Quote from romano123 View quoted comment :
I'll never buy another Lenovo computer ever again. I bought a Lenovo legion gaming desktop at Costco 2 years ago. Since I upgraded the video card a year ago, my sound went out. Had to install the old one back. Still using the original.
Also, computer locks up daily. I have to reboot at least once a day.
Even when it was under warranty Lenovo did nothing to fix it. They said video card manufacturer knows about the issue and they are working on a fix, but Geforce said they know nothing about it.
Sounds like you should take it upon yourself to attempt to resolve the issue.

Go on Lenovo's support page and grab the latest BIOS update available for the system.

If there are any critical driver updates aside from the graphics card driver, grab those as well.

For the graphics card, you should always get the driver from AMD, Intel, or Nvidia. Never install the one suggested by Windows Update. If you haven't done it in a while, choose the option for a clean install if the installer provides it.

Now, the locking up could be a multitude of things. There are tools to check the integrity of the operating system as well as the health of your drive. Usually thermal issues result in reduced performance before reaching a critical point where the system will just shut down (you might be confusing that for "locking up").

You say you upgraded your video card, but are you sure the power supply could handle it? And when you reinstalled the previous one, did you make sure to reconnect any auxiliary power connections?

As far as the sound going out, that's likely very dependent on the video card drivers if you aren't using the onboard sound. If you're using the onboard sound, reinstall those drivers and make sure the appropriate output is selected in Windows.

Crazy that i and many others got that msi desktop with the 4060 for $699 around christmas…
You mean the one with an i5 12th gen and 16GB of RAM?

Obviously lower specs should cost less.

The 4070 Ti is also quite a step up from the 4060 if you're looking at gaming above 1080P. And at 1080P, it allows you to make no concessions with the graphics settings.

Yeah, that's not a warranty. That's a return policy.

A warranty claim assumes you actually want to keep the system.
This is what you said:

Quote from wherestheanykey View quoted comment :
Moreover, Costco does reserve the right to cover the system under warranty rather than just doing a straight return.
and then:

Quote from wherestheanykey View quoted comment :
Although it shouldn't be condoned, the 90 day return policy can be used on a fully working system.
These are your words. I was clarifying that no, they won't force you to go through warranty, you can def just return it if you are still in return period. And that you can return regardless of condition of the PC, brand new or completely broken.

Are we having the same conversation here?

The 90 day return policy is something you brought up, but not what was originally being discussed. To which I replied that returning it within 90 days isn't a warranty.



What I was originally responding to is the fact that Costco's 2 year warranty isn't always a guaranteed return.



This is straight from their page:


"Costco reserves the right to fulfill the second-year warranty obligation through, at Costco's choosing, repair, replacement, or a refund up to the purchase price."

In fact, only states with no sales tax, such as Delaware, will receive it tax free. Comments like that guy's make me lol. It isn't 2015 anymore.
This is B&H, if you use their store credit card they pay the tax. Which is probably why he said it. And why a lot of us buy a lot of stuff from B&H.

Typically these are hobbled by proprietary motherboards and power supplies that prevent upgrades.
If your happy with that buy on, otherwise get a iBuypower unit that allows upgrades.
My bad, I made a mistake.
My cousins ibuypower build came with proprietary fans and fan header that went out after a year lol. I had to replace all his sweet rgbs with boring white fans I had on hand because of that.

Are you sure it wasn't just a header for addressable RGB?

Probably not worth it now, but they do have extremely cheap adapters to convert them to regular fans.

At the same time, there's breakout boards that let you power multiple fans off of one header. If the header just went bad, this would allow you to piggyback off a different one.

Two front fans were struggling to spin while the third front and exhaust were ok. He would have to use his finger to apply force to get them to spin. I looked up his particular fan model for his build and read complaints that they were indeed proprietary and me replacing it with a $8 header was the fastest and cheapest method. He can still have rgbs if he wants to swapem out later but I just didn't have any on hand.

Yeah. Every single warranty has that in their T & C's. It is never a "guaranteed return" (refund is the correct terminology anyway). The way you phrased it, you made it sound like Costco would not accept a return, and would instead force you to use their warranty, even during the return period. Like I already mentioned, it was a clarification for others who may have read your comment the same way.

Having a warranty claim and them not being able to fix or replace it so they refund you is not a "return", so that was just an unfortunate choice of words (if that is really what you meant).

Quote from wherestheanykey View quoted comment :
The convenience of returning things to Costco is nice, but you have to accept that you're getting a lesser system overall.

Moreover, Costco does reserve the right to cover the system under warranty rather than just doing a straight return.
As you can see from the actual comment trail and not "what you meant to say but didn't", the original commenter you replied to brought up return policies and how easy Costco's was, then you said what you said about returns. I did not bring them up, I was simply clarifying for others since your comment was wrong based on the "actual" comment chain.

Cheers!

I opted for this upgraded model over the one in this thread. $450 gets i9-13900kf vs. i7-13700kf and 4080 vs 4070 ti. That literally appears to be the only difference. MB, AIO, power supply, all appear to be identical.

Side by side comparison: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/co...786706-REG

I only buy primary systems every 7-10 years (current main system is a 2015 Dell XPS 8900 with i7-6700K and GTX 970), so I figured the upgraded model was worth the $450 difference since I plan to use it without modificaton or upgrade for the next decade or so.

Do users just have auto alerts to come and say uneducated stuff about pre-builts? Lenovo Legion uses standard ATX and there are YouTubes about how to upgrade the power supply, like the one below:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=17hN3uOXVaw
Probably. Reading the same exact thing on the xps machine... This isn't the 90s anymore. I put my last XPS machine in a NZXT case, upgraded the power supply for an upgraded video card. Upgraded memory. Filled the sata ports and it's a server today.

Also, B&H photo is wrong on max memory. This PC will support 128GB. May not need it today, but it's nice to know for future proofing.

This is one of the only prebuilts using the Z790 chipset(top tier) and a K suffixed CPU(unlocked). This means the chipset and CPU are paired for good overclocking. I don't know if Lenovo restricts overclocking via bios, but I wouldn't see why they would use a K processor if they did.

Yeah, having followed prebuilt deals in discussions here, on various subreddits and discord channels, I'm not quite sure why this and certain other *CURRENT* prebuilts get the vitriol they do. They are increasingly using nonproprietary parts and the gap in cost between "build your own" and "off the shelf" seemingly diminishes with every generation.

I get building your own if you enjoy it, have the time, enjoy tweaking, have ready and easy access to components, etc., but for many people who don't, paying what amounts to a $50-150 premium for a tested, warranteed system is certainly worth it IMO.

Twenty years ago, I built my PC systems from scratch, including a dual-Opteron rig for folding (if only I had stuck with it and gotten into bitcoin mining on the ground floor...) but back then I had the time and inclination to keep up with things and spend the time researching, building, testing, etc. Now I just need the sh*t to work. My interests and lifestyle are different now.

Really the only complaint I've seen about this generation of Legion Tower (either this T7 build or the upgraded 7i build) was the limited RAM speed, which has been fixed via BIOS update for almost a year now.

My 7i system is scheduled to be delivered tomorrow. We'll see if reality matches my optimism...

EDIT: If you want to stretch further, Lenovo has this with the 14th gen i9-14900KF, 4080 Super, and 2TB instead of 1TB SSD for a bit more ($2469 + tax):

https://www.lenovo.com/us/en/p/de...90v6000mus

Too rich for my blood given the incremental performance increase IMO, as once you add the 3-year warranty I got with my config and sales tax, it comes out to $2750 which is $562 more out the door than the 13th gen config.

Spec creep, it's a thing.
