Nicely done!
Just a suggestion to show the BIOS feature to suspend the battery prior to installing the memory or SSD. This would help to electrically protect the components. 😀
Noob question, how does one do that? The BIOS feature to suspend battery that is.
Yea this must be known to legion owners
how to do it?
@@omersoncruz1081 search around in bios from ur legion laptop. You will find it
From what I remember, you go into BIOS -> More Settings -> Configuration -> Disable Building-in Battery.
To access the BIOS press F2 during the boot.
For all the people trying to figure out what NVMe he used, it's the "Sandisk Ultra m.2 NVMe 3D 1TB",
which is a 2280 type. So apparently any 2280 NVMe till 2TB will work just fine, even tho in the laptop's User Guide says that the 2nd slot is 2242
man after 12 years of using asus rg73jh i cant wait to get my hands on this beauty
That will be a nice upgrade!
@@techthinkable4610 hahaha yeah
Impressive it lasted for 12 years
@Amadeus Luciann afraid not... i was in the middle of purchasing on the page for warranty , thats the page after you modifly spec ... and got error 404 .. costumer service told me it was sold. This is the 2nd time i ended up in this situation. Both times laptop sold in less than 2 hours.
@@svb6406 yeah.. still works 🤣
so the toughest part of this process is removing the back cover. you slowly move the computer around for a solid couple of minutes but, as soon as you get to the interesting part, you speed the video up. lol
thats one of the hard parts, I could not remove one of the screws in left SSD slot cover, motherboard goes down a bit and I used good phillips screwdriver, PH00 and PH000, it didnt budge, will have to insert disk with cover still attached, I do not want to drill the screw now and I tried everything else
Just man handle it pushing the cover towards the back while you pull it up. It'll pop right off. No damage.
the hardest part for me was to watch this video without any sound :(
I almost broke my finger while i was removing the back cover 💀
Yeah
I have the Lenovo Legion 5 15ACH6 15.6", Ryzen 5 5600H, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050, 8GB, 256GB SSD, Win11 Home, 82JW00BKUS would upgrading the 8gb ram to 32 gb ram be worth it or should I just upgrade to 16?
Upgrading to 32Gb of Ram is perfect, I had the same model with 512 Gb SSD. I upgraded the ram to 32 GB (dual kit 16 Gb *2 which gave me incredible performance) and added 1TB SSD Gen 3, following the Lenovo guide. You can go for 64 GB of Ram but that is just overkill. You can sure add up to 4 TB of SSD as well, but I would not recommend it because the drivers were not specifically made to support that much storage.
What's the spec of the memory and storage that you upgraded? Would you mind sharing a link? Thanks!
It supports up to 32 and it can be with 2 sticks or one 32 ram. The 32 is always dual 16 that you only need one 32gb ram. The M.2 is 1TB and support up to 2 separate hard drives.The OS cut partitions inside the hard drive that the 2 slots is to make it easy to reinstall without partition loss to the secondary storage. It can be used to upgrade to another 1TB since the M.2 is already consumed by having the OS installed on it.
Warning: please use extra caution when removing back panel!
I Attempted to remove the back panel but ended up breaking one of the plastic side vent covers 😢. Think I will skip any upgrades before I break something else...
Dw too much abt the broken piece
It doesn’t matter to much
The battery must be disconnected when performing such manipulations.
Nice vid ! What form factor did you use for ssd upgrade ? Seems to be 2280 with 1To, though when i check specs for the new Legion 5 pro it says it has a 2280 (used) and a 2242 free.
2280 with 1TB capacity. You can also use 2240.
@@techthinkable4610 Mine is arriving soon, and i would love to upgrade it in a couple months (moving to Germany for a semester this July) . What's your SSD recommendation ? Does it have to be 2242 ? Can i use something like 2280 2tb WD black or samsung ?
