This is some new age LTT YouTuber type of mindset that I don't agree with.

Processors run hot. Much like a combustion engine, that's literally how they function.

Relatively speaking, some processors expend more energy than others, but as long as it's within tolerance, it's doing what it's designed to do.

You can speak to preference when it comes to things like noise, but there's nothing technically wrong with this system. It's not an HP, where poor thermal design choices cause thermal throttling. If you want a more power efficient system, don't buy a processor that's one step down from what they use in high end workstations and servers.

If purchasing at MSRP, maybe the water cooling would be justifiable for what it cost. But when it's on sale? Not so much. You're almost getting these components at cost. If you want liquid cooling, add it.

Also, as far as fans go, the bearings are rated for a runtime at a constant speed. You're actually wearing them out faster when you have a fan curve applied and they're regularly changing velocity. This is one reason a lot of servers don't bother with PWM fans.

The 4070 TI Super has 16gb vram and will be relevant much longer than the 4070 Super with only 12GB. 16gb is essentially the new minimum for modern games.

I'd stick with Ryzen CPUs though.

I got this at BF as well. The reviews about fans seem outdated, there must have been an update as others have said. Running great, fans are silent, I wear a noise canceling headset anyway.

how much more would this drop once the 50xx drops?
The 50xx is a theoretical platform at this point. "Paper" release. It may be over a year before there are decent supplies. Since there are no more 4 series being made, you should likely jump on this if you want to game in the next 6-12 mo.

Reviews say the PC is quite loud. Anyone have recommendations on a quieter pc? Ok to sacrifice a little bit of specs
As others have stated this computer is not loud... I can not even hear it unless I start crunching on some serious video editing. I also can hear it when I game at 4k (if I take my headphones off).

Interested, a few people said the fans are quiet for this PC in the Black Friday purchase.well, I bought it to, the fans are so loud. I adjusted them to PWM and tuned the fan curve. However, it is still loud as soon as I installed software or do any video editing. I had to return it

I just bought a Lenovo Legion refurb from this eBay and it is the i9-14900, liquid cooled, and with a 4070 Ti Super. With the 8% off it comes out nearly the same as this one from CostCo and 2 year warranty as well. Perfect so far for me. https://www.ebay.com/itm/156425520900

I was just about to say the same. I looked up and down the listing, all I see is 4070 super. Although if you lookup the MPN 90V7003JUS it does show as a 4070 TI Super on Lenovo's website. But with this being refurb and all, who knows?

This is the exact same way it was listed when I bought, it's the model number of the lenovo, 90V6000KUS which takes you to the exact model on lenovo's site as the model (https://psref.lenovo.com/Detail/L...90V6000KUS). I took the chance knowing it said just 4070 super but it came in with the Ti Super. I think they just run out of characters on the listing and the GPU listing portion. Added pictures
Other hardware info, both are on amazon.

Mine arrived yesterday in good condition. A few initial observations after initial sett it up and playing less than one hour of Cyberpunk:

- It is loud, as many already noted. I have not yet updated bios, or adjusted fan settings. The mobo is MSI, different than the ASUS mobo that some people report who bought this model around thanksgiving.
- The build quality seems overall good. However, the single heatsink fan has a wobble, which concerns me.

I'll comment more after I spend the weekend enjoying it. Now, I just need to decide if I want to order the 49" Samsung 1000R lcd or the OLED for this system.

Which fans seem the loudest? The case or cpu/gpu?

Liquid cooling for what? I have a 14700k with a peerless assassin on it and I have to run the cpu at 100% to get the temp to the 70s.
