can you do a video with the new lenovo ideapad gaming 3 with rtx 3050 ti and 165hz screen?
My laptop has been melting since 2019 😏
ok
buy it when you can it is good for the money
@@SHIPINDESOL Still working?
Jarrod: Turn off any other lighting
Also Jarrod: RGB for max performance!
No rgb for battery life
Rgb for gaming performance
The power of rgb is simply too strong for any laptop battery to sustain.
@@nimbusws2566 Half RGB is for balanced
Meditate infront of RBG for enhanced gaming reactions
dont forget the RBG mousepad for fps gamers
RGB gaming chair is often overlooked at as it boosts performance by 33%
This guy is the sole reason why I opted for a Legion 5 Pro and often tell my friends to watch Jarrod'sTech for any buying tips. Stay well man
Have you guys had any issues with the charge ports so far? I've ordered one but I'm a bit worried about the longevity of the charge port because the Y540 was known to fail and this has the same one.
I also love the legion 5 2021 non pro version. It's like a whole pc with good airflow case.
Same 🙌. Although, I'm still waiting for my 5 Pro to get delivered
Which WiFi card do you have on your L5Pro?
You and me both, I went Legion 5 Pro and it was probably the most informed decision I've ever made because of this channel.
1: external screen
2: use a stand
3: plugging wall power plug
4: limit battery charge level
5: increase battery life
6: performance tuning
7: use dual channel memory
8: calibrate screen
9: change thermal paste
10: RGB trolling
Thx
what does tip #3 mean? and what is wall power
@@mvwvles4168 power plug on the wall.
@@Mr._POV_ oh, ok tnx, but does always charging at 90% limit okay?
@@mvwvles4168 yes, preferred is 80%, some new laptops has that built-in bios Which limits the charge.
love it! glad to see how much youre growing as a channel as i used you for reference when getting my metabox laptop 2 years ago! shes now plugged up to a 32 inch monitor with all other accessories plugged in, love how powerful laptops are these days!
I got a steady 3fps boost with the last tip. Insane tip thanks, Mr. Jarrod.
That's low I got 70 fps boost and 29c cooler CPU
I have an i9 9900k desktop 2080 ti these didn’t help
@@_m2904 noob, I have better specs with intel HD
@King Stop motion how much did it cost
@King Stop motion same bro my monitor is 420 hertz and I can run at 69-420 ping!
Jarrod is such a workhorse. He's like laptop loaded with all the best components.
haha
Laptop loaded with all the best components… is sadly not possible
@@eludagodatyoutube449 the thing is graphic card 3080 ti on laptop is a monster, but not the best if your settings aint right ;)
@@JarrodsTech Big fan of your content! I have a question, I read in a manual for ROG laptops to charge 3 hours before first use in battery mode. What if the ROG laptop was used in battery mode right away using it until reaching 15% and then charged for 2 hours then reaching 100% without following the 3 hours charge before first use, will it have bad effect on the gaming performance or bad effect on the battery health of the laptop? Is it okay to not follow the manual of 3 hours charge before first use? Because I did not manage to follow it sadly.
Why am i watching this when i got no gaming laptop😂
Same bruh
I got a Chromebook I use GeForce now on 💀
go finance one thats what i did😂 i pay like 30$ a month
@@jc0299916what?
😂😂😂 same brother same
Hey Jarred, I decided to go back to my geek times and buy a new laptop, and I started watching you're channel and figuring what to buy. I bought a Legion 5 6th gen and I love it.
After a few months of watching you're videos I'm back to keep loving a Hobbie that I loved so much when I was a young kid.
Thanks for the videos and all the great tips.
Set your rgb to pink to get more gamer girls in games
🤯
when i watched jarrod's video for the first time i thought he had atleast 1m subs but only 300k he deserves more
just gotta tell 700k of your friends 😎
Probably because of the "enthusiasts". All of my friends who usually watched Linus and Hardware Unboxed and similar channel scoffed at me for buying a mere gaming laptop. Apparently it's the stupidest thing some people have heard. Theres usually mocking and laughter. Gaming laptops have a smaller adoption rate, and even fewer watch channels for reviews. I'm happy at least 300k said fvck it chose a convenient laptop.
@@SF-li9kh I feel like so many people, like myself, just don't have the space for a desktop PC. I live in a 1 bed flat with my girlfriend so there just isn't anywhere to put a desktop! If I lived on my own I could probably get away with it.
@@JuliusCaribouyou have a girlfriend? yeah right haha
@@SF-li9kh have them watch my 3060 laptop vs desktop comparison next week 😉
The laugh @ 2:13.
Seriously, this is one of your best videos so far. Short and simple, but a lot of information!