@@kb8102 yes, you can use 2280 or 2242. You can also go for 2TB. I would recommend Samsung or SanDisk SSDs, they are very reliable.
@@techthinkable4610 I don't understand how you mean. According to the specs there are two M.2 bays, one 2280 which is used and one free 2242, as Nicolas says. I suppose you added a 2242 disk since the 2280 slot is occupied. Is that not correct?
@@henrikg1388 no, I added a second 2280. I said that you can occupie the second slot with either 2280 or 2242, there are screw holes for both of them.
My God... Disconnect the battery first!!
Does the motherboard have PCIE gen 4.0 SSD Slot?
They will work, but with PCIE Gen 3 speeds, no Gen 4 support on Ryzen 5000 mobile.
@@techthinkable4610 didn't zen 3 (5000 series) supported PCIE gen 4.0?
I wouldn't change or add any component without detaching the battery...
Upgraded TONS of laptops over the years. Never disconnected battery. Never had an issue.
You can hold the power button for like 10 seconds and it'll discharge the battery or something like that. There is also apparently a BIOS setting that does the same thing. You really don't need to detach the battery to add memory or SSD. I would only detach the battery if you're doing something like repasting since you will have go to the cooling system. Of course, if you want to be extra cautious then there is no harm in detaching it (unless you mess up the connector).
THANKS!!!! :D
OMG, people don’t forget to unplug battery, if you don’t want to burn some components up
I think it's okay overall as demonstrated on the Linus video with ElectroBoom, but I 100% agree. Better to be safe than sorry as I practice disconnecting the battery myself
DON'T DO IT LIKE IN THIS VIDEO. He starts in a place where you can't separate the body! Don't start inserting by the fan outtake, but start in the lower part... Could have put a warning or something in the video!
^^^^^ This. I just did this upgrade and if you start at the front of the machine with the proper tool it's not that difficult.
Hi
thanks for the video.
do you know the maximum size that you can use for your ssd upgrade? Is 2 TB also possible? On amazon they said only 500 GB is possible but you already used 1 TB.
I dont know 100% if 2TB would work, but I see no reason why it should not work. If I get my hands on a cheap 2TB I will try it out.
@@techthinkable4610 Yea I know. I also dont see a reason why it shouldn´t work but Lenovo wrote this on amazon :" Sie können den M.2 2280 SSD bis zu 1TB und M.2 2242 SSD bis zu 512GB erweitern."
It translates to you can use the M.2 2280 SSD up to 1 TB and the M.2 2242 SSD up to 512 GB.
So really strange...
I hope that I will get my legion 5 pro in 3 or 4 weeks and can try it
@@sevenpounds1463 so, did you try the 2TB? :)
@@xico2011 no sorry. Amazon didn't deliver me the legion 5 pro (after over a month of waiting time they cancelled the delivery and some days later it was more expensive in stock again...)
So I bought a legion 5 (not pro) which was easy available and upgraded it with a 1 tb SSD.
@@sevenpounds1463 that sucks :/
Is your default ram 1rx8 or 1rx16
its the best laptop so far i put 1tera rocket nvme... brutal fast
From Which Country did u buy this Laptop . Estimated Price & Availability . Is It Thermal Throttling During Gaming ? Performance compare to Previous Gen ?
Reply me back
Considering, that his video description is in German, and so is the keyboard and windows interface language, that leaves Germany, Austria, or Switzerland. Which makes me a bit sad, since I was hoping for a metal shell laptop, and I will be buying in Germany, so it is likely I'll get as well plastic, as Lenovo has only so many SKUs per country..

im not good at teardown i dont want to risk it
Мне страшно телефон доставать, вдруг разобьётся, а тут так тонко
Looks like you got the laptop with x8 stock ram.
first thing's first before remove laptop parts, disconnect power supply cable first
What is the screwdriver spec used to remove ssd plates? Is it Philips PH0
I tried right now to remove the SSD plate, hard as hell but I could Do It with a PH1
@@dave2030 oh ok, when I removed last time (at time of my comment) it was very easier. Don't remember if ph1 or 0
Can you add a 2tb nvme to a legion 5 pro that has a 1tb already in it? Or it has to be a 1tb
Yes, you can.
