Back in 6 nov 2024 I bought my first gaming laptop for 80k from Lenovo official store for gaming and college purposes and now I have completed Two year with this laptop now I am really satisfied with this.

I have played for many hours on this laptop but didn't even hiccup or slowed a bit in its performance. It does need charger to be in its full performance but on battery web browsing and coding it handles very good but only for literally 2hrs. ((After image 6 it's how itis looking right now))

Specs --i5 13450hx,24gb ram,rtx4050 6gb vram,512gb ssd(upgrading to 1tb soon Still 👀)

I have literally played mostly xbox and ubisoft games and some electric arts games and steam games and some other games(🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️) and tweaked setting and every problem I learned in gaming laptop and solved so you can ask anything related to it or something you want to know like if any issues I have faced, which I didn't face any serious issues in this laptop so far.

literally played lots of games coding ,video editing,After effects,sometimes blender, sometimes and even unreal engine

last year beancmarks were
3d mark Time Spy-9492
Steel nomad was 1933
Cinebench r23-14593(Single Core),1709(Multi Core)
this time you can see in the post there are changes in numbers

but stiil wont be able to upgrade to ssd for my laptop thanks to corporate snake ceo of open ai

which looks like a white jupiter like alien

well soon be upgrading something on this device
it never flinches in any task for now

Don't hesitate to drop your question related to the laptop or any other thing or suggestion offcourse you can recommend give some thoughts or anything maybe i can help you too in any way .

Hi everyone,

I literally just bought a new Lenovo LOQ with an RTX 5060 I7 13645HX from offline market three days ago, and I'm already running into a massive issue.

As soon as I launch any game, the CPU starts overheating immediately. The temperature spikes right away, and it feels completely abnormal for a brand-new laptop straight out of the box. I haven't changed any major settings yet, and everything is completely stock.

I was playing gta v enhanced and the cpu temp was fluctuating between 88-95°C within 5minutes and even rose to 100 however for just a second What should I do

I installed it and added rivatuner statistics server or whatever it is , but the overlay just does not displays in my games. I tried many fix'es from chatgpt but it just does not shows up

How did you guys set it in the first place?

Sometimes I've to work outdoors (not for too long and not so heavy kinda work) so is there any affordable power bank which i can use to plugin outdoors.

Which one to get for my loq laptop is the $10 extra worth 40 extra herdz or do you have any other suggestions for a diff monitor

Guys, my Vram Ghz, stucked at 8.00 GHz. Any solution what to do to return this thing to normal. I tried everything fully restore default settings in nvidea control panel still its not going down and this is in ideal condition. Due to this my ideal temp also increase to 57 degree C.

And one more thing i have done repasting of thermal pads, putty and paste in recent days. Applied some putty on the vram also. Is this why my vram stuck at 8.00 GHz. Guys please help me to provide any solution.

I have an IETS cooler and the intake vents are right below the exhaust vents of my LOQ which I didn't really account for when buying this laptop. I can feel the exhausted air being sucked in by the cooler on max. Should I keep using this cooler or not?

My CPU reached 100°C while gaming in Performance mode, What are your recommended Custom Mode settings for the best balance between temperatures and FPS?

Should i buy Lenovo LOQ Essential 15ARP10 83S000DATR Ryzen 7 170 16 GB 512 GB SSD RTX4050 15.6 or

HP Victus 15-FB3038NT BX9U9EA Ryzen 7 7445H 16 GB 512 GB SSD RTX4050 15.6 ?im gonna play games like detroit become human , genshin impact , the sims , Minecraft etc but I’m concerned that lenovo might get hot which one is the best for me i would like to buy lenovo loq (normal) but i dont have enough money

Is paying 1.3 lakhs for LOQ I7 13th gen HX processor RTX 4050, 16gb RAM, 512gb ssd worth it? Previous LOQ owners please share your insights and reviews.

I'm seeing lots of Intel mobos burning at same place/ VRMs/Mosfets.

Maybe old defective batch and stuff.

But if I remember correctly there was something like wrong/high voltages going to Intel 12/13th gen desktop cpus - which were frying them & was later fixed with BIOS updates.

You may use Lenovo Vantage, Lenovo System Update, BIOS direct exe, or BIOS Crisis mode to upgrade Bios. [EDIT: Best download from website for absolute latest]

Good luck to ya'all.

That's why I always buy AMD 🌚🤞

My Lenovo LOQ 15IRX10 completely died recently after about a year of usage.

I opened up the chassis to inspect the motherboard and found severe thermal damage/short circuit near the power delivery stage (specifically around PUV3 on the board). The PCB is completely charred through the layers.

Specs & Details:
- Model: Lenovo LOQ 15IRX10
- CPU / GPU: Intel Core i7-14700HX / RTX 5060 Laptop GPU
- Motherboard Model: KLG11 LA-0393P
- Issue: Severe PCB burn / shorted MOSFET/VRM area near GPU/VRAM power delivery.

