    has anyone here stress tested the y580 for several hours to get it hot, and see if the core i7 throttles ?

    I didn't do anything near several hours but the notebook heats up very quickly and stabilizes temperatures in under 10 minutes. On all the tests I did (none more then 30 minutes) I didn't see any cpu throttling as per throttlestop but at 90c turbo boost drops off which very effectively keeps the temperatures max of 90 or 91 on my two y580s.
