hi Ivan again and my apologize for the much I make questions. Because I don't find anything compatible for this PC in memory (3200MHz at 1.2v and RGB, 8 or 16 Gb), I want to ask you if I buy a for example the HyperX Fury Beast 16Gb at 3200MHz 1.35v. I know that this Legion is not compatible with that 3200MHz 1.35v, the Legion will run a 2666Mhz at 1.2v automatic but with more ram??? So my Question itself is If I replace all my 32Gb (8X4)in total that run at 3200MHz, to a 64Gb (16X4) in total running at 2666MHz??? This hurt my Legion?? Nothing happens if I sacrifice MHz vs RAM??I don't know if you catch me. Thanks for your time! 👍

[@HardwareSense]

Well it's up to you, if value having more ram as a benefit, go for it. The speed drop is not that critical for Intel, but I personally would want the maximum Hz/speed instead of capa3.

[@CarlosELugo]

OK thanks for the info and recommendation Ivan, take care and hope you keeping made more videos like this!

@@HardwareSense Hi Ivan I hope you are keeping well. I purchased the two RAMs that show you (I guess) . But the RAMs do not light the RGBs. I need to setup any setting? .

Can the motherboard take multiple graphics cards? You might need to upgrade the power supply. Might the rtx 3080 versions' power supply be powerful enough to support another card.

[@HardwareSense]

Yes it can and yes with the 850w two 3070s are possible, but two 3080s might be on the edge

[@jayicaza8156]

I am running the 3070 paired with a 1650. The system draws 247W when mining. You might be able to swing two 3070s with the 650W psu but I will be upgrading it to the OEM 850 psu when my second 3070 comes in.
