Hey peeps, I have a Lenovo Y510p with a single GT755M 2GB and i7 4700MQ,
I've learnt that Haswell CPUs overheat alot, so I was wondering, what if I disable the integrated graphics? Will it drop down the temps? Will it be okay to put everything on the GT755M? If I should go for it, how can I do it?
I need help regarding these questions, help me out and I'll be grateful! :D

Peace :>

Haswell mobile CPUs do not overheat a lot. Neither do the desktop chips unless they're overclocked, to be honest.
The CPU will lower it's clock speed if it becomes too hot anyway.

Yes, the 755M would be ok for everything. Should you use it all the time, so that the CPU doesn't get as hot? No.

It will output as much heat as you save by disabling the integrated graphics, as well as lowering your battery life through higher power consumption.

Keep the graphics settings as they are, it will produce less heat, and use less power.

The computer should automatically use the 755M when you play games.

where have you learnt that from?
they share the same heatsink in laptops, so if you make the 755 work more you'll limit how much heat the HSF can get rid of from the CPU. I'd suggest that the igpu uses less power than the 755M and therefore is better one to use.

Oh, some people told this to consider, but I just wanted to be sure if i should go for it
the thing is, my gt755m's temps are normal, but the cpu goes around 70-80c while gaming

But alright, I'll stick to the way it is by default, thanks people
