Hello everyone,


Y540 user here. I did my purchase from SG lenovo website and received the laptop a week ago.

Laptop configuration:

Intel® Core™ i5-9300H
GTX1660Ti 6GB GDDR6 192bits with Samsung VRAM
Full HD IPS 144 Hz 300 nits (BOE NV156FHM-N4G)
8GB DDR4 2666MHz SODIMM (Micron 8ATF1G64HZ-2G6E1 running at 19-19-19-43-2 (tCAS-tRC-tRP-tRAS-tCR))
Audio Realtek ALC257
Intel 256GB Solid State Drive, M.2 2280, PCIe-NVMe (Intel 760P SSDPEKKW256G8L)
Intel® Wireless-AC 9560
3 Cell Li-Polymer Internal Battery, 57Wh (SMP L17M3PG2)


I would say the laptop is a well thought out design, a carefully engineered product comes with sturdy build. I like the idea of major ports/ connectors placement at the rear. Definitely love the clean and professional look.

Haven't really got the time to game on it. Only did some tests and system stability check mainly with throttle stop and prime 95. Starting with -125mV for both the core and cache. Average 4.0G 4 cores up to 85°C.

Pros:

Good quality and build. Thin bezel and premium look.
Good overall performance and value for money.

Cons:

Horrible touch pad button clicking sound. Inherited from last generation i supposed :/
power brick literally look and weight like a clay brick but it serve the job well.
Only 1 NVMe slot available.

I only did for Unigine and it scored 2.9Kish @1080P extreme if i remember correctly.OK sure,will try out Aida64 later. Any good suggestion for the ram?

Aida64 FPU+ heaven extreme

-125mV

CPU Max 96°C all core Min 3.3g, Average 3.60g
GPU Max 80°C FPS:64.9 Score:1634

-140mV (maximum)

1st test
CPU Max 96°C Min 3.3-3.5, Average 3.69G
GPU Max 80°C FPS:66.6 Score:1677

2nd test
CPU Max 96°C all core Min 3.3g Average 3.54g
GPU Max 80°C FPS:66.6 Score:1677

Yeah Max fan, and normal room ambient temperature. Both profile tested for 1 hour long with/without benchmark in heaven (more than 10 sets) only the last 3 tests were recorded. Throttle came in quicker and harder with heaven bench enable. Power consumption is soft capped at 45W, could see it draw 50-55 sometimes.

For example

-125mV
CPU Max 96°C all core Min 3.3g, Average 3.60g with heaven benchmark
CPU Max 96°C all core Min 3.4g, Average 3.70g without heaven benchmark
Room temp ~26/27

I am happy with the result. After all it's up to individual needs and preferences
