MSI laptop fan control
Hello,
Until this week I was using Windows for gaming. However since it won’t recognise any HDMI screen I switched to linux gaming.
So far, everything I heard was true. We can play on Linux !
There is, however, one small “issue” that I have. I have a MSI laptop (GF65 Thin 10UE) and until now I managed the fans with Dragon Center when gaming. With Linux I don’t seem to have that possibility, which leads to overheating issues.
Is there any tool suited to manage fans on MSI, since isw doesn’t seem to be compatible with my particular model…
I like CoreCtrl. I don’t know how well it works with Intel and Nvidia, but it’s great on my AMD Thinkpad and desktop.
Nice thing is it’s in most distros’ repos these days.
Is that a fucking 3.5 inch HDD
Pretty sure it’s a 2.5" HDD.
The egregious part is that it’s a mechanical drive and not an SSD or an SSD adapter
I had a similar issue with my asus, and some dude made a workaround, if you’re motivated you can always make your own heat / speed setup with fancontrol
That’s what I’m searching for… a workaround ! I can’t see my fans in fancontrol
In your Nvidia settings can you control the fan speed?
No, I can’t… I found two possibilities :
- Use MControlCenter, that I can’t seem to build because it can’t find Qt (I have it installed)
- Build a custom kernel with
ec_sys
enabled, which I can’t do because 'm not sure where to find Nobara Kernel and if that would not make my games stop working…
Well that sucks then. You probably won’t find anything that then is able to do that on your system. I am not that of an expert, but I would suggest to look if you can find a Linux os that has the correct kernel
Just a blind guess, but maybe some issue with the makefile?
