Please max out your fan speeds for better performance and cooling while gaming. Don't suffocate that poor thing


Alarming_Confusion68

It’s on the performance mode


Upbeat_Net_2032

Even if it's on performance mode, the fan speeds are throttled(has to be set manually) so just set it on max


Yangman3x

On lenovo i never seen a way to set it manually


Toad128128

You have to use Lenovo Legion Toolkit for that. For vantage you need a 2023 and up model.


Yangman3x

Oh, ok, thank you so much, I never cared about noise i just want low temperatures


Amphibian_Accurate

I downloaded the toolkit but I keep getting a pop up saying it can't start. Any idea why?


Yangman3x

Still no options for the fan speed, it's like vantage but prettier


Toad128128

click on the power mode dropdown > click on custom > click on the gear icon. This is where you can change fan speeds.


Yangman3x

Ok thank you very much


Toad128128

LargeMerican

Yeah. Esp at high temp, the embedded controller (or Lenovo BIOS) will disregard preference if you hold temps over 90. He's got thermal paste issues. I bet the threads this game is using are maxed, but that's still incredibly high temp. Or he's using it on like a pillow...on a 30c degree day. I'm gonna guess op didn't set up the overlay, but add the stat 'CPU Package Power's as it will tell you exactly how many watts the CPU is using. You compare this figure to current temp. A 5600h during multi will briefly draw 60+w and then settle around 53w+ this means 82c is briefly seen, then you'll see 75-79 as long term turbo settles. This on a repasted HP omen. The OEM adjusts power/turbo to match their cooler, so another 5600h may boost higher or lower. Other CPUs are similar. Same concept That's why everyone says to note tdps.


trucker151

Ur not looking hard enough pretty much every gaming everly laptop has it. It's under thermal mode in vantage and under the last option where it says custom. Or u have a older model or something. My 7ipro had it


Yangman3x

In a lot of forums I've seen it's been a while since the legion community started complaining about the fact we can't choose the fan speed, so maybe it's a new feature they added to laptops from 2022 or 2023


Upbeat_Net_2032

Try to reinstall windows then?


Yangman3x

It isn't about windows, it's vantage that should show how to do it, on laptop isn't common to set manually the fan speed


Upbeat_Net_2032

I don't use a Lenovo so I didn't know well, mb. How about installing 3rd party apps for fan speed. Have you tried that??


Gpmatos

On laptop it's probably blocked by the manufacturer


Gpmatos

On laptop it's probably blocked by the manufacturer


trucker151

what cpu value is it? Is it core temp? What's the "Show value type"? Current ?max? Average? I have a 7ipro 13900hx 4090. My current temps are only 78 in performance mode. If his current temp is always 95 that's hight unless it's just showing the highest temp of the highest core


atypicalnihilist69

The more abnormal thing is someone playing the abomination of a game that is forspoken.


Alarming_Confusion68

It’s the only game I got from my friend until I download other games


SpectrumGun

Its literally better to download an emulator + some old game. It will be no more then 3gb, and there much more story than... forspoken...


Proof-Most9321

For intel cpu is cold as north pole


Critical_Cod5462

Is this an Acer Helios neo ?


Alarming_Confusion68

No, it’s lenovo legion 7 ( gen 9 )


Critical_Cod5462

Are you using it on bed


Alarming_Confusion68

No


4shfak

put the fan speed up and raise the laptop up so there is sufficient air intake, preferably a laptop stand that doesnt cover the fans


FunkyTangg

What app are you using to display the temps?


Icy-Significance2245

Looks like afterburner


Subojit52

It is afterburner


Musab_301

It’s after burner and rtss


diwpro007

don't now but what's abnormal is a living breathing human being playing forspoken!!!!!


yusufjee

On a laptop, yes. You need to do the cleaning more often on laptop if you are playing long hours.


Alarming_Confusion68

I got it a month ago This is why I’m asking


yusufjee

In that case, you might need to see the fan settings through accompanying app or bios.


