Make sure you download the notebook version instead of desktop version of driver

Hey guys, lenovo y400 user reporting for duty here
But when i tried play LoL in this laptop, got sudden lag spikes sometimes like when skilling, or even opening the shop tab. :/ any tips?

Hi guys, I just wanted to ask where to get the Y480? Not many sellers at LYP and Digital Mall have it.

try check at LYN garage sales... there are some sellers that may still sell em... i believe many already switched to Y400

I believe the throttle temp comes from the CPU itself... not Lenovo...

If you still having trouble with the correct version for Notebook, try uninstall current drivers first and restart your system... I think I used to have this kind of problem with my desktop before and restart does fix it...

every cpu will also do the same thing

i did,i download the notebook version..but still..cant update =/

Hello guys, proud Y480 user here. Can TS add my name to the list?

Bought this rig for RM2479 @4GB FreeDOS (11 Aug 2012).
Upgraded to 8GB, original Win 7 Pro x64 and Mushkin Atlas mSATA SSD 240GB few months ago, shipped from US.
Mainly used for work, anime and games.

WEI:


Restart time:


Atto Benchmark:

http://ark.intel.com/products/71459/Intel-...3_40-GHz?q=3630

The Intel specified thermal throttling temperature for a Core i7-3630QM is 105C. Any throttling before the CPU reaches this temperature has nothing to do with Intel.

98C is a high temperature but it is still within the Intel spec.

Make sure the ThrottleStop Set Multiplier is set to Turbo to get maximum performance out of your CPU.

yeah, you're right... it's from Lenovo... after reading here and there, the limit looks like can be adjusted from BIOS... probably already hardcoded by Lenovo?

and this suddenly reminds me why my BF3 crashed, I remembers the temp is more than 100'C (104'C iinm) and now I wonder how come BF3 used a lot of CPU resources...

What software you used to time the restart time?

Well in 105'c I'm sure almost all the lappy will ady auto shut down
What Intel state the highest temp does not mean that u can reach on that level

Anyone resized your partition and Windows 8 having problem on logging in? How do you resolve that if you did?

** OKR definitely won't work anymore, another issue :/

Any Y580 users playing Sleeping Dogs? When you guys run the in game benchmark, does it show running on Intel Hd4000 instead of GTX660M? Mine does though. However, under the Nvidia GPU usage it states that they are running Sleeping Dogs. Confusing...

I think Ur y580 show the intel as the primary,but gaming usually it runs on nvidia..this is wat i think..like lets say im using my y480 play some graphic intensive game on battery..i guess it use intel all the time as to save battery..Its my point of view =/ just telling/

I'm sure Sleeping Dogs is running under GTX660M.
Don't think so Intel HD4000 can handle such graphic intensive game.

Im saying that the gtx does the job =.= impossible it would be intel..as intel would have been lagging all the way...

Well just a simple vbscript, created by guys from Sevenforums website. You can get the script here: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/720-restart-time.html.

Also, as stated from the page above, you guys can post your restart time there, for fun. Here's the link (registration is needed).

Thanks, my time same with you... guess this is the limit on Win7...
