hello,

maybe i'm the newest owner of p157sm in this forum

4700mq and 780m are rly impressive, those little monsters lol

and their temps is rly good, about 40@idle and 70@dota2

but I found dat PCH cooling is rly poor, about 70@idle and nearly 100@any game, and its temp is so hard to drop

so is there any solution to save this poor PCH?

I'd be a bit worried about 100 during any game. Have you run into any shutdowns yet? It might be worth looking into repasting to get a drop of a couple degrees

Supposedly they're fixing the game now by halting work on other projects.

More specifically, they've also had their dev team pause production on any DLC until the current bugs are ironed out. Which is a nice surprise lol

Latest movie I've seen: Mr. Nobody. (i accidentally watched the director's cut, which was 3+hrs.)

but it was fantastic. Great movie for anyone who loves mind-bending, hyper-confusing movies!

Hello guys!

I just did some tweaking in @svl7 's unlocked BIOS v2.07 for better CPU-performance. Everyone with the unlocked BIOS can do this.

You only have to start your Y580 and press ''F2'' for accessing the BIOS.

Then go to ''POWER'' -> ''Advanced CPU Control''

Now change the ''Turbo PWR Limit MSR Lock'' from ''Enabled'' to ''Disabled''. This allows you to change the Package Power Limit #1 and #2 with Throttlestop. (I raised it from 45W to 56W)

Then also change the ''Long Duration TimeWindow'' from ''28'' to the maximum of ''56''. This maximises the stock Turbo Time Limit for Limit #1 to 58 seconds.

Press ''F10'' to exit the BIOS and saving your changes.

This settings gives you a better clock stability for the CPU of your Y580.

Does this negatively effect the thermals at all? My laptop runs hot as it is

So long as you have a 750m, you're fine. (which you do.) the vbios mod is made for that specific video card.
