Lenovo did a lot better with this one. Great seeing a much beefier build by them here. Thank you for making us aware about the price hike also. Hopefully they bring that back down in a few weeks. I will be purchasing a 4090 in a week so these videos about SI builds and the reviews help me figure out what to expect when pairing it with other hardware in various builds. Lets me figure out more about what I may need to change out in my own. Always appreciate these down-to-the-point reviews you do and showing what matters. Good stuff man.

Got this for $2490 when it was all said and done. Have had it 1 week. THIS THING IS BEYOND Epic. Used my own ram and pulled a 36k overall timespy score. 39.5k gpu, 24k cpu used my own Ram... Use msi afterburner to boost gpu fans they are set at 40% max no matter the Temps. I dropped gpu Temps by 6 c with a simple curve up to 65%. MONSTER MACHINE

Three M.2 drive slots, two 2.5" SSD drive slots and two mechanical HDD slots. I can't even begin to comprehend what max internal storage would be in this.

Its nice to see they are using a standard form factor motherboard so it can be replaced later if needed.

Update- I received the Lenovo on Thursday. Setup was a brease, and it is awesome. I ended up increasing the ram to 64GB Corsair Vengence RGB DDR5 5600mhz and added an additional 1TB SSD (Mobo has heat sinks for additional SSDs, and 2 slots are readily available above and below GPU). Changing the ram speed settings was no issue (have to reboot up in safe mode from settings to access advanced bios) Total cost before taxes 2940$ which is a hell of a deal for: 4090 GPU 2tb M.2 Gen 4 SSD I9 13900 CPU with a massive RGB AIO 1200W PSU Runs quiet and temps are stable. Playing Cyberpunk Phantom Liberty at an average of 100FPS at 4k on my LG Oled. This PC does not dissapoint!

As of 9/14/23 it is $2,999.99. Lenovo and most OEM's put high MSRP but put them on sale A LOT of the times. Just wait imho.

Thank you so much! Just bought this for $2700 USD for the 4090, 32gb, i9-13900KF

Showing what the buyers needs to see the most and sellers maybe don't want. The temperature and its comparison

This PC (both the 32 and 64 gb models) is 25% off right now on the Lenovo website! Brings it down to 2999 for the 64 gb model and 2829 for the 32 gb model

Stellar review, just got the 4070 Ti version of this, good upgrade suggestions. Biggest bank for buck I've seen around.

Just ordered today with the 4090, i9 13900, and 32GB of DDR5 for only $2680 with discount codes. Was less than 2900 after taxes. Couldn't pass it up

This is the first time OEM mobos have beefy VRM heatsinks.

I use Photoshop, Blender, and games frequently. It's a pity that the memory speed isn't the best, but I'm curious to know how much of an impact that will have on my workflow.

I'd be interested in a video or segments that focuses on potential upgrades and/or mods for quality of life, overall boosts/performance, and bells/whistles.

Got mine for $3100 after tax. For someone who is as lazy as me and have a ton of lenovo stuff (monitors and laptops), it’s not a bad price imo

The problem with the HP 45L is that there is not a single PCIe slot available. The Legion provides both a PCIEx16 for a full size card and a PCIEx1 for small cards. With the Legion I was able to add a 10GB Ethernet adapter instead of being stuck with a 1 GB Ethernet port on the HP 45L computer. The HP 45L has a brilliant case design which is why it allows the components to run cooler but a mini-ATX motherboard is used that does not fill the case and so could have provided PCIe slots. The big negatives with the Lenovo Legion are no provision for lifting it and no way to turn off the very bright case and logo lights (which can be done with the 45L). In the end I decided to buy neither tower and will wait for new offerings. GPU heat is a problem with the 4090 that draws 450 Watts as compared to the RTX 4080 at 320 Watts. In terms of price performance the 4090 costs 33% more to gain 15% better performance.

Keep it up man, Your videos are detailed and I like them. Appreciate the effort.

