  1. YMMV. I have used the NotePal U3 and the X Lite, and I saw no difference in temps, just in noise level. The only difference I've noticed in temps is not using a cooling pad at all.
  2. I have used a few different ones, but one never seemed to cool better than another, I think as long as they provide airflow under the notebook that's about as good as you can get. It would be nice if we could get fan control in these (I have a SLI Y500). I know the fans can move more air than they do, and there is a way to control them because Lenovo's own software can ramp up the fan speeds to "clean" the fans out, but I haven't yet seen a way to control them. That being said, I use this Belkin one being it is smaller than the laptop, as I have limited desk space. Amazon.com: Belkin CoolSpot F5L055-BLK Laptop Cooling Pad (Black): Electronics
  3. Could possibly be a bad card? Maybe try re-seating the card? Did you un-install all old drivers before re-installing the new ones? I had a problem with my Centrino 2230 where it would keep dropping the connection, even after re-installing the new drivers. Finally, I deleted all wifi drivers and software, then rebooted, and then installed the drivers again, and now its been almost a week since I have dropped a connection. Just a few things to try maybe.
  4. This will not work if you formatted the HDD and got rid of the recovery partition that was hidden on the hard drive. You may be able to contact Lenovo and order the physical media, but there might be a fee associated with that.
  5. Hi all...just joined to forum after coming across it in my search to get rid of the whitelist on my Lenovo Y500 so I can get rid of the junk Centrino 2230...just ordered myself up a new Centrino 7260 2x2 AC/Bluetooth card to pair with my new WRT1900AC router (Had the Nighthawk, but the power supply died). Im a system admin and enjoy tinkering with all things technology, and it seems like there is some good information here. Figured I'd stop in and say hi.
  6. Hi all, quick question: I read through a handful of the pages, and just wanted to clarify something...do I have to flash the ultrabay if I do the 2.04 mod? It says 2.02 only, or is that just the minimum version needed to flash the ultrabay?
