have some done any mod on the cooling system of lenovo y series? icon_question.gif
the temps are  shakehead.gif  doh.gif  sweat.gif when running COD: Advance Warfare.
as high as 104'C CPU & 98'C GPU w/o cooling pad & A.C room. vmad.gif  mad.gif

If you've never apply new thermal paste, you probably want to do it... Last time I disassembled my Y580, the thermal paste is the worst kind I've even seen. At that time, any games I played will cause the temp to go as high as 100'C for CPU and GPU.

After re-pasting with Arctic Cooling MX-4, max temp is hovering around 80'C. Though idling doesn't change much.

Oh, and if you want to do it make sure you have thermal pads as well... The one applied is crazily low quality... Mine doesn't even touched the chips they're supposed to cool... Lenovo really cut corners there...

but I did some simple mod on the cooling system.
the temps is lower now.

maybe you can ask them to do it for you? even if you have to use their own paste is ok... their paste is good enough when it's new but the paste dry up pretty fast so after a while it's not effective anymore.

Y410P is still having Wifi issues on Win 8.1 OS. Drivers don't address the issues with the WPA2 networks.

Doesn't apply to open ones.
*
I used to use cabled solutions to solve this issue whenever I can, Win8.1 Wifi driver issues plus the quality of signals I'm getting in my room, the situation is really bad to the point I can't do anything online even if the signal is there.

But ever since I bought my Surface, I know cabled solution isn't good enough anymore. Sure I can use USB to LAN adapter but a tablet being tied to cable isn't really a tablet... so I go out and survey a solution, then I find this...

http://www.tp-link.com/en/products/details/?model=TL-MR3020

It's not expensive, sub-RM100. Just set it to AP, run through a LAN cable and everything is set. Most of my wireless networking issue are gone. That's the thing with Win8 wifi. You need to be right next to the router then only you can have good connection. So with this thing being in my room I can have good internet all the time on all devices.

Why did I say 'most' and not all? It's because I still won't recommend it for gaming purposes. The ping to the main router hover around 2ms to 5ms... Latency isn't the best from this router. But everything else, it's good for a personal wireless hotspot. I used it to connect to my phone and my surface to the main network.

I think it's a good wireless networking investment as well, it can operate off a USB port (I think, you can hook it up to a powerbank as well but I never try it) and hook it up with USB 3G/4G modem so that it can act as wifi 3G/4G router as well if needed. Might not be the most elegant solution if you want to use it on travel with 3G/4G but sure a good cheaper alternatives comparing to buy dedicated 3G/4G WiFi devices....

That's interesting! So it's would repeat WiFi signals if I use it at places without Ethernet cables?

it doesn't repeat. it just broadcast a new wifi signals, internet comes from either ethernet cables or 3g/4g usb modem

how hard was it to dismantle it?

from instruction manual and youtube video, it seems like it is necessary to dismantle the entire thing
everything at the bottom must dismantle, top part as well

my i7 Y470 is hovering at 60C idle  sweat.gif

my warranty already over liao

would you advise me to attempt repasting myself?
i don't have any experience though
*
it is necessary to dismantle the entire thing, but if you ask me to rate the difficulties from 1 to 10 with 1 being the easiest, I'd say it's 4 for my Y580... just make sure you keep all the related screws and group them together accordingly... following the instruction in the manual will guarantee the success, though you probably want to be careful with the keyboard plastic frames, I broke mine in the process but for me I don't find it bothering me too much. The frame is more for aesthetic purpose rather than functions...

and make sure you have appropriate cleaning solution as well to clean up previous dried up paste... I used IPA last time...

if you're not confident doing it yourself, or you're known to be not very good with tools probably you want to ask the Lenovo guys to do it for you and pay them.

hi fellow sifus

need advise on my y410p, been using it for 1 year without problems but recently during playing games the laptop suddenly crash and this message appeared
"display driver nvidia windows kernel mode driver version 344.75 stopped responding and has successfully recovered"

anyone know how to solve it?

tq

I would say check the temperature of the GPU first.

