The Lenovo Ideapad Y510p Thread

[seamon]

Hdds don't tend to overheat unless it's a defective one. It's safe upto 60 degrees. Do whatever you want with your laptop, I scarcely care. But for others, it's a very bad idea to apply thermal paste on Hdd because if it comes in contact with lower plastic cover, the cover may melt due to excessive heat. Also, most thermal pastes are conductors and if it accidentally drops on the mobo, it will short circuit.

After almost one month finally i got time to play game on y510p
Installed nfs mw 2012 and it was nice experience , game was super smooth.

But when i check temps on coretemp , its showed me max temp of each core was around 85+
I am now worried to play games , and how to keep cool temps while playing games ??

as far as i know 2 solutions are there , 1st is cooling fan 2nd is extra ultrabay fan.
But hey i am totally noob for laptops :/
So suggestions are highly appreciated ..

Ultrabay upgrades are not available in India so forget about them. CPU is fine till 90. This CPU does get a little hot, just keep laptop on an elevated surface.

Update for y510p users:

Latest check and update;
Wont work as lenovo hasnt yet approved this update for y510p. Cant install from intel directly due to lenovo. This never happened to me in my Dell Studio

 

[vito scalleta]

Iam thinking of buying y510p in the US
bt the models available in US are not available in India
Will the international warranty provided be valid here ? Will I get the warranty service in India for those models ?

Not only Intel 4600 graphics driver but you can also get updated Intel Chipset Device Software and Intel Rapid Storage Technology from Intel's website. Moreover you can download updated audio driver from Realtek's website and if you have Atheros network than visit: ATHEROS drivers for Microsoft Windows (Atheros?????)
These softwares/drivers work just fine on my system maybe because I have formatted it to clear all the crap!

What's the cheapest variant of Y510P ? And its price ?

 

[starbearer]

Best option !!!
Wat about the one key recovery and other partitions?.... all gone...?
Will the 1key work as a backup if all formatted?

You have i5 version of y510p costing around 65k in Delhi.
i7 version of y510p will cost around 74k.
both have 1tb hdd space.

depending on other config, i5 version is cheaper, but best bet spend some more go for 4th gen i7...atleast its powerful and will remain available for another 2 yrs time..most likely!!!!

I just called up lenovo india toll free ( 180030005366 ) and got it confirmed that they would support international warranty on y510p purchased in USA.

Actually buying the sli model from usa and getting it delivered to india after this is incredibly attractive option!

 

[hybridic]

Is it wise to buy the i5 version from flipkart @64000 ?
Because Lenovo has mentioned on their website that Flipkart is not thier authorized seller .

Yes, I too want to buy i5 variant. Will there be any major gaming difference from the i7 variant as I will be playing titan fall on this machine.

Titanfall won't require a core i7 to run good. It can be run equally good on the core i5. Future games like Witcher 3 etc will require core i7.

When I visited lenovo store and asked them the same question, they were very specific and clear that lenovo will not accept the warranty claim if bought from these sites. He also said we will not be able to do registration on lenovo website for the laptop bought from such websites. How true that is, well your guess is as good as mine.

Buy it from the online retailers at your own risk.

 

[vito scalleta]

Thanks . And u r right.
Everyone reading this thread should consider buying from US bcoz u get better config at a reduced price.
Moreover u dont get bundled accessories here like in US.

Would you buy directly from Lenovo USA website or ask your friend in USA to carry it for you?

It will be great if you can share the process of sourcing the laptop from USA?

Also, what about custom duties, shipping costs, etc.

 

[seamon]

Buying the laptop here and importing just the SLI card is a much safer option imo.

- - - Updated - - -

Take at least +35% extra cost as duties etc.

 

[falcongamer]

If it is ~35% duty, importing the whole laptop is pointless! If you have a friend carry it in, that's the only good option.

 

[vito scalleta]

Iam having my brother bring it here ..
price difference is around 10k rs + the 24ssd option not available here + gt 755m instead of gt 750m + antiglare screen instead of glossy screen+ blue ray drive instead of dvd drive
the downside is waiting till june .. bt anyway i have my exams till that and will use my desktop for the time

Yes I have formatted everything and restored OKR functionality, steps that I followed:
1). Get key from BIOS using RW Everything (More Info)
2). Install OKR 8.0 (More Info)
3). Install Windows 8.1 Single Language x64 (More Info)

NOTE: You can modify create.ini file in OKR iso to change the partition size being created.

Argh ... that kills it. Bongous.com agrees with you. 20% + tax.

I am exploring the option of buying it offline in bangalore , know any reputed shop which you trust/have bought already here from ?

These guys are retailing the lappy for Rs.72490 ( cheaper than flipkart's todays listing price )
