it's the Core IT. nearby pejabat pos kuantan. big orange lenovo signboard

Many thanks for sharing man
The values for the GPU score is pretty good yo

This make me worry

We'll see. We'll see...
Wish nvidia release an official driver soon.

wah... temp not that high... and please do furmark

WoW... This y500 SLi is the most scary laptop in market now...
I can't open my eyes if it upgrade to SSD...
I like it's cooling system...

Wonder if it got gtx SLi version?

Wow, temps seemed pretty good yo

So from what we have seen so far:
Y500 beat Y580
cool factor
temp
benchmark

Only thing left is the "flicker" mentioned earlier, and the driver.
Hand getting itchy

Thing is its not that much difference except for the better cooling and cool factor.

SLI is bad with games to begin with. Not many games can run at optimum performance with SLI

The Y500 user can plan to open one user discuss thread!!
Although the Y500 is great but I would choose Y400 if Y400 is release, just I got bring my Y480 to school almost all the time, Y580/Y500 for me is too bulky to bring....

Yes but not all the people who bought it is into gaming.

Sometimes is just for a sake of Benchmark.

Sorry guys I'm at work right now, I'll do a Furmark Test when I get home, finger cross it won't fry my GPU

Oh btw I ran GW2 last night at full graphic setting (with SLI), FPS appears to be around 30+

Based on your gpu-z, seems that Lenovo capped the gt650m graphic card in y500 compared to the one in y480.

Y480 GPU-Z


Y500 GT650M-GPU clock 790MHz, boost up to 835MHz
Y480 GT650M-GPU clock 745MHz, boost up to 885MHz.

But you can always overclocked it to higher clock speed btw.

Pls help to run & post screen for stress test below. Thanks in advance.
Pls monitor temp. closely with cpuz & gpuz.

Setup:
Pls state at room temp or with air cond, using any cooler.
1) Open cpuz , gpuz for on-board & gpuz for external gpu to monitor temp/gpus throttling.
2) Open Furmark & Prime95.
3) Post screen in step 1 & 2 before stress
4) run prime95 & Furmark at 1920x1080, 4X MSAA till the cpu & gpu max temp. stabilize. (take around 30 min)
5) post screen in step 1 & 2 after stress

Refer sample pic below for GTX680M SLI stress test

IMO, better not to run both Prime95 and Furmark simultaneously. You're killing the machine.
Just run Furmark, it will utilize 1 CPU core to resemble real world gaming.

The latest stress test for Y500 from China.
http://ideapad.it168.com/thread-2741978-1-1.html

Y500 i5/GT650M single card
Stress with Furmark & AIDA64 at room temp 20C, quite cool in China.
cpu 71C, gpu 65C, HDD 42C.


Very nice temp reading proven the good thermal design.

Waiting our pro bro the stress results.
Temp. will be higher as ours with higher specs and room temp.

Ok I've done a Furmark test with 1920x1080, 4X MSAA for 20 mins.

The CPU/GPU temperature starts to stables at 6 min mark and I let it run until 20 min before I took the screenshot.

Here is it.



Don't boom me if I done it wrong, first timer here

Edit:
- No laptop cooler/fan was used when the test is running, except the ceiling fan in my room running at 2x.
- GPU-Z is showing the primary GPU 650M profile while CPUID is showing both.

Thank you!!!

Edit: It seems that one of the GPU card hasn't been utilized...

i bought y500 too...
y500 seem feel more slimmer body look than y580(old design and bulky body)

btw,
i used cooler master notepal u2, any idea where to put those fans?anyone?

Many thanks.

Y500 stress temp is very promising.
External gpu temp before and after stress around the same at 38C.
Look like it only stress the on-board gpu. weird!

Can post display adapter in device manager as in pic.
Wish to confirm any Nvidia optimus support for Intel HD. Wonder how is the battery life?


Place it under the wire mesh ventilation area.
U3 is more suitable for Y500. u can add additional fans for u2.