If temperature is ok, it probably is just a driver issue. Not much you can do. If it keeps on happening, try to remove that driver and install older version of the driver or update to 347.09 Beta. I dont know why they release the new driver as beta (or they just simply don't write the release note properly) but the driver is Game Ready driver. Probably rush out the driver and release it as Beta for MGS5 and Elite: Dangerous.

I got this on my GTX680 on one of the older driver previously too and resolve after update. So, it is possible that the specific version of the driver cause the issue.

Hi guys... y400 user heree!

well,i have came across a problem regarding my usb 3.0 port.. would appreciate if any of y series owners come and take a look at my thread here. Most likely driver issue but i am stuck in finding a solution to it.. Thanks in advance!  notworthy.gif

Cheers

Have you tried to re-install the chipset driver either from the cd/dvd included or downloaded from lenovo or intel? This is hub controller driver. I think i did face this issue long time ago but forgot how did I solve it.

Also, try to just disable and enable the device again instead of uninstall?

I used Arctic Cooling MX4. works pretty well. how to apply it, download the disassemble manual and follow the instruction. it's not as hard as it seems as long as you follow the manual.

anyone bought the new y40-80?

I just bought it 2 weeks ago and wondering what is the normal boot up time?

was told my the sales person cox the windows installed in ssd so boot up time will be very fast. 

After using for 2 weeks my average from turn on power until sign in to home page takes about 1 min and few seconds... only few times about 50 seconds.

Is this consider normal?

my spec i7-5500U 5th gen 2.4ghz, 4gb ram, 1tb hdd + 8gb ssd
*
The person is an idiot. You're using hybrid harddisk drive (a.k.a sshd) where it combine ssd into mechanical hdd for caching.

That being said, i dont know if 50sec is a justified boot time. If it goes by my logic, it looks normal.

ic cox i did some googling .. some did it around 10 sec (not sure their spec) and called lenovo service centre they said win8.1 shouldnt be more than 30 seconds.

weird so far mine always 50-70 seconds. just formatted my laptop still the same result so i guess its normal.

Try check in the bios\uefi and see if fast boot is enabled.

Control panel - power option - already turn on fast start up

go into bios check it is booting from ssd, boot mode: UEFI ... not sure where to enable fast boot from there.

Any Y40-80 4gb ram user?
*
I can't really say for sure where is it, or if it is there at all since the laptop is already designed from ground up for Win8.1 and probably already hardcoded to behave how it is supposed to. But most of the time there's an option called fast boot or something similar in BIOS/UEFI which will skip some POST stuff that potentially slow down boot process. Normally, when fast boot is disabled boot time could be more than 30sec due to POST process.

Maybe somebody else can confirm the existence of it?

also how to know if my y50 is 4k screen?
*
if you can set your display resolution to 4k then you have 4k screen.

and you're saying your games run at 30fps max??? I'm betting the screen is 4k 30Hz display, with VSync enabled it will run 30FPS max.

The 4k resoultion is 3000x2000something
Then yes i have it

Btw that not me,im just saying that guy have similar problem as me
There a problem with 4k resolution on this y50

The chrome and all icon looks sharp but its so small,even the taskbar, and when i open google chrome/steam and other apps/programs, it is so blur, the writing is not sharp at all
I tried playing dota on 4k resolution,looks super sharp but make me feel dizzy for some reason, that the only thing look sharp, but my steam friends is blur, evrything is blur..its like its not optimized for 4k

So now im using 1980x1080..1080p reso iinm..now the icons is normal size but chrome still hve this blurry writing so does steam

Only dota 2 and watching movies seems fine so far..

Also how do i check speaker for left and right??
I feel like my right speaker is bit louder
*
You can check windows scaling. Control Panel > Display and change the size of all items. Pretty sure that's just the scaling issue. Any 4k display user is having this problem it seems. Scaling for 4k isn't good in Windows 8 at this moment and it can cause blurry display.

