Help with Lenovo Y510p

Mar 04, 2024
Hello Guys,


I have an old Lenovo y510p (9 years) that I use to study, work and play some games.

Everything was fine and the computer worked really well until about 2 months ago it started to get really slow.

To give you an idea, games like Valorant, which before I could maintain at 60 fps stably (no more than that), are now no longer possible. The FPS keeps droping and I believe the reason is de CPU.

Ive tried to tweak it by changing thermal paste and cleaning, but without any success, and the CPU temperature always goes to 100 C°.

Looking for solutions, I found Throttlestop and still trying to figure out optimal settings for this old rock.

To cut a long story short I have tried some settings and the game is more playable, but I cant keep it on 60 fps.


I know the computer is very old, but I hope you guys can help me because I dont have money to buy a new pc :roll:.


Here are my TS settings and the notebook specs


CPU - Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4700MQ CPU @ 2.40GHz 2.40 GHz
