hi, i didn't run any benchmark test to check, and also i'm not a gamer, so don't really feel much difference. this is mainly a change of 8 gb at 1333MHz, to 8 gb at 1600MHz, so the difference would not be obvious unless really push the system to the limits.

Maybe others who have done the same can run some tests to tell us?
*
There is no user noticable difference between 1333mhz and 1600 or even 1800. Please dont buy into the the higher the speed the faster crap. Especially with ram. Dont bother to waste your money upgrading to those gaming rams. rclxub.gif

actually, 1333 vs 1600 still has it's difference one, higher ram clock rate definately will be faster than 1333. Just, how fast smile.gif
And since the spec already came with 1600 ady, u wont put 1333 inside isnt it?
What difference are we talking about here? There is no real world difference, 5% speed for that much extra money is not worth it unless for hardcore overclockers.

I am not sure if anyone have this same problem with me. (Y580)

The upper left part of the keyboard (near  #2, 3, 4 keys) are very loose, and creating some funny sound when you type on them.
*
Yeah that part of the keyboard tend to flex quite alot. No funny sounds though hmm.gif

Anybody did a clean install on y580? As in reformat the HDD and installing a fresh copy of windows and using the COA sticker product key. Will the key be accepted? Or the best way is to do recovery disk?

I've seen some cases that the key is rejected. hmm.gif

45c is pretty alright.. GTX660m has higher clock speed than GT650m, that's why the temp is a little bit higher. GPU nowadays usually can withstand up to 85c..

Edit: Actually, the temp can go above 85c to 100c. But it's bad and degrade the lifespan of the GPU.
*
But still at at original clock speed its around 50+c, i need to downclock to get temp to be at 45c. Strange as my previous GT650m can get 35c no problem. So was wondering whats your stock speed idle temp for the GTX660m

First when I install the game then first start the game, it still running with NVIDIA GPU(using latest BETA driver), our Kepler based GPU can choose TXAA(FPS 40+ - 60+)
after I shut down laptop, after lunch open it again, now it start to running with Intel GPU instead of NVIDIA GPU(FPS is damn lag, 9-10fps using back same setting)
My friend's laptop(GT540M with latest BETA driver) is working fine
*
Force it to run with nvidia, restart the game. Should be fine. Mine worked that way.
