    SP3 constant fan

    The good thing is: you don't need one! As far as I know, your windows licence key is saved in the Bios and Windows detects it automaticly. So the only thing you have to do is to press "refresh" under pc settings. :)

    Solved Can't auto rotate most of the time. But sometimes.

    From macair 13" to surface pro 3

    As far as I know indexing occurs only when the screen is on, but honestly I'm not sure about this. But usually indexing doesn't take that long, it varies with the amount of files you have.

    Improving SSD performance

    My first guess was that something went wrong when flashing the firmware. Anyone happens to have the old firmware available? True. I didn't know it was still just a release candidate. I really hope Samsung will release a final version soon.
