lol. i can't believe this thread is still alive. obviously scam like anything else. :sleep:

It's not a scam. It's just that people tried to get something they weren't eligible for in the first place. I don't expect Microsoft to send out free stuff to everybody on the planet.

does noone here actually work for one of these companies, they could massively help fellow neowinians out and send MS some emails claiming to be the employer of those that recieved the emails

I think most ppl in the netherlands got their stuff.. but because there are only a few ppl.. they didn't bother a lot with it.. But the UK on the other hand... :unsure:

    • Well I've done a grand total of nothing, and it now clocks between 2010mhz and 1995mhz (stock is 1710mhz) and hovers around 80c, warmer than it used to, but tolerable clocks seem to have returned. Thanks for all the advice on this thread. Will review the evidence and make a choice.

    • I really wonder if this has to do with the built in VPN or "private DNS" of browsers that trip up legal requirements like cookie consent and Cloudflare (to avoid all the botnet attacks we get). And BTW some botnets still manage to get past Cloudflare, we are constantly having to tweak it to block malicious traffic that ultimately cause a DDoS.