As for speaker, you can try to mute out one side by going Control Panel > Sound > Playback tabs, double click your playback device > Level tab, click Balance button.

and that's why I seriously hate laptop manufacturer's right now. Increasing the cost by so much going 4k when the platform doesn't even support 4k properly, not to mention the device doesn't even has the necessary horsepower to drive 4k in gaming. On top of that, it's on 15" screen! vmad.gif

giler overheating when gaming already selected lowest quality and 1366x768. Still over heating.
Am not using in a high room temperature.
Also on notebook cooler already.
Can felt, left upper part. Near charging port area, almost able to fry some salmon fish.

well, if you ask me... any notebook will be hottest at the exhaust area... heck, it even holds true for desktop; exhaust is the hottest area of the case... so, what do you expect?

As long as the silicon temperature doesn't exceed the operating temperature and wrist rest area doesn't burn your wrist everything should be fine (except cheap thermal paste, should replace that as soon as possible). check with any hardware monitoring softwares and if the temperature exceeding 90'C, probably should consider to tear them apart and replace the thermal paste.

Hello dear Sifus. Did anyone encounter a problem where the laptop will automatically shut down while gaming? It happens very frequently in Dota 2 but less frequently in games like GTA 4  sad.gif . Initially I thought it was an overheat issue so I clear out the air vent using a compressed air cannister and removed the bottom cover to clear out dust. The problem still persist and the temperature I assume should be average when gaming (Temperature recorded using Open Hardware Monitor):

Maximum Temperature recorded while playing Dota 2 before laptop crashing
Core 1: 75C
Core 2: 77C
Core 3: 70C
Core 4: 68C
GPU: 65C
HDD: 43C

Temperature recorded minutes after turning on laptop and entering game
Core 1: 65C
Core 2: 67C
Core 3: 59C
Core 4: 60C
GPU: 58C
HDD: 42C

Doesn't seem like an overheat issue to me. Could it be that I have a faulty motherboard/GPU? Bought this laptop for almost a year and half and this issue only came up recently.. The specs are as below:

Laptop model: Lenovo Ideapad Y400
Processor: Intel® Core™ i7-3630QM CPU @ 2.40GHz 2.40 GHz
RAM: 8.00 GB
System type: 64-bit OS, x64-based processor
OS: Windows 8.1 Single Language

Methods I tried:
Checked Integrity of game cache (Dota 2)
Cleared air vent with compressed air cannister
Remove back cover to wipe off dust and from fan
Check fan to ensure fully functional
Constantly using Dust removal feature to maximize fan speed

Sometimes it crashes only minutes after I on my laptop and enter the game, sometimes it takes 40-50 minutes before acting up. Games other than Dota 2 takes a longer time before crashing. Is there any other ways I could try before sending it to a Lenovo shop this weekend? Any suggestions or help would be much appreciated thank you!!!!  notworthy.gif
*
It doesn't seem to be overheating problem to me... but if you're already out of warranty probably you want to replace the thermal paste to avoid any kind of temperature spike during usage. Other than that, I can only imagine something went wrong with the power supply or VRMs.... It probably worth to check out if the thermal pads for the VRAM and VRMs are in good contacts as well... Do you game with battery on or off?

Thank you sifu for your reponse  notworthy.gif I had a look up on the lenovo website and it states that I have 2 warranty, 1 started from the date I bought the laptop and lasted for a year (expired), subsequently another warranty that last for additional 2 years from the date of expiry of the 1st warranty (till May 2015). May I know where can I buy a thermal paste? So far there hasn't been any temperature spike, just gradual increase in temperature over time. The power supply as in the power brick? Don't really dare to mess around with the internal parts in case I mess up my laptop sad.gif Is the VRM and VRAM integrated into the motherboard? I usually game with the battery off to increase the lifespan of the battery, but I tried playing with the battery on and the laptop still crashes as usual sad.gif
*
thermal paste is available in most computer shop. thermal pads I'm not sure, but big computer shops should have good supply of them.

It could be the spike is not recorded. that's what I'm afraid.

VRM and VRAM are soldered into the motherboard. Since you still have warranty probably you want Lenovo to check them for you.
