Pro 7 16IAX10H thermals on the 275hx thread
So I'm making this post in hopes people who had this laptop on least pro 7 cause i don't know how the fans are on other models I'm making this post about to gather other people's experiences when it comes to the thermals and if you had any heatsink and fan replacements due to the laptop overheating and the cpu is avg 100c while gaming no matter how light or heavy it is if you had to eventually had to get a motherboard replacement i would like to hear that too
The reason I'm making this post is because i had originally bought this laptop back in august 2025 ultra 9 275hx 5070ti and i remember the laptop had the best cooling due to the high rpm fans i remember both cpu and gpu would be over 6000 and they was doing an amazing job well around the time i had to have my fans replaced about 5 months later i also found out that the fans was never going near 6000 at all after the replacement and there was a bios update around that time well ever since i had the first replacement i ended up having 4 and then a motherboard replacement due to possible warping and the cpu and gpu was avg their max temps well after my motherboard replacement someone mentioned it could be due to having AVC fans and not FCN like i originally had so i recently swapped them to FCN fans put on ptm new gel for the vram chips and pads for the other chips
When i booted up the laptop i went straight to legion toolkit just to find out that they're capped at 5200 cpu 5400 gpu just like the other fans this whole time i thought it had to be the bios/ec which proved me right and i had a few others tell me that they noticed their fans don't go as high like they used to
The whole point of this post is when i was talking to the higher ups at lenovo they said in order for them to actually look into it they typically wait till enough people to complain about it and we don't have anyway to go back especially the people who updated the bios to 77ww 78ww people who have high end machines shouldn't be jeopardized because lenovo decided to limit the thermal capabilities of their system like i had to have a motherboard replacement months later because of that change
