If this is a home laptop, then why didn't you buy a gaming series, the same Legion 5 Pro or Asus Strix 17.3? With a much more comfortable full-fledged keyboard, a larger and better screen, a much more powerful discrete card and a much more powerful cooling system?
<=14" are usually taken by those who assume that they will leave the house with it quite often. For use only at home, 14" stumps are usually not taken by adequate people.
Quote from: Marcos8 on November 12, 2023, 15:48:41The weight and dimensions are important because I also use the PC for work so I carry it around.

Quote from: Marcos8 on November 11, 2023, 00:41:15For example in the review of radeon 780m diablo 4 on 1920x1080 with medium details go on 43 fps, while with the same settings I only get 25 fps with fsr2 enabled.You need to make sure that your versions of drivers, their settings, and system settings match all of this from the author of the review. You must also have dual-channel memory 8+8/16+16 or 32+32. In all other cases, igpu performance will be sharply lower.

The problem is not in the processor, processors other than obvious defects cannot be burned for a long time unless you overclock them - they have built-in protection circuits, including automatic throttling based on temperature and consumption.
The problem is in the power harness on the motherboard - this is where the root of all problems lies. How high-quality are the mosfets, how high-quality are the solid-state capacitors on the board, how high-quality are the tracks made and etched - because everywhere there are monstrous currents of tens, and sometimes hundreds of Amps with a crystal voltage of only 1V or less.
It is the quality of the power wiring (number of power phases, quality of components) that distinguishes different motherboards.
This laptop is basically not designed for heavy loads from the start. If the components are not of very high quality (most likely), then it will not last long under intense load.
If you want to play, don't do nonsense. Build a gaming PC at home that will be as quiet as possible, or buy a "gaming" laptop with at least a 2-year warranty. Well, or PS5.

QuoteUnder the Ryzen 7 7840U, the limits are now significantly lower at 30/25 watts, which has an extremely positive effect on fan activity. This doesn't kick in at all in everyday use and under full load it takes around a minute before you even hear the fan.