The Samsung RAM are Garbage, you change them
Yes I already changed them. But my model here in Germany was not as bad as in other countries. I had better subtimings. But still changed to CL18 3200MHZ.
Nice video! I'm looking to install a 2TB or even a 4TB m2 SSD for greater storage capacity (modern AAA games take up to 150 GB each and this will only grow in the years ahead). Lenovo specifications states that this laptop only supports up to an additional 1 TB SSD. So is there any possibility that a higher capacity SSD could cause trouble like freezes, restarts etc?
The spefications are just a reference, you can put more than 2tb SSD in this Laptop. No, troubles reported, everything works perfectly fine.
i belive we read the same pdf from lenovo, i belive they are claiming that they only offer up to 1tb ssd
@@Zvon-zb4nt yes. 1TB+512GB its what they mention in technical pdf.
Also they claim it’s 32 GB max*
Then with little letters *the system may support more memory when as technology develops, whatever that may mean.
I would love to hear if someone upgraded to 64GB because I just ordered this laptop with 16GB RAM because that was the only piece I could get with RTX 3070 and Ryzen7 5800H. And yes, it is 1TB equipped.
@@nevencuca1680 Great attention to detail!!! I want to upgrade mine to 64GB but want to make sure it can support that amount before I shell out the big bux for the extra memory.
@@tastybrownie7448 hey… there is someone on Reddit who did upgrade to 64 Samsung RAM that works and describes the whole process..
Still the official service even after contacting Lenovo claims they only support 32. So I’ll have to wait until the warranty expires to make the 64 upgrade.
(Unless I get rich before)
But now I will just do the 16+. It works just fine with 16 except when I open some 3d video compositing
Thank you, you helped my finding out how to open the device. Looks like you had luck with the Wifi card and got a Intel AX200. I got a Realtek one with serious latency issues and replaced it with a Intel AX210.
if i had the 512gb model, does it work if i add another 512gb ssd to make it 1tb? or should i buy the 1tb ssd instead.
Then you have 2x 512 GB. It will work.
Can you link the RAM you used for the upgrade?
So can am amateur do this? Just got the legion 5 pro but ive never really changed hardware on a laptop before so feeling worried about ruining my brand new laptop
Its a bit tricky to get the cover off, but once you got to that point you are pretty safe to go. Just be carefully when taking the cover off.
And dont forget to disconnect the battery first, I forgot that too.
You got this, we were all amateurs at some point. Just watch a youtube video, ground yourself, don't touch the copper pins, and disconnect the battery and you'll be all good
Hello, since you have opened it; is the battery easy to remove? Does the laptop work without battery?
Why would you even want that?
Hello thanks! Do you think 1.35v ram stick like crucial 3200 cl16 will be compatible?
Hi, nice jobs !
Q: is the warranty always preserved?
As far as I know, warranty is still available as long as you don’t destroy some components in the process of upgrading. So changing RAM or adding a second SSD does not affect your warranty.
I just can’t get the back cover off without totally scratching that thing
Terrible design by lenovo
Yes it is kinda difficulty, but once you opened it, the next time it will go much easier.
Great video! How does the device feel? I've seen the last year's legions had a lot of hinge issues and other quality control issues. How are the temps while gaming?
Its a great design, very stable. I also own a Legion Y540, and compared to this that the Legion 5 Pro seems much more stable and higher quality. It you want to I can shoot a video comparing these two devices.
@@techthinkable4610 That’s good news haha. I’d be more interested in seeing a Legion 5 Pro performance video showcasing fps and thermals in games.
@@KenZer009 alright, performance video is coming!