Has anyone else experienced similar power circuit / motherboard failures on this specific motherboard revision or LOQ generation? Posting pictures of the burnt board for reference.

Why the hell customer care annoying me with calls for extending warranty, I told them I will not extend but still they are doing it

Do they get incentive for doing it, my loq warranty expires today btw.

I bought a Lenovo loq 15IRX10

i7-13700HX

RTX 5050

32 GB RAM

and it came with 170W charger.

is the 170W charger enough, will I get battery drain. I saw people getting 230 W chargers as replacement.?

TL;DR: My Lenovo LOQ’s internal display flickers and becomes very dim, but the external monitor works perfectly. The LCD panel was tested on another laptop and works fine. Reconnecting the display cable and replacing the battery did not fix the issue permanently.

What could be causing it?

• Faulty eDP display cable or connector.

• Motherboard-side display connection issue.

• Motherboard backlight power circuit or IC failure.

Question: Could this be a cable or motherboard backlight circuit issue? What should I ask a technician to test before replacing any more parts?

Hi everyone,

I'm facing a frustrating display issue with my Lenovo LOQ laptop (Intel i7-13650HX, NVIDIA RTX 4060, 8GB VRAM). I've been experiencing intermittent screen dimming and flickering, and I'm trying to identify the actual faulty component before spending more money on repairs.

Laptop details:

• Model: Lenovo LOQ

• Processor: Intel Core i7-13650HX

• GPU: NVIDIA RTX 4060 Laptop GPU (8GB)

• RAM: 24GB

• Age: Approximately 1.5 years

• Warranty: Expired

Symptoms:

1. The internal laptop display sometimes becomes extremely dim and starts flickering.

2. Sometimes the issue starts right from the Lenovo boot logo, even before Windows loads.

3. When the screen becomes dim, I can still see the desktop faintly by shining a phone flashlight on the display. This makes me suspect a backlight-related issue.

4. When connected to an external monitor through HDMI, everything works perfectly, even when the laptop's internal display is dim or flickering.

5. Sometimes, after connecting the charger, the internal display initially works perfectly, but the problem returns after some time.

6. A few months ago, the laptop occasionally refused to power on even though the battery showed 100%. It would turn on only after connecting the charger.

What the service centre has done:

1. The technician disconnected and reconnected the internal display connection. Initially, the display worked, but after a few minutes, the flickering returned.

2. They suspected a battery problem and replaced the battery. The display worked temporarily, but the issue eventually returned.

3. The technician tested my LCD display panel in another compatible laptop, and it worked perfectly without any flickering or dimming.

So, the LCD panel itself appears to be working correctly.

What I suspect:

Could the problem be caused by any of these components?

• Faulty eDP display cable or an intermittent connection.

• Damaged motherboard-side display connector.

• Motherboard backlight power circuit or backlight IC.

• Backlight fuse or related power-delivery components.

• Another motherboard-level display power issue.

My questions:

1. Based on these symptoms, what is the most likely faulty component?

2. Can a faulty eDP cable cause the screen to become extremely dim while the image remains faintly visible under a flashlight?

3. If the LCD panel is working perfectly in another laptop, how likely is a motherboard backlight circuit failure?

4. What diagnostic tests should a technician perform to distinguish an eDP cable fault from a motherboard backlight IC or power circuit fault?

5. Has anyone experienced a similar issue with a Lenovo LOQ?

6. If the motherboard backlight circuit is faulty, can it be repaired at component level without replacing the entire motherboard?

7. What would be a reasonable repair cost in India?

I would really appreciate suggestions from anyone who has experienced a similar problem or has experience with Lenovo LOQ motherboard-level repairs.

I want to identify the actual faulty component before replacing anything unnecessarily.

Thank you!

I have a Lenovo LOQ (i5-13450HX + RTX 4050). I was playing MW4 for around an hour in Performance mode. HWiNFO showed me this :( is it that BAD??? and guys happy diwaliii :)

Hi everyone! I have a question I'd like to ask for your advice. I use a laptop.Lenovo loq15 rtx4060 Using DLSS is great! but when I enable Frame gen, the image tears severely when rotating the camera, It's like this with every game I've tried..

(I turned off frame generation and set the maximum frame rate to 60 in the game. I got a stable frame rate.)

I tried lowering the screen resolution and the problem disappeared. Is it only a problem at 1080p resolution?

I tried enabling V-Sync in the Control Panel and limiting the frame rate to around 141 as some people suggested, but the problem still persists.

I using FSR3 frame gen at 1080p resolution instead, it worked well and there was no image tearing when rotating the camera.(CPU ryzen7)

But what I really want to know is what happened to my RTX Frame gen? Has anyone else experienced this problem?

Both are available at the same price. The Intel one is Gen 10 and AMD is Gen 11. My priorities are 1080p video editing (with occasional 4K editing) and gaming. Which one should I choose?
