Hi saravanadurai,

how hot is hot? Download "Hardware Monitor", run it for a day and post your findings...

Hi saravanadurai,

one picture says more than a thousand words 

your Y460p temps are pretty much in the ball park, just a wee bit higher then on my Y560p.... reason may be...

- these are not precision measurements, so expect about +/- 5% measuring tolerance,

- the Y560p is bigger than Y460p, ventilation may be better,

- I've elevated the rear of laptop by two centimeters ( about one inch ) with rubber feet to aid ventilation and use no tablecloth,

- I do carefully clean the air vents at the bottom every 10 days with a toothbrush, especially the pinholes.

 The CPU core temperature always go together with wattage (power) e.g. my screenshot...

 48 C (118 F) at    1.24 W ( light use, just running Firefox )

44 C (111 F) at    0.70 W ( idle )

84 C (183 F) at 45.42 W ( pedal to the metal ! )

Would be educational to have other Y460p/Y560p owners post HWmonitor screenshots here.

hope this brings to you peace of mind... happy computing
