    In a few threads about the headphone jack noise, some people said that installing RMClock helps to partially eliminate the noise. On the other hand, some people say that installing RMClock causes the laptop to become very warm. Does it really make that big of a difference?

    Well, using RMClock to eliminate the headphone jack noise would make your cpu run at 100% all the time, right? So I'd imagine if you were traveling with it you wouldn't want to, and there's still a case to be made against keeping your laptop running hot while NOT traveling...

    It probably DOES make a noticeable difference in the heat... your CPU is 100% vs 50% or whatever it's now.
