First of all thanks for these wonderful mods!

Also just wondering, if there is anyway someone could lift the BIOS limitation off when trying to mix and match the Ultrabay GT650m with the onboard GT750m and vice - versa because it gives me a unsupported VGA error.

I heard from Lenovo chat that the 650m laptops support a 750m in the ultrabay but not the other way around.

I use classic start and windows 8 works just like 7 for me. I find the right side menu a little annoying but I haven't look in to how to disable those.

For what it's worth, in the Lenovo machines I've disassembled, I've noticed the small amount of threadlock but it seems to hold great.

I think a lot of people get caught on this. When you improve the cooling system with thermal paste, the system fan speeds reduce. This nets you the same temps you had before usually.

The fans automatically speed up or slow down to maintain the noise level and temperature, so without manual fan speed control it is difficult to measure the effectiveness of new thermal compound or a cooling pad.

The temperatures gain after rapasting depends mostly on particular notebook. For example in my brothers lenovo y580 temperatures under stress dropped by 20 degrees under full load. So if you have temperatures much higher than other people with the same notebook I reccomend repasting, if not there is no sense in disassembilng.

It all depends on the original thermal paste job. A lot of times it isn't the paste but the actual tightening of the heatsink.