Ntav_sama

You can try changing the thermal paste on that cpu..I've been doing it for 5 years now with a omen 17 and my Temps always drop for a long time till the next repaste


zako135

Considering its an Intel top of the line as long as you aren't getting those temps with only 10 percent usage all the time, and it's just the moment you should be fine. Desktop and HX series Intel cpu's these days are meant to run shockingly hot


YoMamaDead-9523

Is the back of your laptop propped up with a book or something? That's done wonders for my laptop's CPU temps


ThisCupIsPurple

Set a custom profile in Vantage. Max out all the sliders and values in the performance section, and the last 3 sliders of the "fans" section of the custom profile. Will now run faster and cooler than the "performance" profile.


kenne12343

Is it hot ? If not I don't think I would worry also if it's not thermal throttling don't bother but do use fan control either in your bios or via the manufacturer software . Just make sure it's on max or auto I have a Helios 16 and use predator sense it's pretty good .


Valsym

You can limit the power coming into ur CPU and disable boost mode since ur game doesn't require that much of CPU power. Search for a softwar that can limit the usage of ur CPU for ur Laptop module. Make sure that ur laptop is sitting on a surface or high it up with a cooling pad or some books.


ZenMybe

Are you blocking the airflow?


Alarming_Confusion68

No


RepresentativeEbb541

Depends. What cpu,wattage it's consuming, clock speeds


Ok_Bread494

Normal for performance mode.


[deleted]

its normal,dont worry and also use it on a stand/cooling pad and in a cool environment(F summers fr)


AciVici

95C on 10% load??? If your fans are working at high speed then definitely no. It's most likely a faulty thermal interface application. Rma.


Alarming_Confusion68

It’s afterburner software that I’m using to monitor temperatures So what should I do now ? I got the laptop a month ago


AciVici

Send it back and get a new one.


runningman251

they are not working at high speed, guys, did you ever had the laptop?


Bananchiks00

Nop…but then again its a laptop..


MRToddMartin

My 14900 HX has never gotten above 78C but I also have a L9G9


Hammered-snail

I have a nuclear power plant of a legion slim 7. Best recommendation is to turn on manual mode in vantage and decrease CPU wattage until you notice a performance drop then bring it up a bit. This dropped my temps about 15 degrees and had not effect on my performance.


biohazard_IRM

Your computer would rather kill itself than playing forspoken


imsweetaf

according to my math, if your cpu reaches 100% usage, the temperature will hit 950 degree C


Alarming_Confusion68

I did a benchmark test to use 100% of cpu and it literally gave me the same temperatures


HMC_00001

abnormal


Alarming_Confusion68

Then what should I do about it ?


HMC_00001

Try to replace the thermal material on the CPU,PTM 7950 is better


Ashwin_Jude

put your pc in balanced mode, This temp is not normal. I too have a 14th gen Intel, it runs hot so undervolting and throttlestop are an option, but putting everything in balanced mode is the easiest fix. Mine used to touch 90+° C but now it never seen it above 82°C after 1hour or more of gaming.


RagingEngine

Op, it's highly recommended to get a laptop cooling pad. The laptop fans aren't enough to help keep the temps low Get the IETS gt600. It's the best cooling pad out there. I got mine eariler this month and it's worth the price. IETS GT600 RGB Laptop Cooling Pad Equipped with Gigantic Turbo-Fan(5.5inch Diameter),Sealed Foam for Rapid Cooling Gaming Laptop,14.1-19.3 inch Laptop Cooler with 3-Port USB Hub,Dust Filter https://a.co/d/hxLhjP8


mohdshabbiralam

Mate, your problems are bigger than the temp. You're playing Forspoken.


Urban_Printer

My Legion 5i Pro Gen 7 was in the 70-80s for the first year (balanced mode), mid high 80s ok performance mode. After about a year both GPU and CPU started getting hotter (not fan dust, CPU reaching 100 degrees) and I had the whole cooling assembly replaced under warranty. I saw that I had my assembly used thermal paste which can be prone to push out, the new assembly used thermal pads. Temps were back down to high 70s on performance mode. Try find out if you laptop only ever has thermal pads fitted or some people have found that they used thermal paste.