@@techthinkable4610 I'd sure love to see a build quality comparison video! :D
@@techthinkable4610 Perfect! Looking forward to it!
Um... Does this laptop can support 2TB nvme installed into it?
Yes it can.
@@techthinkable4610 thx
Please disconnect the battery before touching the mother board. All it takes is one mis contact and your board can fry up. Also use some anti static electricity gloves to protect chipsets.
Song?
I backed out planning to do this by myself when I saw those fragile plastic locks.
Hello 2x16gb Crucial ct16g4sfra32a.m16frs or 2x16gb Patriot PSD416G32002S for dual channel?
Sir, can you tell us what is your laptop "Model No." for this Legion 5 Pro?
Thank you for this video. Planning to get it soon to replace my ageing Razer Blade Stealth of 5 years. Now I can easily upgrade the ram and drive in future
No problem, you will love it. Its such a nice notebook.
will upgrading my ssd delete my old data? and did you remove your old storage card and added a new one?
Price ?
where did u get your screwdriver? i don't have any of that size to open my laptop please
Amazon, Ebay etc.
I would suggest everytime you do an upgrade, dont forget to unplug the battery first.
So it has a second M.2 slot for upgrades?
Does it have the screw there or do I need to buy one? Or do they come with the M.2 drives?
Yes it has a second NVMe slot as shown in the video. No, the screw for that slot is already there.
@@techthinkable4610 thanks mate, just ordered mine today :)
Nice video! Thank you!
Did you consider to buy Legion 7 (2021) instead of 5 Pro? After compare both machines just the Pantone option on its panel seems interesting to me but not enough so I'll probably buy Legion 5 Pro too.
I also took a look at the Legion 7 but I dont think it is worth to pay more for the 7. I really like the 5 Pro and would recommend it to everybody.
I have a legion 5 pro, how is the kingston FURY Impact, 32GB DDR4, 3200MHz CL20, Dual Channel Kit?? cost 200$
Why did Lenovo require you to dismantle halve of the laptop just to replace RAM?
is the laptop use PCIe 4.0 SSD?
No, just PCIe 3.0
@@techthinkable4610 But is it possible to upgrade to PCIE gen 4? I'm planning to use Samsung 980 pro. Will it work?
can i add a SSD M.2 980 PRO 2TB PCIe NVMe Gen4 (Samsung). I have the very exact same laptop.
Человек видимо не знает что батарею нужно отключать!
ему пи3дец повезло!
thank you
wow the panel so C L E A N and beautiful layout right there OMG
I just snapped the plastic piece in half when taking the back off
Fucking terrible build quality
On the website, they say it can only be up to 1TB, is it different models?
I know that some people installed 2TB NVME SSD, so you could go with 2x 2TB NVME if you want to.
@@techthinkable4610 pcle 3 or 4 ... I am thinking of going with WD 2tb nvme or should I go with Samsung 2tb nvme ? Which is better ? Both claim 5 years warranty.
can you setup to raid 0
i have this laptop legion 5 pro only 3050 and 16gb ram tho will it work with mine as well?
hello, wich version of the legion 5 pro is this?
Because i have the 16ah6h and the lenovo forum said me i can only fit a 2242 ssd 512gb in the second ssd slot, but you have a 2280 1Tb so in wonder wich version you have or if the forum gave me wrong information.
Hi, i have the 16ACH16 model. I don‘t think that they would change the layout of ssd formfactors in the different models. So I am pretty sure 2280 will fit in every model.
so annoying without to watch this video without any sound...skipped it to different one
u think it's better to get an ssd with a cooler attached or it's fine a simply ssd ?
Can you add a 4Tb nvme to a legion 5 pro that has a 1tb already in it? Or it has to be a 1Tb
so stupid.why you did not swich off battery first?befor remove ram and ssd?
I don’t want to hear music . How about talking and explaining ?
