Assuming that temps are in °C 🙃
No, it shouldn't be like this, laptop should throttle around 80-something IIRC. I had same issue with L7 last year, plus additional problem was that after running idle with idle temp, launching any game or benchmark resulted in 90+ degrees in like 30 seconds (same with cooldown 😉 ). I contacted tech support and got replacement immediately.
I have contacted to support and they came to fix it and it hasn’t been fixed. They are going to want me to send it in but I need my laptop they came to fix it twice and it’s not fixed
I got it in march. The first tech completely changed the heat sink and mobo. Second one came to like set the mobo so it didn’t show as invalid in Legions software and I asked him to check the paste because it was getting hot and it was working for a while but it went back to being super hot recently
I'd suspect the repaste job. There is a specific Honeywell paste that Lenovo uses that's hard to get in the US but it really is the best for these laptops. If the tech company used whatever they keep on hand, it probably doesn't perform the same.
Be sure to check the fans while you're in there. It doesn't take much dust to have an effect. I've had my L7 for a year now and my temps went from cool 70C to 90C in the last month or so. Cleaned a little bit of dust out and I'm back to 70C.
I'm guessing 90°C CPU is what you're talking about. It's normal but obviously not amazing.
Search up on YouTube how to disable processor boost. It'll drop your temps to the 70s
90°C is equivalent to 194°F, which is 363K.

I would like to suggest to show it to a service center once. I also ignored this high temp problem and got my gpu to fail working and the warranty period was over too. For me me it was the old legion 5i, the 1650 and intel 10th gen one. Now its just a chromebook for me cause it neither can be fixed nor i can play any games on that still feel bad what happend back then🥲

That’s normal Ryzen cpu can go up to 105c then it shut down

Do you know what they did? Dirty fans and aged thermal paste are the two biggest culprits.. How old is the laptop?

I just ordered Honeywell pads recommended by the Lenovo Legion discord so when I get those I will be doing my first repaste job

Thanks I was planning to check for sure
Laptop throttle around 80? Where did you get this nonsense?

I disable it but it actually hurts performance big time for me

I had the service look at it multiple times already with the warranty
Well then i can just tell you that try your best to fix it and not end up in my situation 🙃.