I have this exact model. It was awesome for the first three weeks I owned it then one day while playing Cyberpunk it randomly crashed the whole PC to a black screen. After that it wouldn't run any games or any GPU benchmark software without crashing within a couple minutes of playing. It would run CPU benchmark software just fine. I called Lenovo support and was given a replacement which took nearly 2 months to be delivered. I just received it yesterday. So far the replacement seems OK. Great review BTW!

One of the best PC reviews I have ever seen! I love your approach of no BS and a fairly fast pace with all of the facts/results. I'm now a new subscriber... thank you. 👍

Great video as always! This PC often goes on sale. Important to keep an eye on price when buying!!!

I just bought this today with a coupon for $2460.00 not counting tax. What a deal.

Just got this same machine for $2660.. A fucking absolute STEAL. PRETTY much a free 4090 and I9 upgrade vs the 4080 i7s that go for 2500

Thank you for the useful informations! And just a reminder that you misspelled Lenovo in your title.

Just got mines (4080 13700k) today. I should have it all setup by this Friday.

Great and informative review! I had been considering getting the Alienware R15 but based on this review and a 25% sale Justin linked above, I just ordered the 4090 64GB RAM 2TB M2 SSD version for $3,000 which appeared to beat by a very wide margin the price of any other similarly equipped PC at this time. With Rakuten rebate and an additional 1 year warranty, the total cost was $2850 before tax. The system is scheduled to arrive next week. I will need to increase the storage and potentially replace the RAM to address the speed issue mentioned in the review. For the additional storage, the review mentioned there are three available M.2 slots. What requirements for M.2 drives are there, if any, for compatibility with this system? It sounds like the system includes heat sinks, so an added M.2 drive would not need a heat sink? Will any size of M.2 SSD up to 8TB be compatible? For the RAM replacement , can you achieve the 5600 speed with 2 stick of 32GB RAM (for a total of 64GB)? Thanks in advance for anyone who knows the answers to these questions.

so its at 2,9999 what do you think worth getting for my 1st pc

Great review. Purchased one for $2700 today.

Could you get a metal side panel with air vents instead of the glass one and would that farther help with cooling? Or would it not be worth it?

Can the mobo be changed out later if you want to upgrade?

I can get the Legion 7i 4080 for 2300 after tax or the model with the 4090 (the one you reviewed) for 3k after tax. They're both identical setups with the exception of the GPU. Is the 4090 worth the extra 700? I usually keep my PCs for at least 5 years.

Thanks for this video. Really appreciate the bench marks

Just grabbed one from 2650 on sale with extra 8% from the cash back site. Thanks for the great video!

so some dear friends got together and got me this PC but with the 4070 :) i'm very excited to get this!

Just picked up this one for $2,176.20 pre-tax with the military discount as well. Can't wait!

Yeah Lenovo is the champion I think (I dont know anything about PCs)

Hey there, this exact machine with 2TB and 64GB ram is available for $2820. Does it seem worth it at that price point? The 1TB and 32GB ram is available for $2660, but unsure if either is worth it at this point.

Is the T5 3060 ti still worth buying? Or is there a better choice in the same price range?

Actually, the radiator is in the CORRECT spot as it SHOULD be in front drawing in air. What they have done wrong is have the pipes on the top of the case, the radiator needs to be turned the other way, as it's going to get clogged with bubbles long term. What a shame. But while you are acting all surprised about the radiator being in front, did a light bulb go off and you realised the correlation between the much better CPU temps on this vs other pre builds? That's the reason.

Hi Justin. Thanks for another excellent review! You also do what I do when I purchase a new PC. Before I even set up my new PC, I'm upgrading it. A keyboard and mouse for my ALIENWARE R8 would have been an extra cost option. To outdo ALIENWARE, my new CORSAIR i8100 didn't even come with either a keyboard or mouse. As you already know, both PCs cost well over $4,000.

People worrying about even sustained temps of 80c on a CPU or GPU shortening “life” need to get a grip, those temps are absolutely fine.

You should do laptops too. I really like these reviews, I work a lot in different software so it's nice to see how they all line up.

