If degrading your entire system to USB2 speeds is unacceptable: I wrote a kernel patch that can override the polling rate under the xHCI driver, but never upstreamed it because of reasons. I haven't tested it since last year (because even I find it too much hassle to compile my own kernel to solve this problem) so I don't know if it still works, but I suppose you can try it if you're really desperate.

The program allows to: - configure fan curve - overclock cpu/gpu - limit battery charge level - enable/disable rapid charging - enable/disable win key - enable/disable touchpad - enable/disable FnLock - other

If you want fan control other and other stuff on Linux, you can use my tool https://github.com/johnfanv2/LenovoLegionLinux . I think the embedded controller (firmware) has changed from the 2022 models (=Gen 7) to the 2023 models (=Gen 8).

You do not need Windows and Vantage anymore. I developed a Vantage alternative for Linux to change for fan speeds, power mode, power limits etc. https://github.com/johnfanv2/LenovoLegionLinux. It comes with a GUI tool and a driver for the laptop.

LenovoLegionLinux (tweaking the fan curve)

If you have concerns that anything might influence your fan control in Windows, get a clean system by booting to Linux from a USB live system (https://ubuntu.com/tutorials/try-ubuntu-before-you-install#1-getting-started ) - no installation required. Then add my Linux tool for fan control, power mode etc. https://github.com/johnfanv2/LenovoLegionLinux and try to change the fan curve. If this works, you definitely know that it works and there is some problem with either your background tasks or that your model is not (properly) supported by LegionFanControl.

Cooling is controlled by the embedded controller in the hardware. So it just works. In Windows you have tools like LegionToolkit or LegionFanControl, to change settings of it, i.e. setting the fan curves or changing power mode. I Linux you could use my tool Lenovo Legion Linux support (https://github.com/johnfanv2/LenovoLegionLinux ) to do the same.

There's a linux alternative you can try out. https://github.com/johnfanv2/LenovoLegionLinux

You can also check if the BIOS version (only the leading letters are important) is already in the list of compatible models of my tool and kernel driver for fan control, temperatures, power mode etc.: https://github.com/johnfanv2/LenovoLegionLinux
