I watched a lot of videos to see if someone say to remove battery first, you are the first one saying it after a lot of videos. BIG LIKE ! I wanted to add one more SSD to one Legion Pro 5 2024, after i open the plastic cover and try to unscrew ssd metal protection it makes one little spark when i touch the screw with screwdriver, after that when i finish, the laptop doesn't charge anymore. Lucky for me, the laptop had just arrived the day before and the store refunded my money when i send it back:)) also a little to strange, because i have an 5 years old Legion and it went through a lot of industrial sites, dust, bad environment , blowing with compressed air, disassembled several times for cleaning, etc. and still works perfectly. I know you need to remove battery but I was in a hurry so I dont give so much importance. As a warning, ALWAYS REMOVE BATTERY after you open the cover ! :))

If I'm not mistaken... you have to enable xmp for intel, and expo for amd in the bios in order to get the full RAM feequency of 5600. But lenovo does not allow you to do so, for whatever reason they don't give the end user access to memory speed overclocking in their bios. It's unfortunate, lenovo is my favorite gaming laptop brand, but they are leaving basic pc functionality on the table with this decision. Memory overclocking is basically standard practice at this point as the advertised RAM speeds when purchasing RAM is the overclocked speed..

Try crystal diskmark on P3 plus with 64GB seq and get ready to be disappointed. It needs to be above 20% capacity written.

Yeah, performance is lacklustre at best, but for a games drive that relies mostly on read speed this hasn't been an issue. I would NEVER use a P3 Plus as an OS drive

@MashITTech What about your high performance SSD temperatures in the laptop? I read on Reddit that quite some people complain about their Gen 4 M.2's throttling under load because the SSD's get way too hot in laptops and if you have one of these as BOOT, the OS gets unstable? Did you experience any of that?
@MashITTech10 ай бұрын
no issues at all! I have done extensive testing on Gen 4 drives on this years laptops and yes, if you do not use a heatsink they throttle like crazy, but with the heatsink provided on this Lenovo (and alienware/razer/XMG I have tested) there has been no tempterature issues with the provided heatsink used. The WD 850x is one of the hottest running drives too, the Samsung 980s I have used run way cooler but are only available in 2tb max :(

the RAM upgrade is silly, except people need more than 16GB or whatever ships with your laptop, but upgrading for the speed is really a waste of money. good tip for the Crucial P3 ssd. I don't know if my laptop requires it, since I bought another model, but I'll see. I bought the 6800h + 3070 , probably the previous generation. fast enough for me, lol.
@MashITTech Жыл бұрын
it may be silly for a lot of people for sure but it is a necessity for me due to my work load and I know a lot of people will want to know what the max size it can handle (hope that makes sense). And yes the speed is pointless but as the 5600mhz kit was almost the same price as the 4800mhz in the UK it made sense to try it

Hello! Thanks for the review, but it seems to have shut me down in looking up again, i've been looking everywhere and on forums for my the exact build i got which is the stock version I5-13500hx - 4060, 500gb of storage & with 8x2 (16gb of ram), are the upgrades still limited to 32gb of ram max and 1-2tb for this system or could i go further? I wouldn't want this thing heating up to the point of burning and not working sadly.. Thanks for the reply if so and would love to know the limits as i've set my eyes on what i thought might be best which are : Kingston FURY Impact 32Go (2x16Go) 4800Mhz & Samsung SSD 990 Pro M.2 - 2Tb
@MashITTech9 ай бұрын
That was exactly the pro 5i that I got :) Ram wise you can upgrade to 64gb fury and although it wont hit 5600mhz I would still buy that kit instead of the 4800 because the timings are faster (unless there is a big price difference in your region, in the UK there is not much difference). SSD wise, you can run up to 2x 4tb SSD thanks to the new Samsung 990 pro single sided SSDs (recently covered these drives in a video if you are interested. Hope this helps but if you have more questions please ask.
