Hello!
Thank you for posting these photos! The NGFF drives will be coming out in 22mm width and 42mm, 60mm, 80mm, and 110mm length. There appears to be room past the screw in your photos but they are kind of dark. Would you do a huge favor and measure the base of the connector to the end of the cavity to see how much extra room is in there?
Would be best to use a ruler and measure in cm (centimeters) and then we can convert to mm.
I'm thinking the longer drives can just lay on top of the screw mount hole and can be modified some other way to stay in place.
Thanks in advance! -

Does the laptop make a lot of noise and heat when gaming or when just using the web and such?
-
-
Actually I'm quite surprised at how silent it is even while running full load. Lenovo did a great job with heat dissipation and keeping noise to a minimum. You might hear the fans kick in during full gpu load with heavy games but in all it's barely noticeable.

I just played some Battlefield 3, and it was pretty bad.... I was only able to play for like 20 minutes. I played on Ultra and got very good fps (40-60fps)
1. Runs WAY to damn hot!! Both sides of the laptop was blowing out burning out air that literally burns my fingers. I had to keep my hand (and mouse) about 6-7 inches away from the laptop because it literally burned my thumb. As I am typing now, my thumb feels like it was burned and hurts a bit. The air was being blown out very hard? (if thats a good way to put it), basically what im trying to say is the heat reached easily 5-6 inches on the right side and even more on the left. The left side was even hotter and it seriously burns right away if you touch the vent.
2. Even though I was getting 40-60 fps in Battlefield 3, there is no way it actually was getting that. I know what Battlefield 3 feels like with 45 and 60 fps, its smooth as butter. But with this, it felt like I was playing at around 30-40 fps. It was really weird and I will definitely be running more tests on it, but something felt wrong. The only way it felt buttery smooth like 60fps was if I put the game in low-medium and I got around 80fps. This literally doesnt even make sense since the obvious that a human eye can not see a difference from 60fps to anything higher.
So now im really upset and confused about this machine. My old MSI GT60 NEVER got that hot, even is I played Metro on ultra for 3 hours (which only got like 15fps) it never would get this hot, its not just it being hot, its the fact that this machine got that hot a minute after i started Battlefield 3. So if anyone has any input on this, feel free to contribute. Thanks. -
You are either running into input lag due to frame buffering, or you are running into SLI configuration microstutter. Both situations can be tested and easily resolved by turning Vsync off. If you can confirm that turning Vsync off improves the situation, then you have isolated the source of the problem to those two possibilities, and can start trying to troubleshoot from there.
It's worth noting that the whole argument of "the human eye can't see beyond 30 / 60 fps" is not valid for computer gaming, because that assumes that you are passively sitting there watching passive video playback. When you are gaming, your brain has additional input based on mouse & keyboard motion. And if those keyboard / mouse motions do not match what you see on screen, then your brain will interpret it as lag.
You can test this yourself by recording your gameplay footage using something like FRAPS. Play a game like Battlefield 3 at 60fps, where you experience in-game input lag. And then watch the video playback, and see if you can still see where the game felt "laggy" to you. I'll bet that you cannot feel the "lag," once you remove the keyboard & mouse motion from the equation. -
About the heavy heat situation Albake21 is reporting, i was wondering:
It is ok if i play on the laptop for long time (hours)? Using a wireless Xbox controler (so my hand would not touch that heat) on a laptop table (flat) and playing with A/C on most of times? I mean even if the laptop heats that much would it still be ok?
I have on mind playing BF4 on ultra if posible and 1080p. And to use it instead of a PS4 / Xbox One.
Thanks a lot. -
i need some help but it s kinda weird question
i m getting the y510p sli version with the 16 g ram an everything but my cousin will buy it for me from italy (i live in egypt) and i want to know what he should do to make shure that the laptop dosen`t have any flaws like the trackpad / the keyboard / the heat / the wifi / the sound / etc....

and about the heat i heard that it doesn t get hot when gaming (barely warm) -

any cooling fans recommendations ???
-
-
-
Personally, I've never used cooling fans. There really is no need to spend extra for that. A properly designed laptop can handle the heat and I wouldn't game while having it on my lap anyways.
That said, a single GPU solution is almost always better. SLI config on 15 inch chassis with a high-end CPU ... 3 major heat sources. Yep, that's the recipe for overheating especially when you push GPUs like that. -
Anyone see Newegg listing the y510p as discontinued? Weird, I thought they were going to restock it...
Edit: Apparently, Lenovo's site doesn't even stock the SLI models anymore for the y500 and the y510p. The ultrabay has been replaced with an optical drive in all their models.
Link for the lazy: Newegg.com - Lenovo IdeaPad Y510p (59362706) Notebook Intel Core i7 4700MQ(2.40GHz) 15.6" 12GB Memory 8GB SSD 1TB HDD NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M SLI -
I currently own 2, one for my y510p, and one for my xbox. Again, definitely recommend. -
me: asked where it went.
Rep: That model is Out of stock.
me: for how long?
Rep: As of now there is no update on when this model will be back again.
me: what about when you will get the gt750m ultrabay back in stock?
Rep: I am really sorry, I wish I could answer you on this but there is no update on these models.
Hopefully just ran out of stock on the ultrabay 750m's -

kinda makes me wonder about the rep though..... -
I spoke to a handful of reps yesterday regarding when the y510p drivers will be available, most of them have NO idea what's going on. One rep said "so you're asking about the WIFI laptop product?" instead of what I said, "y510". They really had no idea. I'm going to email the rep who I purchased the machine from to ask about a.) when the drivers will be released and b.) if older ultrabay cards, specifically the fan, will fit. The problem on here is that people are quoting reps who really don't know what they're talking about, and unknowingly giving us completely false info. In an online chat yesterday, one rep said "I don't actually know the answer so I won't give you a fake answer that would make you happy like other reps would". Also, for those here who had a ship date of the 12th (for the 510p), did it actually ship yet?
-
mine did not ship. which is why i talked to the rep today. she said the order has no problems just that the ship date is an estimated ship date - we should all take note that it does literally say "estimated".

Hi I ordered one Y510P SLI 36h ago and it has already been shipped I should receive it the 14th in Florida. Myself I won't be able to try it before the 17th I think :-/
For your information there are some new coupons on the website. It's even cheaper than a few days ago : you can ask the support to get back the difference in a 21 days period if I remember well... -
Damn it i was really hoping to buy the y510p on newegg because of the bill me later thing and the newegg preferred account also.
-
Edit: nvm, it says the laptop has shipped on that page too. Can't wait! -
So can anyone comment that when the nvidia drivers for the 750m are available that the heat problem may get better. I know it would be speculating if answered but I'm just wondering if updated drivers might fix some of the y510p heat problem.
-
bulsit i order the laptop on the first day lenovo put it on the site Estimated
Delivery Date was the 14 and shipping date was the 12 nowwwww

I still wonder, it is bad if the laptops heats much? Other than burning your hand? Like the laptop getting damaged or something? (i play with a wireless Xbox controler)
-

which card do you have physx running on? u might try switching to the opposite card
-
Mine went from an estimated shipping date of June 15th to June 17th.
I think they realized that they can't ship anything on Saturdays I hope they ship it on the 14th instead
-
For those who had their machine ship, was it send ups ground?
-
