Lenovo Legion Tower 5 Review - Way More Upgradable Than I Thought!

I bought a legion t5 about a year and a half ago, i was skeptical because i have always built my own rigs, but the price of 3070s at the time in Norway made me almost get the rest of the computer for free. I was very happy with this computer and i would have no trouble recommending it to anybody.

[@J.Wick.]

prebuilts have come a long way. The Legions by Lenovo, and the Omens from HP are two I always check out. I have a 5yr old OMEN (8700/2080) still running strong. Something rarely brought up with pre builts is that you get a full warranty, and usually the option to add another year or 3, for under $100. They mostly use good cases, PSUS, and components these days, and it seems that they're always on sale of some kind. And you're buying from ONE single vendor. I've upgraded my OMEN with Memory, HDDs, SSDs, GFX cards, etc. ANd the case is standard enough, that if I wanted to, (I dont) I could build another new machine inside it. I dunno, they get a bad rap IMo. and years ago, that was warranted for sure.

[@jacklamat6315]

The omen is a much better build i hated the legion to be honest, the low tower and the new omen are my favorites. I dont like these huge builds that fall apart when you look at them

[@TrevoltIV]

I saw this thing on Amazon as I was shopping for parts to build a new work PC. So now I’m here trying to find out if there’s a catch because I basically had all the same parts picked out (actually a worse CPU, Ryzen 7600) and it was gonna cost me $1200

[@TrevoltIV]

@@mrJOcean I just received mine yesterday, I can tell you it’s absolutely amazing for the price. I can easily run Warzone 2 on maxed out ultra settings, ray tracing, literally everything on max and it gets 75fps. If you cut it to all high settings it’s around 110-120fps depending on where you’re at on the map. Fortnite I had a bit more trouble as far as maxed out epic settings, but with just high it runs perfectly. Probably something to do with the large map on fortnite. Every other game I’ve played (halo infinite, rocket league, minecraft) have been completely obliterated by this machine. 10/10 performance for this price level. There’s also another m.2 slot so you can install another SSD when you need it

[@TrevoltIV]

@@mrJOcean This PC may not be a huge upgrade from a 2070, as it has a 3060. But mine came with double the RAM as your PC so that is an upgrade. How many frames do you get?

@@mrJOcean Dusty? Seems like you need an upgrade. I’ve been seeing reviews on that exact gaming desktop lately and I’ve noticed that it has horrible airflow.

Hope this helped :)

[@craig71686]

I bought one of these in 2021 to get a decent GPU without overpaying for one. I have upgraded the base CPU fan to the Artic Freezer 34 eSports Duo and then later to a Deepcool Castle 240EX AIO. I also upgraded the 3700X to a 5900X. In addition to that I upgraded the RTX 2060 to an RX 6700XT and the RAM from 16GB to 32GB. The video card upgrade required upgrading the power supply as well. Lastly, I added the motherboard VRM motherboard heatsinks from the Lenovo site and added a heatsink to my NVME SSD. These machines are highly upgradeable and I recommend getting one if you want a prebuilt that you can upgrade in the future if you feel comfortable.

[@mrljgibson]

It does sound like it would still have been cheaper to build your own.

[@craig71686]

@@mrljgibson not at the time of buying it. An RTX 2060 was $500 new when I bought it because of the crazy GPU prices. I got the whole computer for $1050. It came with a 3700X, 16 GB RAM, RTX 2060 and 512GB pci-e 4.0 NVME. I have been building computers for over 20 years but I was curious how upgradeable the computer was from stock. I can always build another computer but it works fine for now.

[@dyno017rhino]

Just ordered this today from my local Curry's to replace my current budget Gaming PC I've had for 5 years now. It'll be till tomorrow when I actually get my hands on it, but I was really curious, so I clicked on here to see what it's about. What I'm most excited about, is the level of upgradability this has. I was recommended the PC because of that, as well as the specs, namely the processor. My current PC doesn't offer much at all in the way of upgrading, so this is a much more promising alternative. Plus it just looks REALLY COOL with all the RGB lights inside showing off all the components. Can't wait till tomorrow 😊

Is it possible to change the rgb of the fans?

[@danielfernandez418]

Cant change the color to whatever you want, or at least without other software. On the lenovo command center you can change the brightness and what they do in each part, i have mine on cpu temp color so i always know if im good just based on the lights

Shame, because the games actually ran really smoothly but there's something very, very wrong with the PC internally to be causing all these issues.

Always get a refund if you can, then rebuy, that way you get the refund period again, if you get a replacement then it's still ticking down while they mess around.

