Have you tried to solve the overheating issue, maybe by placing a cooling pad.... or anything??? I have an existing Dell 1420, to tell you the truth, the ventilation is really sux and the heat is getting worse on my palm rest without the good performance cooling pad.  cry.gif

u can chagn de hdd to odd to prevent de hdd to get hot wen playing games, for de cpu n cpu, i think all u can do is add a cooling pad or a fan

i think its hot even without gaming because of the i7(not sure though) becuz from i know, an i7 is quite warm even on idle,
my y580 temp is cpu=52 gpu=44 hdd=50 hmm.gif on normal usage
i think my hdd is quite hot and i thinking to change it to odd hmm.gif

It's definitely faster. but sometimes it will hang after the logo. not everytime. must be some processes that it's running. Have you notice any unknown process running on your rig ?

nothing strange in de task manager as far as i know(maybe i not pro enuf to find it out doh.gif )

hi guys, i've been using Y480. I mod my rig by moving the hdd to the odd using a caddy to reduce the heat problem on the hdd.

My fren is looking to buy Y400 now. He'd like to know from those owners of Y400:

1) Is there heat problem on Y400 (like Y480)? Do you need to do the same (moving hdd) like on the Y480?

2) What's the average price of Y400 now?

3) Is there great improvement over Y480?
*
1) no and if u wan u need a special caddy from lenovo as y400 odd is specially made for its sli function

2)reatil price is 2799(not sure) but u c an get cheaper abit i think

3)yeah, de temperature has improve(runs cooler) and it has sli function as it may improve some game experience
(does not own a y400 but all information are observe by this thread so if anything wrong dont blame me tongue.gif )
