Send to warranty, get replacement if can't resolve.
Down clock gpu memory to resolve issues is a waste for GDDR5.

U3
+ 3 fans fit 3 vents, better cooling, fit up to 15" more future proof
- less mobile
U2
+ more mobile
- 2 fans fit 3 vents, less cooling, not so fit for 15"

Get u3, save ur future upgrade for 15" laptop.

Waiting game is over. Y580 Full HD oledi landed in MY. Limited unit available in garage sales.

Just check realtek audio properties any digital output and any red light come out from headphone port as per Y470 below.
According to Y480/580 spec sheet, its headphone/spdif combo but not in manual.

Y470 headphone port is combo with SPDIF as in link HERE.

No noticeable different betw the 2 procs in normal use.
Yes, can swap HDD with SSD & put HDD in ODD bay with caddy without warranty void. use ODD as external drive.
Remember to swap it back to original when warranty claim.

Suggest to get the older model Y480 i7-3610QM, freeDOS spec below & selling around 23XX in garage sales if still available.

Else you can also consider new Y580 FHD spec below selling as low as 2800 in garage sale.
Y580 come with much better full HD screen, GTX660M, bigger 15" screen & numpad and better cooling is very worthy.