Whats holding back the lenovo on the fps? Heat? Curious if you reconfigure the fans it would make a difference

if you want to increase your max bench, just use the 4090, there is nothing else that matters, fitness goals. 10 reps x8

Thanks for the video, do you know if this PC can have more then 1 gum slot drive? I have 2 installed in my current PC.

I couldn’t change stock ram’s speed from the bios, any tips?

This recently went on sale for 25% off and is a really good value right now, and in thinking of picking up the 4080 version. If I plan on playing games in 4K, is it worth the extra $200 or so for an i9, or would an i7 be ok? I'm not really planning on playing any first person shooters where eeking out every fps really matters, but I also don't want to bottleneck myself, at least not too hard.

I love your vid cause it’s informative and relaxing great vid👍🏻

Lenovo makes the most beautiful looking prebuilds out there

Question. Which one would you choose for graphic design and video editing: Corsair Vengeance i7400 i5-13600kf OR Lenovo 5i i7-i3700f. Both are $1699 at bestbuy. Thanks!

I love your content man! Amazing stuff, keep it up👍

Today, wIth the BENGEXTRA6 eCoupon you can get the Legion Gen 8 RTX-4090, i9 13900K, 32 GB 5600 RAM, Liquid cooler for $2600!!

Great video! So I gotta question I wanna buy a new pc and I’m stuck between 2. The AW R15 RTX4090 i9 4TB 5200Mhz or the Corsair Vengeance i800 RTX4090 4TB i9 6000Mhz. The AW is $600 cheaper 🤔

Hey congrats on 54k!

Bestbuy has this at 3100 Canadian Beaver pelts right now

No longer available...less than 24 hours after posting the review.

Waited for this video

Would it be possible to use a PCIe riser to vertically mount the GPU and regain the expansion slot? Desperately need the extra PCIe x4 that’s blocked. 😅 and in Canada this system can’t be beat for price.

I'm sorry, but I'm new to PC gaming. How do I get to the Legion BIOS? Is it pre-installed or did you have to download it elsewhere?

I'm able to buy this PC for $2700 after taxes and everything right now. Could you please explain to me like i'm a 5 year old about the ram issue? What do I need to do after I get it and is this a good price and good deal for this PC? Thank you!

Thanks for the video. The 4090 towers are now back in stock but the config are different tho. It only comes with 32GB and 1TB of storage. This is actually my preferred config for $240 less in price. It's listed at $3,780 but I was able to get it for $3,311 instead. 3 yrs of Ultimate Support warranty was only $64 more so why not. I would say for this price it's worth it. Before this I was set on building a custom one but honestly I still have my doubts. This Legion 7i Tower Gen 8 looks nice but a custom similar build 4090 FE (which I already secured) would cost me just a little more (around $3,700), less if I went with a 7800X3D for around $3,400. I think I would be more happy at the end as well. I still have time to cancel my order tho but I will decide later this week to do so or not. My item isn't shopping until early next month anyways.

Wow what a review! Thank you.

can the 5i legion tower gen 8 be reviewed next

So can I run 2 x 32Gb rams @5600Mhz, or it's limited to 4 x 16Gb for 64Gb rams in total?

Any tips on how to remedy the high gpu temps?

Does he do any undervoling or anything else to the pc before these tests. Or is this factory settings for the most part right out the box?

I’m in the market to finally buying my own end game pc but I’m being confused with all those previews and different KZfaqrs would anyone suggest the best pc to buy ? Money isn’t an issue just lookin for a pc to play everything on high resolution and enjoy it for few years any suggestions is highly appreciated

Hi, thanks for the perfect info to help with purchasing. I just bought the Legion Tower 7i Gen 8 (i7-13700KF) with RTX 4080. I bought the version with just 512 GB storage and 16 GB ram because of the better discounted price. I will want to upgrade the storage to 1TB and the ram to 32GB but I don't know what storage and ram is compatible with the motherboard. I contacted Lenova but they wouldn't/couldn't tell me so I'm wondering if you know and can tell me and/or provide links for both compatible upgrades in Canada.

