The Lenovo Y480 graphics card is too hot

Dear Lenovo users, hello!

First of all, the temperature of the machine detected by Master Lu and other software is not necessarily accurate. Because the registers that read the temperature inside the Lenovo custom graphics card are different from those of other brands of graphics cards, the temperature of the Lenovo notebook graphics card detected by Master Lu is not the real actual temperature.

According to your situation, it is recommended that you check whether the heat dissipation fan dust causes poor heat dissipation, the thermal grease of the heat dissipation module dries up and needs to be replaced, etc., it is recommended that you send the repair service station for paid services for three-dimensional maintenance, and professional engineers will thoroughly clean the internal heat dissipation components and motherboards of the machine, replace the thermal grease, etc.

The temperature of the desktop graphics card should be fine, but the temperature of the graphics card running large games will be high, and if the temperature of the game is stopped, the speed will drop, which is not a big deal.

Don't care.,The default settings are fine.,If you want to play games, set the power supply to high performance.,If you look at web pages and the like, set it to energy saving.,The graphics card will be switched automatically.。

The Lenovo Y480 uses an NVIDIA graphics card, which can be accessed to the NVIDIA control panel and set it up in the panel.

For example, you can switch the graphics card through the NVIDIA control panel

Right-click on an empty space on the desktop and select "NVIDIA Control Panel".

In the NVIDIA Control Panel, the default selection method is auto-select, which is set to "high-performance NVIDIA processors" here.

This sets the machine's default graphics card to a discrete graphics card.

You can also set the graphics card of a program as a discrete graphics card or an integrated graphics card separately, select the program settings, the panel in the following figure appears, select the program, and select the graphics card for it, so that you can set whether to use the independent graphics card or the integrated graphics card for this program.

Dear Lenovo users, if your computer has the problem of excessive heating under normal operation, you can follow the following methods to see if you can solve the problem you encounter:

4. Upgrade the anti-virus software of the machine to carry out overall anti-virus and clean up the system garbage;

5. Close the startup items that are not commonly used, the method is as follows: press the win+r key combination to call the running window, enter msconfig, click OK, select "start" to select the card, cancel the loader you don't need to boot, and then OK, you can turn off the boot startup of this program.
