Will it matter for gaming with the throttling Lenovo had on it? I know benchmarks and rendering will really push all the cores to the limit but I wasn't sure if it will affect gaming as well?

Did the memory down clock after you added 4 sticks? What ram did you use?
Some 12th gen seem to have a problem downclocking at higher capacity configs.

Honesty, I'm torn now. I found a competing option that I'm stuck on. It's a Lenovo Legion 7i with a 3070, 4 fans plus liquid 240mm AIO for $1148, however it's got 11th gen 11700 with ddr4. So its...

Interesting. Lenovo does the same on their IdeaCentre Gaming 5i, which I posted about in other threads. The same i7-12700 is limited to PL1 55W and PL2 187W (vs 65W and 200W per Intel). Even when...

I have a 10700 version of this with a 3070 and it cools very well.

How's the cooling on this?
Ideally would be 100-200 cheaper for these specs compared to other recent Lenovo IdeaCentre Gaming 5i and Dell XPS 8950 deals
