I got mine on Black Friday for $800, but its because I opted for the more budget friendly configurations. I've been a console gamer my whole life and wanted to dip my toes into PC, especially to enjoy mods on games like FNV. All the stuff was delivered by now but I'm waiting for my semester to end before I start setting it up.

That vrm is going to throttle, i had a t5 with a i9 and no vrm heatsinks, any wattage above 125w on the cpu made it throttle. Had to replace the motherboard cuz it was messing with my frame time. Idled at 75c and ran above 100c while gaming! Also this only happend in performance/balanced mode. Quiet mode throttles the cpu at 75c. Performance mode doesn't increase fan speed it only allows the cpu to get above 75c and only then the fans speed up. Not to forget that these fans are 1.2A fans 12×1.2A=14,4 watts which is really bad for a case fan

ecause Nvidia and even the AIB specs have to assume worst case, so they are giving recommendations of something like a 12900KS that's 150W base 241W boost (or higher depending on motherboard with OC), highest drawing motherboard, RAM, a bunch of case fans, RGB lighting, etc, Lenovo would base on what's in the computer, so in that case a 65W CPU that boosts up 117W, so that's 220W GPU + 117W CPU, so 337W plus other components in the case.

It's one of the best prebuilt systems you could get and it's also got good temps and the connectors are not proprietary so you can change the case or whatever component you want. HOWEVER,Lenovo systems will LOCK the CPU to their boards only so if you want to upgrade the CPU later,the old one can't be sold because it will only work in your specific motherboard only,and also it will lock your new cpu to the board again too so if the board will die you won't be able to use the processor on any other motherboard either

You didn't mention negatives at all? The PSU is a cheap off-brand 500w. The 4070 has a minimum recommended PSU of 650w. The ram is cheap and runs at 4400MHz, which isnt the greatest. These are the weak points of this PC. The bios locks the ram to run no faster than 4400MHZ. Your review seems biased in favour of lenovo. Overall its a good computer, but it has negatives too.

@nodaitsu10 ай бұрын
It is a fault. Sort of. Google around and you will find plenty of reports of memory not running at spec on the Legion Tower 5i and 7i. Commonly, 4400 MHz for two modules, and 4000 MHz for four. 7i was fixed for some people with a BIOS update later on. My own 5i, basically identical to this one, is still stuck there, even with the 5600 MHz modules that Lenovo shipped with it. Only real solution is to hope for a BIOS fix later on or to replace the motherboard with a third party one - thankfully fairly easy thanks to the standard parts. Bonus of going that route, you can enable XMP profiles and overclocking and have in general a much more useful BIOS. Edit for slight addendum: Some report success getting another set of memory of their own, but at least for the 5i at present you must be sure it has a 5600 MHz JEDEC profile, at the DDR5 official 1.1 Volts rating. XMP or EXPO will not work, seemingly no matter what, and often require much more voltage. For what it's worth, I specifically sought out a 32 GB kit of Crucial 5600 MHz modules that I knew would have the correct specifications, and while it did give me some additional choices in the sub-menu, still no luck in getting it to boot at 5600, so your mileage may definitely vary. The lower speed is not a deal breaker on performance, just a little annoying to not get what you paid for on the sticker, you know?
@KBsVlog8 ай бұрын
@@nodaitsu I'm going to consider myself lucky. I was able to run 5600mhz for my ram kit but only on 2 sticks. I tested with 4 and it would not boot with XMP. Alternatively, I was able to run the 4 sticks at 4000mhz.

With this latest BIOS update, I can happily report being able to use the XMP profiles now! Just be patient with it while it trains. Have not tried with the RAM it came with since I got it, since I upgraded to a 32 GB kit pretty quickly. Also be ready for a BIOS reset if it still doesn't like it. Running smoothly at the rated 5600 now with two modules, and now even more pleased with what has been a really high value purchase.