Wollte mir den auch holen, ist aber überall ausverkauft 😭
Can I have a link for the ssd please
My back plate was extremely tightly fixed, couldn't get anything underneath to pry the pins, even a razor blade was too thick! Must have been about 0.2mm clearance!
Did you get it open? I cant get anything under it
@@wesjellema5360 yes, be careful about the fan vents on the side.
Holy shit get a suction cup to get the bottom lid off, this way you dont scratch the sides and dont need several minutes just to remove it. Watching this was hurtful.
Then do it better if you can :) Good luck opening that device! I also scratched nothing with that plastic tool.
hello friend, is it possible to upgrade the rtx3060 for a 3070 in this model?
No, sorry.
Did you upgrade the RAM buying a new SAMSUNG RAM or was that just the stock RAM included?
I upgraded the RAM to some CL18 3200MHZ 2x16GB Kit.
Just got mine, the only sad thing is mandatory win11..
I need the type of screwdriver or its name required for this process please
Hay i have a question
Will there be a big price difference if i buy lap with slow spencs and update it,
Then buying with maxed out specs can someone tell ?
Sorry for a late reply but yeah the ram provided by lenovo is slow so its better to get the min. Ram version and then get new ram sticks and u can also get a better ssd by urself.
Unplug battery first..
can you give me the link of the ram
А батарею перед апгрейдом не нужно отключать?🤔🙄
желательно
Where is RAM upgrade ??
First of all disconnect battery!!!
Thank you for this video.
I hope to get on very soon (if they are ever in stock at stores.
I LOVED the video!
I subscribed!
Keep up the great work!
YOU ROCK!
hi i was wondering which ssd and memory did u put in?
Can’t find WD Sn730 to buy apart from on eBay (reluctant to buy from there), is it the same as WD sn750 black?
@Confused Goku I think that the SN730 is a OEM part for many big companies like Lenovo, so you cant buy them simply on ebay. But a SN750 will work fine too.
its easy and effective
thanks for video

How much bro laptop price canada
is this the Lenovo Legion 5 Pro 16ACH6H?
do You know that every legion 5 pro can be uprage to 32gb of ram? on website lenovo specs is up to 16GB
Yes that should work.
the "up to 16" means that is what they offer from Lenovo's site. The processor can support up to 64GB of RAM. Even the 2020 Legion 5 can go up to 64
Thank you guy, you helped me to know if legion 5 pro has the second slot for SSD.
It's not hard to upgrade ram and SSD , many thanks to your contribute.
you have 1rx8 ram mine is 1rx16 wtf!
Lenevo is forcing me to use i5 6200U, gtx 950 and ddr3 ram 🥲 by not launching this in India....
Surely that generation is ddr4?
@@TheKsharm No. 6th gen was ddr3 unless you got a gaming laptop with H series cpu. Do you think a dual core U series cpu at that time can take advantage of faster ram ? Mine was a pro book so ddr3 1600mhz. Only reason it had a gtx gpu was to run professional application but it played games well for about 2 yrs. After that it was all downhill. I still play rainbow six on this on 720p 50-60fps. Will get legion 5 Pro, Asus Zephyrus g15 whichever arrives first 😓
Believe or not 2 tb is not enough
hi whats the standard ssd in the legion 5 pro? I have one and i dont know if i can update the ssd or not?
I want to upgrade becuase i think it would be better for videoediting.
How is the 16:10 Aspect Ratio? Any issues watching movies or games?
New games scale without problem. I dont watch movies on the notebook so I cant comment on that.
Thumbs up on video - next time maybe use an overhead camera and no music ;)
Yeah I know, some say with music, some say without music...
Can you please do thermal paste change video for this with Kryonaut, the place where I'm in is always seething hot, only way for laptops like these to survive is to play less demanding games most of the year and those little and very desirable winter seasons
Yes, I plan on doing that, but I have to check the warranty regulations before. I dont want to loose my upgraded 4 year warranty because of that.
