UPDATE: Now I know why it gets hot. I disabled SLI ( stupid of me ). TEMPS now. CPU : 86C GPU0 : 77C GPU1: 61C CLOCKS: 1100/2500 1.1V VERY HAPPY WITH RESULT

Okay, I did not find the "windows fast boot" , but I did find the "Lenovo fast boot" in the settings. I tried both enabled and disabled and the enabled fast boot worked with bluetooth ( LOL now it works on enabled fast boot ). When I try to disable it the bluetooth wont start, but when I enabled it, it worked @_@ weird. Anyway thats fixed now. I have a new problem, Now I cant seem to manually turn off the bluetooth. It wont when I go to the configure wireless device . It says " Cannot disable " . Its not that big of a problem, but my WiFi loses a bit signal and its jumpy when bluetooth is turned on. WiFi card = Intel 6230 + bt 3.0 Thanks!

Hello guys, I'm having problem with its blutooth ( intel 6230) . After installation, the bluetooth works, but after restarting won't work. I have to reinstall again so that it will be enabled. I use it for my motionjoy software for ps3 controller pairing @_@. Never had problems with my other laptops because it has a dedicated bluetooth button. In my y500 I cant turn it on because no hot key for bluetooth. Any help would be great. Thanks

Yeah, Optimus would really help this laptop. But still got an awesome specs for the price. IMO price performance ratio is outstanding on this laptop.

Here dude, 750SLI Review Lenovo IdeaPad Y510p Notebook - NotebookCheck.net Reviews 650SLI Review Lenovo IdeaPad Y500 Notebook - NotebookCheck.net Reviews though kinda different because of the haswell CPU, but I think the 3630qm and 4700mq is almost the same when compared ( correct me if I'm wrong ) Also, I'm having problem using the bluetooth because everytime I restart the computer it wont work anymore ( i have to reinstall the driver and it would work, but after restart i cannot use it ) @_@ HELP wlan card= Intel 6230 advance + BT 3.0

I have tried 2 coolers for it. 1 with 2 big fans and 1 with 1 big fan. temps here in my place is 14C room temp around 18-20C and mine is the gt650 SLI which has different temps than 750's ( i think ) In the reviews in notebook check it says that its higher. Anybody has other cooling methods or mods for this great laptop? UPDATE: Does anyone know if there is a program when you press caps lock it will indicate in the screen( Just like on my MSI gt780 "S-bar" application )? or manual bluetooth on or off (becaus intel 6230 cant handle bluetooth + wifi on , I mean it can but the signal of wifi stutters)

Hi, Did anyone of you change thermal paste? What would you reccomend? ic diamond 7 or MX-2? or others? Im hitting temps of 95C which saddens me

Here in my country the cards are expensive due to the tax + shipping :/

Hi TechInferno! Can anyone help me breakdown this laptop Lenovo Z400 touch. My girlfriend just bought one with the non-backlit keyboard (i5-3210 and gt740m).

Hi SVL7! Got it working, Octiceps was right you need to go to properties and apply " run as admin " . I think when you are clicking the backup.bat it opens another instance of the software that is not previlaged by the admin. Thanks a lot for both of your work, will now try to flash 2.04! Hope nothing goes wrong! UPDATE: Got to install bios mod v2.04 next is the vcard vbios

I tried using the DOS version but it wont work as well. any help would be appreciated UPDATE: Also tried with win7 compatibility. still a no go. tried running fptw64.exe first then clicking the backup.bat , still none. Sorry this is my first time modding a BIOS HELP

This is a windows 8 pro version that i used for clean install. I just made a new windows 8 single language from the core volume and i will use that to format my laptop after bios mod. I already did the 2nd step which is to make a usb dos bootable drive. I dont know how to backup my BIOS and get my serial key. any help would be great. I'm clicking the backup.bat with admin previlages but it just flashes something in CMD i cannot even see if it has backed up. Any help would be great

Im at 2.02 now. Had problem booting in UEFI mode. Changed it to Legacy and it booted into windows. Is this okay?

Thanks sir. also I have the model y500 650m SLI. Is 2.04 compatible?

Hello, I just ordered the keyboard skin from HK , buy 1 colored take 1 transparent. I got for my 2 laptops. the z400 and my y500. Just arrived yesterday. The materials used for the z400 skin is defenetly better than the y500. The z400 skin (Purple )is thicker and you can type on it. The y500 skin ( yellow ) is just to thin and glossy that the keys get stuck when you put it in . You cannot type at all with the skin in place. been asking for replacement and he said that the skin is the same with z400 and y500, but that is not the case. I am not dumb enough not to know the difference. IMO If anyone of you has a better skin for out amazing laptop, please do post it THANKS T.I!

thing boots like it's on an SSD LOL even though I have slow-ass 5400 RPM HDD. Seriously the fastest Windows boot I ever seen So true! you should give win8 a chance. Only parts missing is the start button and the new metro UI(which you could bring back with 3rd party softwares). Also the win 8.1 preview is out now which fixes the tiles on the metro UI which really could help.

Mini PCIE + HDD combo for the best storage and speed. I currently have it on my laptop now. Y500 with msata crucial m4 128gb + 500gb 7200rpm drive. but my dream config would be msata ssd 256gb (OS) and a 2.5" SSD 500GB for all the files

Hello T.I ! New here. I think the WiFi direct wont work if you don't have Intel integrated graphics enabled ( like the y400 y500 ) correct me if I'm wrong hope this helped! ( sorry i dont know the model of your laptop)
