rcarlos243 Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 I have lenovo Y50-70 and the problem is the keyboard area gets burning hot whenever I am doing something intensive.I already undervolted the CPU and cache ratio by -55mv and the onboard intel gpu by -50mv.I also installed the IdeaFan mod to make the fan ran at max RPM.I am thinking of using something similar to car exhaust heat shield wrap to put in between the keyboard area and the motherboard to reduce the keyboard temps.like this one: 5ft 60"L 2"w Car Bike Exhaust Manifold Header Piping Black Heat Shield Wrap | eBayIs there any potential issues by doing that?

tom10122 Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 It will likely make the Cpu/gpu run hotter. I would advise against it. If you think about it , it may block the heat from the keyboard but it will keep it at the cpu. Try this first, Lenovo Y50 Cooling mod - 10c | NotebookReview . If that doesn't help THEN TRY the tape. Atleast this way the cooling system will have some extra oompf to rid itself of the heat you are throwing back at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bwai Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 Stupid question but you're using it on a hard surface right? The vents have the room necessary to allow the hot air out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williamtaplin Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Would be pretty difficult to do and trapping heat is never a good idea, I'd try a cooling mat or even better, a big cold metal desk. If the heat is really excessive it might be worth calling lenovo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alixalman Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 I have been having the same problem. I DIY an insulator double tape and applied it around keyboard area. Hope it helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aageon Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 I used tin foil under the keyboard area on older laptops, it helped for a few degrees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
