Wow this is impressive!!! Can you make a new thread and explain step by step how to make this modd possible. Maybe someone can provide you some pics of the process if you don't made them. I'll be greatly thankful because this is what every Y500 owner wants...

I think I'm going to leave the bottom open and put some furniture pads under my Y500...

If it does you're always welcome in Holland and no I'm not high...

Is it recommended to enable "Lenovo Fast Boot" in the Bios? I want to reinstall Windows 8 in UEFI-mode for a faster startup...

I have the same laptop and I have also the same heat issues. I've bought the same laptop cooler because of the modding ability. The problem of the Y500 is the poor vent-construction. What I want to do is drill small holes in the bottom cover to let more air in. I have tested my Y500 carefully with and without the bottom cover, and with no laptop cooler under the laptop. I put 2 small boxes underneath the Y500. These were the results: Results with bottom cover: CPU 82C GPU 93C Results without bottom cover: CPU 73C GPU 77C There is an other solution to transfer heat out but that's to risky for me. You can use washers to tighten the CPU and GPU to the heatsink. I called Lenovo to order a bottom cover but they will call me back. After that I will begin modding the bottom cover and the cooling pad.

Even that is not enough to tame the beast... I say buy a new bottom cover and drill holes to let more air in.

I think that when I drill small holes in the bottom cover there will be more airflow to keep the Y500 cool. Of course I will use a dustfilter... I've searched for a bottom cover but I didn't find one. I want to keep this one in case the project fails. I searched at ebay and on Welcome to Lenovo Spare Parts -. Can anyone point me in the right direction please...

Well... I'm using this one (Y500) as a desktop, it's to big to hang out with it on the sofa anyway. And I "must" spend my money on somthing...

I posted this in an other thread.. It's good to see that the temps are drestically low with the lid off, but with a major downside.

I'm going to repaste the CPU and GPU's, after that I plan to mod a Cooler Master Notepal U3. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834997872&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-_-na-_-na-_-na&cm_sp=&AID=10446076&PID=6146846&SID=1ktvlnhp5hldc The three 80mm fans will be replaced by three 120mm. What I also want to do is placing one fan on each side (left and right) on the outtake. I want to make a push pull config out of it...

Here are some fixes you can try... I hope you'll solve the bluetooth problem with one of the tips above...

Which thermal paste did you use to get so low and what do you use to clean the surface. Should I repaste the Ultrabay GPU... Thank you for all your help

Oke... So I should leave all the other settings/options untouched?

Thats genius... Wat are the setting that you use?

Is it safe to use turboboost 24/7?
