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.

    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
