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  .

P/S: I've updated the OC score on the 1st page so feel free to comment.

how bout warranty and free gifts and card payment? what if the laptop came faulty? i know it's a lot of questions at one time but enlighten me. =)

hi . . . i having the same problem as mie 131085 it seem like my GPU in idle mode is 100/150 and 300/300 at load. and i wondering where can i download the latest GPU driver for this laptop. thx

@Mie131085

The temp on your laptop does look good but somehow I'm a bit curious why your GPU clock is lower than usual... it should be 450/800 idle and 550/800 load.

If you have a screenshot on GPU-Z showing the HD 5650 info, that will let us know more .

Hmm~~~

Anybody having issue with this machine?
Tonight gonna hardcore gaming with this machine. The screen back side a bit 'lembik' compare to current Y530. lolz

I believed that most of the heat problems which generated by users are found to be the software's fault, which is the default OS where bloatwares came with it in the 1st place. I've checked the task manager and found more than 80 processes running and while I was just browsing the features, the heat just generated, in a rather fast manner. With the new OS that I have now, having the same drivers and getting some software which I needed, I'm only getting normal laptop heat, 60-65 processes running(and I haven't go to msconfig to shut off the useless ones) and switching between ATI/Intel doesn't make a lot of difference. Lowest temp I got on it was 33C, normal usage using Intel GMA was 36-38C with browsing net and installing software. I hope this should clear out some of your minds and I'll continue my testing tomorrow. Thank you for reading

Yup its fragile alright. The best would be Y530, kinda hard...Something like Think series case. lolz
Normal, heat issue on GPU or CPU?

I tried Y550 & Y530, both also high temperature for the GPU. The Y530 temp for GPU max was 89C and 90C for Y550. Sighs.

Err~~ i have some question... If i want to format y460 laptop~~ can i download back all the driver from website? Does lenovo provide any win7 cd key ?

Not bad for this spec...Today will test new arrived Z460. Integrated graphic, sighs.

see this attachment for z460... Now only having V460. Don't know the performance. Need good software to try.

Lenovo Y460, update bios

Which BIOS problem are you referring to?  Sign of the issue?

Thanks for informing.

UPDATED.

Thanks unknownhammie for informing us about the new BIOS ver . Did flash mine last night too and I'm surprised to find that the ATI GC kept maintaining @ 300/300(rather than 450/800) even my powerplay setting was the usual maximum performance. Idle temp on ATI GC is 52-53C while CPU is 49-50C, no changes when using Intel GMA. I'm not sure the old BIOS have this but there's an option there for you to choose between switchable graphics or discrete graphics at all time.

Aside from that, I'm keen to see Lenovo update the ATI GC's software, if possible, please include overdrive!! 

Mandatory to update BIOS for now thou. Can't force you guys but if you called and enquire, they will tell you to update your BIOS eventually.

So update now and try to play your games see whether it will face any issue or not. Else you could wait for other Forumer which already update to give feedback regarding this.

I've played game for >2 hours after I flashed. 300/300 because you want to lower your GPU load hence less heat. It'll switch to 450/800 if you're accessing browser and video/movies iirc then when you stop, it just falls back to 300/300. The game part is a bit skeptical as I only did once, the game lag or rather stop during gaming in 1st few minutes, then amazingly it went really smooth after that. Max temp recorded 73C, Ave 68.5C on GPU-Z.

Yup, previous manufactured model does not have this Technology. New model will have, can look at the machine if comes with this sticker. 

Hmm, aint sure. Perhaps you could read this article as curerntly Y460 that my fren use does not come with rapiddrive technology but it has the enchanced experienced sticker as well. Maybe can add the SSD and turn it into rapiddrive in future? not so sure

can u guys plz run either furmark or unigine heaven 2 bench to measure peak temps of cpu and gpu?
Not every owners like to test burn their new shiny toy but this will convince you on how HOT it'll get.
