    Apple Issuing Fix for 2018 MacBook Pro Throttling

    "Digital Key" might as well be just a technical mumbo-jumbo. They might be just increasing the throttling limit and making the fan curve more aggressive.

    WD10S21X and WD Boost trouble:

    I'm on the same boat. This hard drive came with my Lenovo Y50-70 Touch, purchased July this year, and I've been having issues since I first booted it. As I've purchased it from another country, I don't have the receipt anymore, thus I believe the warranty is off question. The WD10S21X drive had...

    what method should i use to apply thermal paste?

    a small mustard seed size of thermal paste on the middle of the CPU is good enough (http://images.pcworld.com/images/article/2011/12/amd-tim-6653410.jpg). Don't put too much, or it'll do more bad than good. Make sure both CPU and heatsink are very clean and free of dust particles or oil...

    Purchased a JBL J88i to use with PC and G3. Works fine on the phone, but mic doesn't work on PC (I have a pin splitter)

    This is driving me nuts! It works on STOCK windows audio drivers flawlessly! But as the stock windows drivers doesn't provide an simple band equalizer, the sound sucks a little. When I install the Realtek drivers, the mic is kinda muted with this headset (while still working with my LG G3...

    Purchased a JBL J88i to use with PC and G3. Works fine on the phone, but mic doesn't work on PC (I have a pin splitter)

    Hey. I've purchased this JBL J88i headset. Mic works fine on my LG G3 and I've confirmed that it ain't the phone mic that's picking up my voice (by blowing on the headset mic and listening to it), but even though I own a 4 pin to 2x 3 pin splitter (which works with the stock LG G3 earphones...

    Computer works fine with full-system stress, but crashes in less than 3 minutes ingame!

    bump So I've reinstalled Windows so I could clear any driver issues off, updated it, installed the latest nVidia driver and went on playing. Everything felt better and faster. That's fine. Managed to play BF4 hours straight, then proceeded to FarCry 4 (after removing the broken mod) and played...

    Computer works fine with full-system stress, but crashes in less than 3 minutes ingame!

    Hey! I just updated my GTX660 to a GTX970. Installation was a breeze, though Windows didn't detect the card at first (although I had a nVidia graphics card and drivers installed and running), but it wasn't much of a hassle. I was wondering if my 3~4 yr old SevenTeam E-Force 550W would be able...

    Should I keep my i5 2310 or pick the 4670k?

    Hey! My current build is as follow: Core i5 2310 Gigabyte GA-B75M-D3H GTX660 2GB I'm thinking about upgrading to a GTX970, but I wonder if my base build has gotten too old. I can snap it to an old computer skeleton I have lying around here and try to sell it for the cost of the I5 4670K +...
