1. The lounge is for the CodeProject community to discuss things of interest to the community, and as a place for the whole community to participate. It is, first and foremost, a respectful meeting and discussion area for those wishing to discuss the life of a Software developer.
The #1 rule is: Be respectful of others, of the site, and of the community as a whole.
2. Technical discussions are welcome, but if you need specific programming question answered please use Quick Answers[^], or to discussion your programming problem in depth use the programming forums[^]. We encourage technical discussion, but this is a general discussion forum, not a programming Q&A forum. Posts will be moved or deleted if they fit better elsewhere.
3. No sys-admin, networking, "how do I setup XYZ" questions. For those use the SysAdmin[^] or Hardware and Devices[^] forums.
4. No politics (including enviro-politics[^]), no sex, no religion. This is a community for software development. There are plenty of other sites that are far more appropriate for these discussions.
5. Nothing Not Safe For Work, nothing you would not want your wife/husband, your girlfriend/boyfriend, your mother or your kid sister seeing on your screen.
6. Any personal attacks, any spam, any advertising, any trolling, or any abuse of the rules will result in your account being removed.
7. Not everyone's first language is English. Be understanding.
Please respect the community and respect each other. We are of many cultures so remember that. Don't assume others understand you are joking, don't belittle anyone for taking offense or being thin skinned.
We are a community for software developers. Leave the egos at the door.

When I bought my laptop and brought it home it was acting funny. The CPU was getting hot and the thing was stuttering. I thought it was a bad thermal coupling between my CPU and its cooling system.
B&H Photo has the worst return policy I have ever seen, and they only let you know how horrible it is after you purchase. Caveat emptor.
So I was stuck potentially repairing this thing on warranty. They wanted me to ship it halfway around the country.
This laptop is never getting shipped anywhere again. So I looked up Lenovo authorized repair places in my area. Found 3 60 miles from me, each in the same city (Redmond, WA). I'd drive it.
In the meantime, I was tinkering. Finally, I did a factory wipe right as I was just about to abandon hope.
All of my problems since unboxing cleared up. I then undervolted the processor by 110mV and 100mV across the caches for good measure.
The lappy now runs benchmarks like Cinebench and TBench without redlining my CPU package, and it performs better than my newish desktop CPU (i9-13900HX vs i5-13600K) - they perform within spitting distance of each other, but I've got them both undervolted to run them a bit cooler (my desktop's 3rd p-core runs a little hot) and as a consequence they also run faster than stock.
Man this thing screams now. If you don't mind the hassle of getting it set up and you want a portable desktop these Lenovo Legion 7i Pros are monster machines.

I have a 13600K on my desktop and to avoid thermal throttling, which plagued my 2016 i5-6600 air cooled system, I went with a 280mm AIO for the CPU and 3 140mm fans for the mobo, RAM and GPU.
I still have to benchmark it but with the heaviest load I could saddle it with (Metro Exodus Ultra quality @1080) it never got over 53 °C, and that was before swapping the airflow fans on the radiator with proper static pressure ones. Now it's even quieter and never gets over 48°C.

You have plenty of headroom. I run undervolted to keep the temp on my 3rd core down. I hit high 90s running prime95 smallFFT tests at 100% utilization, but I'm on air. These chips are spec'd to handle 100C (or even slightly more as long as it is short spikes)
See what you get at 180W sustained.
The reason I went with an i5 instead of an i9 was I didn't want to liquid cool this chassis.

That is the name of the game for my build, bad choices in 2016 got me throttled, with little options to upgrade and a GPU that fried itself off due to an old style case. Adding all the fans my old case could support it became noisy so I went for 140mm and AIO to reduce noise as much as possible, and the i5 because for gaming it's virtually identical to an i7 but at half the price - I still coughed up north of 2000 euros for my build.

The 13th gen i7 of this tier is garbage. It's a 250W chip. So is the i9! Just get an i9!
I got the i5 you did because I wanted an air cooled system, and 180W was the max I was willing to go on air (a good call, considering 180W is what the i9 laptop CPU tops out at, and it's on air)
I think your cooling is a bit overkill, but heck, if it helps you sleep at night great. Your cooling is good for another 70 watts, so the i9 would be quite happy in your setup. The i5 doesn't need all that, but as you suggested, better to have it and not need it.

I went totally overboard...

...for this same exact reason . I was planning on getting something beefier if the price allowed it, and I can still change the CPU (which I know I won't but still).

I have to add, I cannot sing the praises of the i5-13600K enough. It is my favorite 13th gen chip.
Why? Performance per watt, and the fact that it's a sleeper chip. The i5 badge is a misnomer, since this thing handily benches in the i9 tier.
It reminds me of their old 6ghzable wolfdale core duo chips. The badge simply did not speak to the performance. The thing was a killer.
And so is this chip.

Makes you wonder just how much and what crapware was preloaded. After you reimaged did you download the Lenovo drivers?

I didn't do that. I went through the recovery option to bring it back to factory. With all of the stuff it came with. It shouldn't have fixed it, but it did.
I intend to replace the system drive today and I'm kind of freaked out by the prospect tbh.

Just reading this
[First 10 million members Part One](https://www.codeproject.com/Articles/637403/Looking-back-at-the-first-10-million-members-Part)
and saw
<o:p> in several places - what does it mean ?

Sorry, what? Quote: /ˌoʊˈpiː/ abbreviation for original poster: used on the internet to refer to the person who first started a conversation about something
So that's you, Pete.

Doesn't answer the question. Google search returns OP, which is Original Poster.
The question by OP was "What does <o:p> mean?"

It resembles the xml tags of office files...
Like <w:p> is a for paragraph in word... It maybe a copy/paster error...
