dis link has tutorial to format to win7 but de article is in chinese
its include dl link of de win7 os also, between it say it does not require activate as it will automatically activate because of this thing call slic2.1  blink.gif any1 can explain what is dis slic2.1?
not sure working anot  hmm.gif
*
that one is Lenovo OEM ISO file, it ady preset the Lenovo OEM key into ISO so it will auto active once it match with Lenovo slic 2.1 cert in BIOS.
But I would strongly recommend u just download the original Win 7 iso and active it via using the product key back side ur laptop(and also need install driver urself), coz ur product key from u purchase until now still no active yet, it got chance to let other ppl active their windows by using that product key

It seems like the lenovo had set to throttle down the CPU speed to 2.4ghz after reaching 90C, attached is the testing using throttlestop to maintain the speed after 90C and max the CPU temp reach 98C without cooler.

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.

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

Finally, got my SSD but cant install fresh new copy of Win 8 Pro... due to the "Smartness" of LENOVO deciding to embed the product key in BIOS.

Tried many ways and finally... i just installed Win 7 Pro 64Bit. Doing some updates and etc. Will post up some benchmarking scores and etc.

Due to the i7 + GTX660

Yea, good for reformat, but must use Win8 SLV oni... else other Win8 cant install coz i get message: "This product key is not supported" and then the boot restarts... so cant enter the setup menu... Oni seven can install through boot by using "Legacy" settings in BIOS.

The embedded product key is annoying... at least they should allow other version of Win8 to be bootable.

At least FreeDOS version no any problem to me.... laugh.gif

Yesterday help my fiend build a rig with GTX 650 1GB vRAM(1100MHz Clock Speed, 5000MHz Memory speed, 80GB/s memory bandwidth)
expect it will be more faster than our Y480 GT 650M GDDR5, but result come out not so in expect, although it can max out and run smoothly(in 1280x720), but when it come to the place with more texture, it got some lag...
So after he went back and I do some test on my Y480, finally found out it need 2GB vRAM if u wanna max out all the setting(but is if ur graphic card strong enough), coz in 1366x768 when max setting, memory usage is ady in 7XXMB-8XXMB vRAM, I can expect it would draw out 1GB vRAM when it need to be...lol
I ady ask him bring his desktop morning later, hope in some tweak it can be max out all the setting

DmC 5 graphic is too crazy!!!!
In Y480 it only can be in this setting:
High graphic quality+HD texture+HD AA
Other like v-sync, HD shadow and Ultra graphic quality can't be on, otherwise fps drop sharply
BTW this game is optimize for AMD graphic card