[@im_Jasper]

Glad yours bricked when you got it. This line of PCs from lenovo is known to brick after 3-12 months due to bios issues. These typically appear after windows updates for some reason. The newer bios update fixes it, but it is a nightmare trying to get the pc to boot back into windows so you can download the new software. Took Lenovo like a year or two to release a bios for it that fixes the issues. They were repairing these by swapping the mobo and downloading an unreleased “experimental” bios for warrantys

Looking at this or a NZXT Streaming around the same price for my son's first gaming PC. The NZXT has the same GPU but lower tier CPU, fewer fans,, better PSU, H510 case with the solid front no mesh, BIOS is XMP, overall runs warmer based on other reviews. Go Lenovo and upgrade PSU or NZXT and upgrade CPU?

[@draupnir_101]

i'd suggest you go with the custom-build route instead, it'll be a fun activity for you and your son. if you don't like that, i suggest you go with the nzxt streaming plus - the one with 5700x and 3070. looks like this specific lenovo pre-built is back at 1399 pricing per his link in the description box. going with the nzxt one will get you a better GPU and the 5800 vs 5700x will just perform the same with the advantage for 5700x having the PBO in BIOS if you're into that overclocking stuff.

[@ianobodie2338]

@@draupnir_101 Thanks for the reply. Not ready to build one just yet. I lucked into a good deal on a Legion with a i7 12700 and rtx 3070 so I have one of those on the way now. Can't overclock but it's a few hundred cheaper than I could buy the same components. Without the deal I might be able to go cheaper building myself. Savings provided room for a PSU upgrade. Overclock components would cost several hundred more. Still like the looks of the NZXT but too many reviews of the older cases running warm. Maybe they'll move to their flow cases for prebuilds in 2023 but my son can't wait.

[@CYCHIATRIC]

Me too. Same problem. The Lenovo onsite tech had a look and said the PSU is very small and the space allocation in the case limits what it can be replaced with and i might need an STX PSU to replace (not an ATX).

Just bought this pc for my son but the lights on it won’t come on. The fans run and he can play games but no LED lights. Any tips?

You should be able to turn on the lights in the Lenovo Vantage app that is preinstalled into the pc

These often come with a Lenovo m/b that has some bios limitations watch out when upgrading memory as it may not be able to run at its best speed. 😉

[@Chris_Cornell69]

I saw another video saying the same thing. The person in the video said that could be fixed with a new motherbroad

[@TrevoltIV]

I can confirm, mine came with a Lenovo motherboard which doesn’t look the best but performance is great nonetheless. If you want to upgrade, all parts are easily reusable in another mobo, but no upgrade needed if you’re fine with ultra settings 75-100fps on pretty much any game

[@TrevoltIV]

Oh and I’ll also add that mine came with 32GB of 3200mhz, and it seems to be utilizing most of the speed

[@DoINoYa]

So I have very similar build but only 16gb of 3200mhz. If I purchase 32gb as long as it’s at the 3200mhz will I be ok?

I have the 5800 non x and the stick cooler is just fine. I play on my off days for 6 hours at a time and I’ve never gone above 70 degrees Celsius

[@paviawille9889]

Would it be possible to upgrade the cpu on one of these Lenovo towers? Mine has a b660 chipset, so I lve been thinking about maybe in the future upgrading to a i7 or i9, maybe amd but I’m not very experienced in building/upgrading pcs

[@TechRoundUp]

You couldn’t swap over to AMD without a motherboard upgrade, but could definitely upgrade a lower end intel chip to a i7 or i9

[@TechRoundUp]

Also just need to pay attention to the power supply wattage to make sure it can handle the higher power draw of whatever cpu you upgrade to, along with the gpu power draw

What type of RAM does it take and what is the maximum amount of ram that you can have

[@Shai_22]

I was wondering what RAM I can upgrade to that’s 32 gigs?

[@ZayRaps]

Any ram that is jedec (I think that’s how it’s spelled) it will run at its rated speed. If anyone tells you that it’s not a good system bc of proprietary limitations it’s because they can’t fuckin read, and think that everything has to be “pc master race mah framesssss”

[@00dreamer00]

It's currently on sale for $629.99 at microcenter. Do you think it's worth buying?

[@TechRoundUp]

At that price it’s really hard to beat

[@Septeus]

DONT DO IT!! The reason they're on sale is because of a known issue that causes them to crash after 5-12 months of usage. The motherboard is fucked and there isn't any solution other then reinstalling BIOS and waiting for it to happen again, generally in 2-3 months. I got one a little over a year ago and at this point the things totally useless.

My biggest complaint is the absolute joke of a motherboard IO. They already offer MSI GPU's on the lenovo website, I wish they would offer a standard B650/E MSI board, or even just build their own to a decent B650/E spec. Feels like they're using an A series equivalent. Talking about on the newer versions, but this one has the same problem.
