add ram wont void warranty, the best is simply ask the shop to do it cool.gif

Okay.. Erm one more question.. Let's say I now change my hdd to ssd.. When I want to claim warranty that time.. Do I need to change back to the old hdd for the warranty purpose or I can stick with my current ssd and process to sc?

Hello new user for Y510P single graphics reporting in! Seller gave me 3 years McAfee for free but I read some comments saying it's the cause of lag... Should I use it or sell? Bought mine from a lenovo retail outlet, price was abit high but it's fresh MY set c/w 2 year warranty. I plan to play bf4 &codG soon, what's the normal temperature when playing the game after a couple of hours? If temp high can send back for warranty? How do you guys check the temperature? Thanks in advance!

I personally using mcafee.. and i can say it have good protection from virus.. for lagness i dont feel anything and it doesnt not cause lag when gaming..

I have been forced to use McAfee for 3 years and it has not been a good experience...

The worst I got is when McAfee prevents me to have any kind of network, ping to localhost return general failure!

for network.. i didnt encounter any problem.. but for one thing is, it cant allow us to put exception file into the list.. try to google but end up with ntg.. that's the thing i feel not good.. other than that.. still okay..maybe i just a normal user so didnt feel anything biggrin.gif
