Hey guys I have a Lenovo y40-80 here which the gpu underthrottles every single time when gaming to 300mhz at around 70c - 90c. Is this consider as overheating? Its annoying when I'm using a cooling fan and another standing fan pointing directly onto it.

UPDATE 1: Called Lenovo this morning and didn't get a complete answer. They said they'll transfer my case to the management and will look more into it to determine the solution.

mine runs 35-37.. with 80% cpu utilization..
just put new thermal compound... coolermaster gold.

Tat model famous for overheat

toshiba laptop also overheat so easily

Worst purchase so far. Sent it for 3 times for motherboards and graphic card repairs and the laptop is not even 1 years old or maybe I got a lemon unit?

same goes with me , previously owned toshiba laptop ... use it less then a year , overheating .. send to service centre 4x , still the same .... give up then buy HP laptop , till now works fine

Try msi gs series lo... lagi pain

Maybe both of us got a lemon set? Just made a complain to lenovo and currently waiting for their reply. I think the only solution is to reapply thermal paste.

Unreliable? Some of my friends are using MSI laptops and so far only one has problem the rest are working fine. Should've bought MSI instead of this crappy lenovo laptop.

they should apply thermal paste .... may be depends on luck

I think they applied some crappy thermal paste that is probarly on par with toothpaste. Changed 3 motherboards and problem still persist. I've ever wonder if they really changed it or just leave it as usual since they're making at a loss on this laptop and wouldn't want to change a new unit for me. Gonna pay a visit to the service centre again. Got a feeling that its gonna be the same.

ur fren so lucky no kena overheat meh.. mayb gt series

rest crappy fan they use

i dont know man , me myself send 4x but the problem still there , collect it from SC back home turn it on 2 hours later overheat .. happen 4x all over again ... gave up and went to cash converter , they took it for RM something .. i dont care anymore ... went to harvey norman and bought HP pavilion below rm2k .. till now no prob at all

No idea what series they used but the only thing it sounded like a helicopter when gaming and they're bulky that's one of the down side.

Thinking of selling it too but I need the specs for work and some gaming. Currently now there's no laptop that is slim, powerful and <3k like the y40. Really disappointed.

sounds like GT series to me... the only series tat can call themselves gaming laptop.. haha

Slim and overheat comes hand in hand bud. Either get a new one or live with it. lol, or go and undervolt your CPU voltage.
