Re: Lenovo B560

You won't find a schematic for this mainboard (Wistron LA-56), at least i didn't. The Wistron LA-46 board is very similar, you can use that schematic as a guide, it's available on several sites for free. The only part that's different is the main 3.3v and 5v supply, everything else is the same.

I have a V570, but IDK if they're similar.

Re: Lenovo B560

V570 is Ivy Bridge, V560 is Sandy Bridge. Totally different designs.

No, mine is Sandy Bridge. That's why I'm getting a new one soon. Otherwise there would be no point. Core i5-2410M. Definitely Sandy

Does yours run very cool at idle but throttles and even shuts down sometimes if you put 100% load on the CPU, like Prime or IntelBurnTest?

The i3 M 370 in my V560 does that, and i'm wondering whether it's just an undersized heatsink or i have to finally stop being a cheap ass and spend some $$ on high quality thermal paste.

Regarding thermal paste and being "cheap":

Since the mainboard is a Wistron, does that mean the whole laptop is ODM and not made by Lenovo?

No, The first week I had it, I opened prime95 on it before going to sleep and when I woke up next morning it was still doing fine.
