just tell them that tjmax is 97 and they can't really dispute with intel for this

#

they will be clowns cause they are

#

guy told me that i shouldn't order a legion online cause they'll put a higher power rated gpu and cpu on a board that "couldn't take it"

#

ah gud then

#

sick warren
#

lets see

#

if they still don't agree im just gonna go to the service center

Gen 7 3060 keeps hitting 86c at 130w

#

the AMD one pretty much did all the time, but intel was cooler as i remember

getting a heatsink replacement

sick warren
#

they mentioned ill get new heatsink, fan and it comes with thermal pads

#

so i guess im getting PTM

#

tell the technician not to apply their own paste

sick warren
#

yep, now I hope this is completed by a within a week

#

will record the entire repair process too

I hope 🙏🏼

#

undervolt that bish

sick warren
#

will be stress testing and then undervolting gpu

#

yep

Thanks everyone for helping out!

bro its like hit or miss

#

my keyboard replacement went smooth af didnt even need to argue

sick warren
#

Yeah, my experience was annoying, took them a week to even agree to replacement

#

the fan made them act fast i think

#

hope the replacement is fine

Hey, most of the Indian repair technician are inexperienced when it comes to gaming laptops. I got my heatsink replaced but the guy didn't screw the heatsink properly on the die. Now my CPU is again reaching thermal limits

sick warren
#

what did you to fix the issue ?

#

Im not very confident after hearing about other users experiences from the legion india discord

At the moment, I mostly play games on medium graphics settings.
Keep in mind that the screws are based on a spring system, therefore it is recommended to complete one turn before moving on to the next screw and repeating the process until the heatsink is fully installed.

truly clown as the 12500H has 100 thermal limit

#

if possible you should watch the whole heat sink replace procedure, and follow the "one turn per screw (in order from 1 to 6) until all screws are secured"

Got my replacement today lets goooooooooooooo

#

back to 40-45 idle temps

#

time to run a bunch of benchmarks

#

poggggg

#

temps now? @sick warren

just played apex on 1440p comp settings, cpu went upto 71 and gpu to 73

#

and It was constantly using 120w+

#

FEELS GOOD

Ran aida extra for 10 mins and it hasn't gone above those temps

#

only the thermals pissed me off loved the laptop otherwise

#

btw the old sink has dust stuck in corners

#

hardened stuff

#

i doubt compressed air would have cleaned it

#

but in the future I know how to clean my heatsink now

#

and also old thermal paste was crusty af

Throttle Stop itself gives you the ability to set TDP: TPL/Power Limits Controls/Long Power PL1
12gen works great in the 18-26W range. I tested it in many games and there is no need for it to use more power, it has plenty of it. It’s also a good idea to turn off the turbo. It works well in most applications and games, and in windows it allows you to significantly lower the temperatures.
Personally, I have turbo turned off under windows, in games I turn on and use the Long Power PL1 18-26W range depending on the game.
I also recommend undervolting the GPU in MSI Afterburner. There are some tutorials on youtube. These two things give great results in lowering the temperature (CPU and GPU are on the same cooler so they influence each other), but also help to achieve consistent and better performance. It is also a good idea to change the paste to Honeywell PTM 7950 or liquid metal (higher risk here). After optimizing the CPU, GPU (ThrottleStop, MSI Afterburner) and changing the paste to Honeywell, my laptop runs faster and is really cold.
I have Legion 5 pro 2022 i12900H/RTX 3070ti

@astral viper do you use 26W PL1 for your 12900hx BestBoiEthanRTX

astral viper
#

Why would i

#

140w pl1
160w pl2
Heavy uv, 100mhz overclock compared to stock all core
40-60w in most games

#

Also the thing would shit itself at 26w

#

Lower performance than 11300h