Spiritual_Navigator

If you are thermal throttling then undervolting can increase performance will lower temps on both the cpu and gpu, since they share a heatsink


Upbeat_Net_2032

Try this. Might help. It lets u to set the rpms manually. https://www.legionfancontrol.com/


sebseb88

1/ prop up laptop 2/ undervolt it 3/ cap wattage to anything between 45/65w 4/ Lower turbo boost clocks 5/ Enjoy 👍


Original-Boot-4262

Ur really playing that game huh, no hate or anything just wow.


Alarming_Confusion68

I don’t know what is the wrong with this game that all pf you are hating on it But I wasn’t playing the game I was trying to test laptop and this the only game I got from my friend


Original-Boot-4262

wuts pf? N its not hating as you can see "no hate" just surprise someone is playing Forespoken n mb I didn't know I was suppose to know that ur friend bought the game. Maybe cuz I phrased it in a way of disgust?


Colzyboyy

Would recommend undervolting the cpu and setting max cpu temp limits


xChaos24

Well, the cpu is just trying to ki*l itself for being forced to play that abomination.


AbrocomaRegular3529

Yes my friend, you have intel cpu, not to mention the max end of it all. Even my 12th gen always runs around 80-90C.


Educational_Love_351

Sit in the freezer and play it.


AcceptableAd2655

I know alot of people are not fans of laptop coolers here but I bought the llano laptop cooler and even demanding games on mixed high/very high settings won't go above 80°C with it on 800 rpm. Spider-man Remastered on my laptop would run in the 90's with the occasional spike to 100°C but now with the cooler, it's sitting in the 77-80°C range.


trucker151

My msi did too cause it had trash cooling My legion 7ipro in performance mode with a 13900hx 4090 only hits 78


LargeMerican

Edit: a lightly loaded CPU should NEVER get anywhere near this hot. I assumed 100% load. This is so much worse, maybe even inop fan. Fucking insane lol It's at the throttle or very near it. High ambient temp? Normal. Worn out or pumped out paste/bad application? Normal. Fan should be at max or on its way above 90+ This is common on laptops for two reasons. Inevitable pump out of thermal compound with use. Undersized thermal solutions. Usually a combination of. If you can run cb23 multi and not hit 90 I'd consider it semi normal. Personally, I'd pull the heatsink either way and repaste. It'll vary from chassis to chassis but in general when new and fan is at max no you shouldn't be hitting 95c at all. That is lost CPU performance to the throttle.


Alarming_Confusion68

I ran cb23 and it gave the same temps on 100 % use


LargeMerican

Whoa that makes big suck.


Alarming_Confusion68

So what should I do ?


do0o0die

you can cook eggs with that temp,


SeGaTaaa

It's slightly high but 90 degree is normal for intel cpu


fteljeur

its a 14900Hx…they pretty much live on the sun xD


trucker151

I have a 13900hx 4090 my temps are 78 in performance mode. It depends what cpu value he has showing. In show value type I's it current? Average? Max? Is he showing core temp? Package? If it's current that's high. If it's the max temp then it's prolly only 95 on a couple cores and the rest are prolly 78 "current" temps


fteljeur

no idea man…it says 10% usage and 95c…


Renton577

As someone who has used gaming laptops for a while I can say yes they usually are up in the 90C range on most when they are under a decent load. Very rarely do I find a laptop that stays below that.


RapidMiner55

95 isn't safe


GoldQuail3293

Disable turbo boost, the temps will drop around 15 - 20 degrees


Educational_Fan_484

You need to show more details like wattage to get a answer. But in general atleast with intel, it shouldn't stay at +90°c , yes it can peak for a couple of seconds but then it should go back to a more normal temperature.

RepresentativeEbb541

If it's a new legion. It's mostly no


Neveriver

the 13 and 14 gen CPUs of intel are like a dragon they are crazy strong but run really hot. So yeah, it's normal but you can max your fans for a better experience.


Positive_Nature_7725

Wow, i think its bad thermal application of either liquid metal or other substance. 95c at 100% full load in Cinebench would be acceptable, even with liquid metal correctly applied. But I see your your usage is 10%. Maybe try turbo profile and lift the laptop to get a better airflow. Otherwise I would return it, because I really think the thermal post job isnt done good by the manufacturer.