Hi. I just got my Legion. I want to buy a couple 2.5 SSDs for it. Are the sata cables aready included in the case?

Bought the rtx4070 model that came with 5600 already preset with 2 sticks of 16G. Liking it so far. It was 1420 out the door.

Hey Justin! Do you keep all these towers or send them back after testing? Cheers

Work discounts I got this beast for $2800😊

Hi Justin, I just subscribed and I’m in the market for a desktop gaming PC and my budget is between $1100 to $1300 and this is my first gaming PC. I’ve had an HP Envy laptop with an internal 620 graphics card so I’m nowhere near as familiar with the various machines. I’ve watched your videos on the Omen 25L, Alienware R16 and now the Legion Tower Ri Gen 8 3060. Out of these what would you say is the best choice based on my inexperience and my budget? My intended time of purchase is to be next week, April 2024.

Awesome vid!

Would love to see a review on this PC with the 13700k/4070ti. Believe it's just different enough. Just picked one of these up today for $1350 on eBay as a refurbished unit. Couldn't beat the deal.

Just got mine with the 4090 set up in my office 😁

Can you stream with this PC? It’s on sale right now for $2750. Seems like a steal for the 4090 model.

How did you make that wall behind you?

Would u recommend building my own? Related to upgrade possibilities

would this/the 4080 version still be good to pick up? ive never had a prebuilt before/tower in general and feel like lenovo might be a safe bet, especially with the sales they are doing but i wouldnt be able to pick one up until a couple months from now

Where to buy link ?

What should be the average temps for an rtx 3060 (I usually play games like RDR2 ,AC ,COD etc mostly single player games)

Just got the ome45L for $2800 rn in hyperx thank you.

I think desktop cases and motherboards need to drop all those USB type A ports and just give us the Type C ports. we really need to start the long slow kill of Type A and one way is to stop giving us 10 Type A ports while 2-4 USB Type C ports. My desktop has 2 Type C to like 8 Type A. I only need 2 Type A for my keyboard and mouse.

I got good deal at $2646 before taxes with this Legion tower w 4090 beast. Im super excited. Not sure if its the best deal but I felt super good with this deal. How to compute this price to performance ration with this 2.6k price? Thanks

HELP!!!😁. I’m ready to pull the trigger on the HP45L with the 4090 graphics card but the system only comes with an 800w power supply. Everything I’ve read, says the minimum requirements for that video card is at least an 850 W power supply. What are your thoughts? I don’t want to upgrade my power supply as soon as I pull it out of the box.

Can't change or turn off GPU RGB Omen 45L either, just sharing

Hey justin, im in the market for a pre build pc but idk wich where i should start since my issues are a bit unique, mainly cooling and space. My room where i game gets easily up to 40 degree Celsius and my current pc is easily in high 80 playing so low end games because of it As for space my desk has only space for cases that arent longer then 19 inches long My budget is dollar 3000 or less do you have any suggestiond?

i love your video so much just wanna say your the best

what rams I could upgrade to?

For some reason other versions of this desktop come with no display ports or an hdmi cable, for example the 4070 ti with intel on the lenovo website does not come with any dp's or hdmi ports. Would a usb to dp cable work?

I love Lenovo legion and this new one looks so nice

Def grabbing it as it’s on sale for $2800

I had a Lenovo legion laptop that had a bunch of issues. Their new desktops seem decent.

I tryed buying the Lenovo 7I RTX4090 but they were out of stock on Lenovos website so I got my self that same computer but with a I9 RTX4080. I hope it works when it comes. lol.

Does anyone know (before I open the box) if you can use a hot key to turn off all the LEDS? Even better if there is a away to use Alexa or through Samsung Smart things?

is this avalaible some where in eu?

I think this desktop is now like $2400. An update video coming soon maybe?

Does anyone know if you can replace the mobo later? Its a standard z790, but lenovo may have messed with it?

Lenovo pushed another update to the Vantage software. You can now change the lighting on the GPU (although it’s a bit buggy).
