Thanks for that!
Which all drivers did you update? And did you see any noticeable performance improvements?

Well, none of the drivers seemed to work for me
Every time I ran an installation, it would extract some files and an error would pop-up, saying "no appropriate driver to be installed" or "this utility cannot be installed on this machine"

How did you manage to install these files?

Auto installation is locked for Y50 and that is why i have said you have to install these manually.
To install manually:
1). Run the setup but don't select installation and get the extracted folders & files
2). Create one folder and put all the extracted driver folders & files in it
3). Go to Device Manager>Expand Device>Select Device>Write Click>Select "Update Driver Software">Select "Browse my computer for driver software">Select the folder mentioned in Step 2.
4). Repeat step 3 to update all the required device drivers.

Replacing ODD with 2nd GPU is a much better option imo.
Click to expand...

it is definitely a better option .
bt unfortunately an option not available in India or at only a heavy price.
so I am gonna get a ssd for now and pray they officially release the ultrabay GPU here.

First check if the laptop has a msata or M.2 slot. 120 GB Internal space is too damn less.
It should have a M.2 slot because the laptop comes with a caching SSD.

Hello Guys,
Wanted to ask what are the normal temparatures for y510p,
I am getting about 55 and 58 degrees for the 2 cores with room temperature around 28 degrees and utorrent being the only active application.
I have bought it recently only and I am using Real Temp GT tool for tempratures.
Please advise should I continue to be worried????? :-(

[MENTION=248727]seamon[/MENTION]: thanks for replying,
and should I consider it ok for the temperatures shooting upto 60 degrees, without any games being played,
Is there something I can do besides buying a laptop cooler?
Temps used to be around 45-55 range before I updates to win 8.1

I am not going to use the ssd only.. I will be using it along side my HDD. So the ssd will be in ultrabay.
120gb is enough for OS plus some programs I think..
I don't understand your point about the slot. cause I will be fitting it in ultrabay wer the ODD previously was. so I only need a Sata slot right ?
