what TDP are you running the legion go at
as the legion go and any replacement ssds are prone to overheating it
Im running on performance 20w
yeah the legion go cant really handle that properly iirc because its cooling is craptastic
put it at balanced
First few days i tried running it on custom but it really overheats then just today i moved it to performance
How about the fan?
i have it on auto tbh
might be that it overheats since you have it on manual and dont cool it properly when it needs it at 20W
ahhh so i should just disable it then?
okay so ill try that then though with dragon age veilguard does not work on balanced TDP it stutters
i conveniently bring my legion go with me to work
but try just have fan curve on auto so hhd handles it
and see if thats enough for 20W
but i kinda doubt it
even swapping the ssd can make the legion go overheat i heard as most replacement ssds get too hot
yeah thats true im using the WD sn7770m
so I had to buy a heatsink and some thermals just to cool it down
could be related as youre already stressing the cooling at that point
try auto is my only suggestion sadly
if that doesnt work then i guess last resort is to board the veilguard jet plane :clueless:
ahahahahah i knoww thank you though for the help im really new to this as i am not really familiar with tweakin an OS
i tend to just optimize for battery
yeah me too....
also between steam deck and legion go i still prefer legion go
i personally prefer the steam deck in terms of inputs and ergonomics
and i find the screen resolution on the go stupid
Don't lower the fan curve your fan curve is too low
You unchecked the enforce windows minimums button
Then went ahead and used a fan curve that's too low
And you complain of overheating
Also clean the fan
If your ambient is above 25c and the fan is not clean you will overheat even with the stock fan curve
actually the photo that you saw I did that just today before someone responded on this post.
but before that I was on windosws minimums and sticking to the custom TDP
Custom tdp 30w?
custom 25w
25w is borderline with the stock fan curve too
The legion go just doesn't have a powerful fan
It's unfortunate
If you want to not overheat increase the default fan curve
I tried doing that but it still overheats..
You clean the fan?
Compressed air works
Yes i did but still the same though right now putting it in balnced mode and disable manual fan curve is working