Really very useful tips Jarrod, I think some of the same advice can go with a PC too, like cleaning the motherboard after every month, always using high brand thermal paste, better ventilation or keeping a CPU in a dust free area, not using cheap components only high quality ones, I think it can make a gaming PC last for many years if bought the latest technology.
Recommendation for thermal paste?
@@flamez4641 you can go for either Arctic MX 4 or Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut.
> cleaning the motherboard after every month?
You must be living in a really dirty place.
@@TishSergcleaning the motherboard every month doesn’t means he’s living in a dirty place, he would’ve his PC setup near a window or something, where dust flows because of airy space..
RGB is essential for gaming laptop:
Red makes it run faster
Green for high efficiency, battery lasts longer
Blue makes it run cooler
/s
I've seen the RGB joke many times now im questioning my self if it's true
You are wise! I dont know that! Thanks.
rainbow puke is balance mode
@@Ali__7 yep it is
It can't be cooler if you have RGB.
love that Jarrod can't keep a straight face for the last tip 🤣
short, sweet, no bs, no over explaining.
lets me do my own research and felt like i should finish the vid without skipping through stuff which is good for your algorithm. thumbs up all around.
Everything you need to know, in less than 2,5 minutes.
*GIGA-props, Jarrod
Also for more fps, don’t forget to use exclusively RGB peripherals.
I like this layout and pace it’s a different side from you and I definitely appreciate it 🤛
I learnt most of these from u so u the OG GOAT Bob ❤️
@Bob Of All Trades missing your videos😢 hope you are back soon
We miss you man!
Used your video to tutorial to undervolt i7-8750H last year, it was great help. tried using it again Last Sunday and I discover that intel has now locked the CPU... my laptop is basically an oven now.
@@mutalimashamba4503 Intel didn’t do it, your laptop manufacturer did sadly.
Little tip for small performance boost and bug fixes:
Update your drivers, if you use something like AMD OEM driver please use the AMD stock driver, this even goes for any laptop that is new
Love it, straight to the points so quickly! Great video!
Great video! I like these types of video as well, and as for thermal pastes, what would you recommend for longevity and minimal pump out .
And another good addition in performance tuning will be to tune power limits if thermals are issues via XTU or AATU
If you’re in an area where it’s freezing outside, you can also put on some clothes and let the cold air in. Afterall, cooling with even colder air will definitely help with lowering that temperature
Props for that Amon Amarth shirt. A man of taste. They're one of the most chill melodic metal bands ever.
Immediately going straight to the points. Love your quick video man
I tried that option of staying 70% battery charge limit when using since my laptop is always on plug. Great tips man.
It's proved that turning RGB on will increase your fps and your reaction time but it's nothing compared if you have a gaming chair
No bs. No time waste. Explains all the points. No unnecessary ads. Respect.
Nice new format of video. Keep it up man!
if your laptop is thermal throttling i recommend going to power settings, click edit power plan, advanced settings and decrease maximum performance to 99%. what this essentialy does is disabling turbo boost, i personally decreased my temps by 15 degrees with no performance loss.
Try this if you see almost no fps boost with turbo boost or you can't use it because intel u series CPU moment
true, I did the same a month ago
When on battery power only, I set the CPU Frequency to 80% in Windows Power Plan Settings. It helps the laptop go longer on battery only before needing a charge. Although I notice a difference in how snappy the laptop is, it’s not too much different. It runs cooler and the fans do not need to turn on/spin up as often, saving that battery power for processing by staying on passive cooling only most of the time. This will vary depending upon how good of a heatsink your laptop has. The one in my laptop is pretty good. Razor Blade 15 Base early 2020 model
I did this, but there was performance loss :(. Still better than thermals going through the roof.
@@rainstorm4207 Performance loss is expected, but that depends on your components, how good they are. The worse they are the worse performance is after doing this
Nice stuff! I only have some doubts regarding dual channel memory. I set up this in my 7700hq, and overall the only thing I noticed was the increased heat on the ram modules area....
well for performance increase you DO want dual channel memory but you also want to "balance" the load by finding a "sweet spot" or conservative setting for the ram modules so you are not cooking the board :D
Dude ,you are a gift to the laptop community , I searched all of the youtube ,there is no other channel like yours, clean,clear and usefull.Thanks and God bless you...
Here’s a hack for laptop users: go left, forward, forward, right, right, forward, forward, right, forward, back to the store where you bought it and ask for a refund
Nice one 😂😂👍
2:04 i tried that and it works my laptop is now faster than usam bold
Love your videos! Thnx!
been watching your channel for days optimizing my 2021 G14. thanks for what you do
For thermal paste, I highly recommend using Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut! 12.5w/mK is one of the highest ratings. It spreads very evenly. In personal tests I have done, it not only performs better than other TIM's, but it is also very effective at lowering core to core temperature differences. This can mean a lot where it comes to thermal throttling, be it CPU or GPU temps. Built in algorithms are based on temperature headroom, so lowering the temps will naturally increase clock speeds, and keep them there for longer periods of time.
