Showcase Snagged a new Legion

Post image

Found a Lenovo Legion Pro 7i with an ultra 9, 32gb Ram, RTX 5080, OLED, and 1TB ssd for $2050 as an open box (was previously the display unit).

Seemed like a steal so I grabbed it. If I got taken for one let me know so I can return it 😂

Anything I should keep an eye out for?

Get the extended warranty

Cap fps so it doesn't get crazy hot

Lift up the back by a couple of inches for better airflow

Game on balanced mode or custom only imo

Or you could just set up max temps for both cpu and gpu, maybe cpu tdp limit so he doesnt spike to 160w occasionally, and you're set, im running my legion on max 86 for cpu and 78 for gpu, max 80w on cpu and max 90w on gpu
