The Lenovo Legion Tower 5i Gen 8 has room for SATA drives and, on most boards, an M.2 SSD. The usual upgrade is an SSD for Windows and programs with the old drive kept for storage.
Price confirmed before work starts
Memory upgrade
The Lenovo Legion Tower 5i Gen 8 uses standard desktop memory. We check the board's limits and fit matched modules.
Overheating and fan repair
Overheating and noise are usually dust or a failing fan. We clean the system, replace what has failed and check temperatures under load.
Windows repair and reinstall
The Lenovo Legion Tower 5i Gen 8 shipped with Windows 11. We repair start-up faults, reinstall Windows cleanly with your files kept, and remove malware.
Graphics repair
We diagnose and replace failed graphics cards, and check that the power supply and case can take the card you want before an upgrade.
We also carry out motherboard repair, virus removal on the Lenovo Legion Tower 5i Gen 8, along with no-picture and no-boot diagnosis, port repair, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth card replacement and data transfer to a new PC.
What we see on the bench
- Dust build-up and failing cooler pumps are the usual causes of overheating.
- Legion Tower and IdeaCentre Gaming desktops take standard graphics cards, but power supply capacity needs checking before an upgrade.