As for the batteries, yes. If you are using the while plugged in, limit the charge to 80% if possible. This of course comes with a caveat. You should charge it to 100% every so often, and drain the battery completely, then charge to 100% and reset the charge limit back to 80%. This is to insure that the battery doesn't develop any "charge memory" issues, where it it fully charged, but thinks it only has say 70% charge.
for the battery charge limit, is it really necessary to have it? and is there any trusted third party software for it? cause apparently i have none of those on my laptop.
@@marcelhrtn They would have to access the motherboard bios, because that is the only thing you can make changes. And it is important to know which apps you would give them permission to make changes within the bios. But, some laptop brands like MSI already have software that allows just that and more.
I used that on mine and has been a bit hotter since I did it. I'm going to retry it when I get some more since I didn't have much left and might have been too thin.
@@wades623 Do it again, cause you fucked up on the application
@@marcelhrtn usually those apps are from laptop manufacturer (MyASUS, ArmoryCrate, Lenovo Vantage, etc)
Love number 10! Moar RGB, moar pouar! Jokes aside, I'm already applying these tricks on my Lenovo Legion 5 pro and they make a difference for gaming.
Well made, comprehensive, and compact. THAT'S how it should be done.
Now that was fast, quick and incredibly useful
Wow Jarrod has a smile ! 😯
Who knew!
@@JarrodsTechi'm a subscriber since 4 years and i didn't know !
Thank you for the fantastic videos and insights!
Thank you for getting right into it
As an owner of Razerblade Stealth, I can confirm that having RGB lighting gives you an extra .5% in performance!!
As a TUF user, it is indeed boost by 0.51% in performance
as legion 5 pro user i can say. RGB increases performance .52
Pro tip: customise the fans speed for better performance. Enable custom fan speeds and you should get to see a graph, then turn all the interactive figures up by minimum 10%. Sorry if the explanation is a bit poor :(
Lenovo Legion users: hmm... 🤨?
@@Hagurmert lmfao 😭
@@Hagurmertidea pad gaming users : 💀💀💀💀
@@Hagurmert what's wrong with Legion users? (asking because I don't have one yet)
@@TishSerg you cannot do custom settings except for template fan settings (ie office mode, normal and turbo)
Very quick, even though I don't have a gaming laptop or even a laptop in general I appreciate this video
Thank you very much!
if you have an intel system, check out ThrottleStop. This will give you greater control over your thermal performance (overclock and undervolt options), allow you to set a more specific performance setting while on battery mode (eg, only use X% of the CPU power and to boost or not boost) and with the help of additional programs, allow you to set your screen to automatically change refresh rate when plugged in or on battery.
I combine this with HWiNFO64 so I can put my thermals, CPU usage and GPU usage on my task bar for easy monitoring.
I used a gaming laptop in a friends house for a few days and I had to use ThrottleStop from techpowerup and saved me. Disabling the turbo it was all it needed to stop overheating and freezing. Do you use for any other than that? Curious too about the Hz change...that saves power.
Hey Jarrod, this year's Acer Predator Helios 300 has two variants. One with the 10th gen Intel i7 10870H and the other with 11800H.
The laptop itself is an intriguing competition to thr Acer Nitro 5.
Would you look into it?
I bought the Legion 7 solely for the RGB as I know it maximizes the hardware for best FPS! Thanks Jarrod!
Straight to the point great video sub!!!
Air circulation is definitely important with gaming laptops. Especially in hotter climates. A fan close by will also make a big difference.
Sir this is really true I’m living in a tropical country and my temp is really high it helps to lower using cooling pad better with aircondition in my room...
@@bonsaratbu8498what if i use ac at full cooling power does it make a major change in laptop?
Yeah mine used to shutdown from heat with my fan aiming at me and the laptop it stopped completely still suggest a cooling pad or both
Been using MSI GF65 with enabled battery charging at 50 to 60% only and after a year, my battery went from 100 to 95% 👌 Totally recommend that option
Nice!
Hi, where do you configure that? I have the same laptop
@@tonallyv6850 MSI Dragon Center >battery
@@mersh2282 thank you!!
@alisaaa It means your battery will last X times longer 👌
tanks for ur excellent info.
Thank you for making this short.
The most important tip ........... the rgb for improved performance and increase of fps😎😎
There you goo
But he did decrease the refresh rate from 144 Hz to 60Hz isn't 144 better then 60 ??
Your reviews are why I bought a 2020 Legion 5 last April. Thank you!
Happy to help!
Legion 5 is great!
Me 2
u still have it ? how is it now ?
