Y580/480 heat distribution & recommended cooler



[color=blue]Y580 vs Y480 vs N56 interior thermal design.


According to Chinese site, Y580 has abnormal high HDD temperature due to thermal design problem where hardisk is located between the heat source CPU & GPU
HDD idle temp around 47C, it reached 63C during Furmark & Prime95 stress test.
Will it affect HDD lifespan as we may lost all the critical data?

Y580 with FULL copper heatsink but hardisk located between heat source CPU & GPU

HDD manufacturer stated operating temperature between 5c to 55C

Test results from Chinese site http://ideapad.it168.com/thread-2209355-1-1.html
Y580 with i5-3210M, GTX660M(GDDR5) at room temp 24C,
Under idle situation, CPU 55C, GTX660M 41C, HDD at 47C which is high

Under full stress with Prime95, FurMark, AIDA64 to stress HDD
CPU & GPU at 91C, HDD at 63C
This is an unnatural level of stress that is almost never achieved under normal circumstances (including heavy gaming)

If you place a new SSD in the HDD location and relocated HDD to DVD location and doing the above stress test
CPU & GPU at 91C, SSD at 47C and HDD temp down to 43C

with that money buy asus lamborghini net book & edifier s730 will be better...

Lol can that netbook handle games?

Apparently not

Nice information you have there bro~
According to notebookcheck's review on the N56 (Nvidia GT630M), the unit seemed to be rather hot as well...
In terms of bang for buck, the Lenovo would be better. You can still use the remaining money to opt for Lenovo's on-site warranty support

The situation on the Y580 is more or less similar to what I've been encountering on my M14x (apart from the high GPU temps, but its a GTX card, so its unsurprising). I guess that the temps can be controlled by switching to SSD entirely, and also disabling turboboost on the i7 processor, that should reduce the CPU to around 80C or so

lenovo more power

u better compare with N56VZ-S4079V which is more similar spec with y580

Y580 is very tempting with attractive price.
Just wonder how the engineer design it and placed the HDD between the heat source CPU & GPU.
Very worry about the HDD high temperature as it exceeded the maximum operating temperature. Scare it will dead anytime.

According to Notebookcheck stress test on DV6 with Furmark & Prime95. The HDD temperature only max at 38C but Y580 reached 63C.

This is good info! I might change my mind and go for the G55... What if I buy a good cooler like the Coolermaster X3 to use with the Y580? Will it reduce the temperature alot when playing battlefield 3?

Fully disassembly lol!

Added on June 18, 2012, 10:41 pmBF3 get G55 better. I heard G55 also have heat issues. The paste btw the heatsink and processor surface are not contact properly. After one of the user repaste it. The temp from 85+ dropped to 60+. Very good cooling system G55 had.

I read that although G55 has dual exhaust but one of them is dummy. Is that true?

interesting...
does that mean the dvd is removed or there's space near dvd location?

The cooler sure help, better open the back cover when gaming. You can also relocate the HDD to the DVD drive as its cooler there.

HDD die can be replaced, but data lost will

DVD is removed and replaced by HDD. Its cooler at DVD location.

dun think so... just that 1 has to work harder

what does that mean?

any picture of the inside of G55?

If hdd die. Keep claim warranty till Y590 came out, replace it to me lol

1 for cpu 1 for gpu... 2 wont dissipate the same amount of heat... therefore a slight diff in temp nearby each vent...

youtube la... hayor.. so lz

Forward to 19:40.

"Part of it on the right side is just.. for look"

don't think anyone would risk losing data.



oh wow, kepler based laptops are getting less and less impressive by the day. I hope we can get some real reviews soon enough for these gtx660m/gt650m models especially regarding the heat issues and quality control.

woah... no more dvd drive then O.O but i think that's fine
