You used Lenovo power management to lower/tweak your CPU clock or other software?  hmm.gif Don't have free time lately but was planning to go extreme to max out CPU constantly @2.93Ghz w/ OC GPU to crack 3Dmark 06 score(somehow I can't use ATI Tool on my system, it just BSOD after I finished the installation  rclxub.gif )

yea i have same situation as you
it is my problem + keyboard problem
first.. since just bought a new lappy, dare not press keyboard so hard, this leads me to typing error sometimes.
and the keyboard too needs to be press with slightly more pressure

but now i am using it like a normal keyboard.. it seems working fine now, less typing error

but my ACPI temperature follows the temperature of CPU core if CPU hit 70C , then the ACPI also hit 70C

hey guys i saw china y460 version has a 3G broadband included in the notebook

i have checked my y460 , it does not have 3G modem integrated in the laptop

does your y460 has the 3G broadband?


how to check it :
you should see a sim card slot located somewhere near to intel wifi card
as shown in the picture below:

Might be a software/hardware problem rather than BIOS. If possible just call Lenovo and let them know the situation and see how would they suggest.
If it happens too often, I'll just call them but it's up to you.  smile.gif

is not happen to me .. y550 also has this problem

I just booked the Y460 and paid the deposit for the RM 3599 version. I was planning to get the SXPS 16 with ATI 5730 but I don't want to play the waiting game forever. Y460 is the only laptop readily available locally with ATI 5650. Other laptops like ASUS or 4820tg Acer are either out of stock or only have the ATI 5450 option.

I tried to find reviews of this laptop online but so far I can only find news listing about Y460. Thus I relied mostly on this forum thread to know more about this laptop. From what I gather, Y460 runs hot but if I use a laptop cooler, it should be fine. Will there be throttling issues like the SXPS when the cpu goes above 80C?

Lastly, I heard that dx11 games run faster than dx10. However a lot of times, I heard low to mid end cards like 5450 and 5650 are unable to use dx11 though on paper they can. I'm confused by these two seemingly contradictory statements. Could an expert enlighten me please? Thanks.

Y460 will not throtle the CPU speed even it is hot(more than 90C) , that's why it can produce a lot of heat when stressing

if you want your y460 to produce less heat, then you can manually throtle your cpu power, it definitely procduce less heat, but poorer performnace too.

you can either choose performnace or heat reduction, you can't have both

The tricky part is even it's working, does it work like what rapid drive does or just a normal HDD+SSD combo? Too bad not many resellers selling PCI-e mini SSD...if not, I might give it a try  tongue.gif

yap it works like the rapid drive. according to china y460 review biggrin.gif
but only compatible to the msata ssd if not mistaken ... sad.gif
http://cnc.ideapad.it168.com/viewthread.php?tid=601110

this is another china site i saw..
they swap the ssd from lenovo with rapid driver to non-rapid drive lenovo

http://bbs.5ichecker.com/viewthread.php?tid=22135
the socket used is msata O_O

Interesting... Seems like there are a few lucky owners on China. The TSI technology which they confirm is the rapid drive technology really amaze me as you can see the EE sticker doesn't have the rapid drive word rather than the TSI sticker. Anyhow, now we all know how rapid drive works(just mini SSD+HDD), maybe we can try to look for parts!! smile.gif

is mSATA SSD not mini SSD tongue.gif