@@hanionline563 Still using it and it's really good. Haven't had any serious problems so far.
its less than 3 minutes with 10 useful tips, i very much appreciate this !
Your break from your usual speech candor at tip #10 was endearing, I actually don't mind the predictability of your tone of voice at all but hearing something different and tinged with emotion to boot was cool
Can you elaborate a bit more on the battery tip? Shouldn't the power brick stop sending voltage when the laptop hits 100% battery, and not damage battery lifespan? Also, what kind of third party software do you recommend for limiting charge power if your computer doesnt come with that built in function?
Thanks in advance!
i want to know more on this too! apparently there's no explanation about this on youtube
I just assume that the power from cable will stop redirecting to the battery and instead directly power the component when it's at 100%. Is that not the case?
The software would have to gain access to the bios from the OS. I am sure it might be possible with Linux, but for Windows. Not so sure, and you would have to be careful which software you would give access to it.
Not sure if you'd read this Jarrod, but a friend of mine has a Dell G7 7588 and we recently found out that the newer bioses actually prevent undervolting (they block intel XTU and throttlestop). I was wondering if you knew any way around this or had a way to enable undervolting again, as it would help his laptop from overheating
The fact they've locked your friend out of undervolting should mean that there's an even BIGGER issue with the hardware that they can't get around and preventing undervolting has proven to be something that diminishes the chance of that issue occurring. I'd steer clear of undervolting and get a cooling pad for that laptop, cheers
Thank you! I needed this since I just got the Lenovo Legion 7 Slim today
Last tip works like a charm!
Can you do a battery longevity rundown? I think it would really help not only the laptop gaming community, but the whole laptop community in general
Are there any battery charge limiting programs for the 2021 HP Omen 15?
At 100% I get like 9 hours out of it for simple tasks and I only need 4 most often, I’d much rather keep it lower than 100%
Well you're in luck I found your comment today haha, maybe we can help each other a bit, I have got a hp OMEN laptop too my boy, and I believe I changed my battery charge limit in the BIOS, eventually one day my laptop was like hey you should make this 80% and took me to it. Weird right?
Just Google how to access BIOS if you don't know how, also you can help my by telling me, do you know how to solve the cpu thermal throttle and the GPU FPS stutter it is literally making me want to off myself 😂
It would need access to the motherboard bios. Since that MSI Dragon Center did.
Thank you!!
To the point. I love it. ❤️
Tip number 10 is very useful, got me 600 FPS on Osu! :P
It's the one thing big laptop doesn't want anyone to know about!
@@JarrodsTech True Indeed 😂
actual great vid, and the secret 10th Tip blew my mind!

Thanks for the tips man xD
I'm switched from macbook to pc and now pc to laptop and your channel is like a saving grace ngl
Thanks for the advice mate your vids have really helped me with my laptop
Happy to help
the bonus one changed my life thank you very much deserve a like and sub
The final tips are amazing 😆
I just like all pf his videos. And while im not in the market for a new laptop. I continue watching his vids
Very informative
Definitely glad to know about battery limiting! That definitely is good to know about that
Well the number 10 was great. A home from Jarod is crazy
Im getting a gaming laptop for xmas so this is gonna be great help, thank you very much
Badass shirt man, I saw them live with slayer!🤘
Great video!
Your videos are reason why i got Legion 5 with Ryzen7 and RTX 3060. Thank for your work and extensive testing
Glad I could help!
In 2 minutes many things can happen. This is the fastest tips that worth watching. Thanks, you've just got a new subs
Simply useful 👍
Glad to hear that
thankyou for the limit battery tip
Jarrod is the man. Thanks for tip 10 it gave me a 15% FPS boost
What i like about this video is that it is short and quick.
Really nice :)
this is the most satisfying one out there .
Thanks!
Ich bedanke mich für diese wunderbaren tipps :).
LG
I love you Jarrod´s Tech
Definitely do more videos like that
Thanks... Tip no. 10 is the best ❤️
Not a elongated unnecessary 10 15 minutes video, straight facts, never change with success my man
Thank you so much for the tip number 10 i will probably do that
Put some thermal pads between the cooler assembly and the back cover. Will lower the temperatures ALOT, especially with a cooling pad. The downside is, that the surface gets untouchable hot when under only medium load. But because I only use the laptop on battery power on my lap when doing light work, I don't care. And in combination with liquid metal on cpu and gpu, aswell as some insulating paste around the dies for safety, I have 17° lower temperatures on my XPS13 with the 1185G7. It basically runs on Intels max allowed boost level all the time.
you're the reason why I opted for a Legion 5i, salute from a moroccan fan
This is just brilliant Jarrod! Thank your for your tips!
Holy you squeezed 9 tips into a two and a half minute video?? Good stuff man! Most TH-camrs these days would unnecessarily drag it out to 10 minutes.
