Teach?? We can share our experience if you like to smile.gif. Hmmm, if possible you can do your own observation of your laptop's temperature to see how efficient your temp would go. Mine at home, non air cond room, CPU min 39-41C, load 49-51C, max 66-68C(gaming). Monitor your temp does help you know that your laptop is working happily or sad/anger(heavy load lol...)

I do found out an answer(I guess...) why some people complaint about heat especially during gaming if you're in for hours. I've played AC 2 just now for 2 hours+ with max temp I checked it's just 72C on GPU-Z(ave. 68C). The problem lies on the material of the glossy surface which do hold the heat w/o spreading fast enough thru the other parts like heatsink and causes you felt uncomfortable using the keyboard for longer period especially FPS gaming. I do amaze the max temperature it hit smile.gif. Thanks to bro gstoh regarding tips on switching to super saver mode before you game and you'll see/feel the difference.

sorry bro may i kno how 2 check d temp?
i tried 2 play wit it bt stil not familiar....
o ya...i din use tis laptop for heavy use...
for tis moments js online & do paper works...
so far tis Y460 is a good catch for my side as i ad surveyed for months for all models

Welcome to the club!  rclxms.gif
I think the recent Y460s are already w/ the latest BIOS, so no need to flash. Mine manufactured @16th March and it's already on the latest BIOS version so you guys can use it as a guide.

@marky

I think you still can get the i5 430M, but you might have to go to LYP/DM to check with them to see whether stocks available.

mine also manufactured @ 16th March 2010...means i also nonit 2 flash the bios? rclxms.gif

You can use GPU-Z to monitor your graphic card's temp; HWMonitor and Everest for most of your hardware's temp. If possible, make it like a casual science project where temperature are recorded based on starting up, idle, load, long hours etc so you can know your lappy better  smile.gif .

Thanks bro..i wil do it on next week whn i outstation as in office i cant download thiings... mad.gif

Go search for the seller in garage sale (ahem, he's from T**ping). He quoted me RM3500 for Y460 + RM30 hassle-free postage to your door step.

This is a common scene in LYP whereby they'll know the stock availability of other shops and decide whether it's own price should remain/jack up/lower down. If you have an item which is hot selling and there's no stocks on other shops, I'm sure you'll jack it up too to make more profit  sweat.gif . The other way to avoid this would be order from shops and wait for the stock to arrive, as you let them know the SRP 1st and see how much discount they can give. If agree, pay the down payment and wait.

so till d end i bought from my fren..which i am willing to pay for the handling charges to him than to those that jack d price up...as he gav me a good price... rclxms.gif

Your case really brings me a lot of thoughts why your unit got sounds while others don't seem to have much trouble with it. I wish this time they will fix your problem for sure.

@fishysjj

Do burn those recovery DVD if possible as you might need it one day. Backup the drivers on Drive D: then you should be good to go smile.gif.
Btw, I'm playing with my new keyboard, Logitech Illuminated... Nice tongue.gif

i also wan to kno y my HDD got sound...bt d sound is sometimes got sometimes nop... rclxub.gif

Start->All Programs->Lenovo->Energy Management->Power management options. Click the small gear icon at the bottom right, then choose the 'Smart Control' tab and uncheck 'ALS (Ambient Light Sensor) Control'.
