you sure a hundred percent if you swap HDD somewhere else, the temps gonna be fine?


FYI

GE60 GDDR5 GT650, heat issue
Dv6-700x GDDR5 GT650, heat issue


the problem is not simply, 'where' the fan is. They are cramping heaving duty card in tight chassis, without sufficient airflow.

I am using GE60 with GTX 660M... However i dont feel any discomfort cause by heat after playing any graphically intensive game such as MW3 and BF3 after an extended period of time (>1 hour) especially if i use the turbo mode for the fan...even the part part around the keyboard and palmrest near the hdd isnt really too hot after that...

not sure about gtx660m, perhaps they hada fix? but it is positive for quite some users with the gt650m


keep on using though, and MW3 is not graphically intensive for a gtx660m. what reso are you using for BF3?

CPU or GPU will be throttled before the components fried.
Full copper heat sink are but need DIY on HDD temp.

G55VW cooling are but under stress test with Furmark & Prime95, CPU at 95C, GTX660M at 77C.
CPU also above 90C like Y580.

Under extreme stress test with Furmark, Prime95 & stress HDD with AIDA64, Chinese site manage to bring down the HDD temp from 63C to 43C by swapping HDD.
This is an unnatural level of stress that is almost never achieved under normal circumstances (including heavy gaming)

if you ask me ..yes, im okay with that
for the price lenovo is asking ... this is a value buy already
im using an old acer 4935G， idle arnd 70'c, under full load already 92~3'c
it still last me for 3 years without any problem, never changed the thermal paste or anything
just vacuum the opening and fan sometimes....

DV6's cooling are good , G55's cooling are good, dual fan's cooling are good
but value wise..i'll still choose the y580

I see. what about the temps of other component?

Throttling mean huge FPS drop in game.

There are few factors u need to consider before u comparing result from the chinese website like ambient temperature and proc. They use 35w Core i5 and Malaysian model use 45w Core i7.

Yeah the price is quite a bargain. If i'm still a heavy gamer i probably will get one too.

a question to acid_rulezz , is DV6's GPU on par or better than GTX660 after overclock??

Which DV6? 6000 or 7000 series?

the latest that is in or coming to m'sia shore =)

the one with GT650M GDDR5? It is basically a downclock version of GTX660M.

Thank you for alerting me . Info updated to reflect the Chinese site test environment with i5-3210M, GTX660M(GDDR5) at room temp 24c.

DV6-7038tx listed in HP malaysia driver site with spec
i7-3610QM, GT650M(GDDR5), FHD anti-glare, 8GB, 1TB(5400rpm), blue ray

Its seem GT650M can OC to GTX660M.

Seems possible. Some more already fitted with the GDDR5 version.

brace for heat. the Dv6-7k is well complaint over due to heat produced by the gddr5 choice.

Desktop no heat issues.

some nice feature for DV6-7038tx there....
full HD, anti glare, GT650 (yeah, even without OC the performance is not that far apart),quad speaker+woofer

hope its price will be competitive enough ...y580's specs and price makes every other brands seems overprice

i always play on 1080p...if possible i play all games on high setting if not ultra...

well, no point talking since the only mobile GPU that can max BF3 seamlessly is 7970m.

Y580 vs N56 thermal design. Who is the winner?
