@milmber - Did the sPPT fix the fan issue?
With the scores, I think there is just variance with GB. A 5000 pt difference is pretty close. I would get scores from 160K to 200K, and it was frustrating to test if the adjustments were making a difference or not. I had to take the average from 10 runs to finally see that the numbers with and without were really close. I think in the end the sPPT doesn't make that much of a difference in performance. I got a small boost, but the difference is so marginal that operationally, it is the same.
If it fixes the fan issue, then it is definitely worth keeping it in. Others have reported problems with sleep, either unable to go to sleep or crash upon wake (mine is fine).
