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…

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 :

  1. Use MControlCenter, that I can’t seem to build because it can’t find Qt (I have it installed)
  2. 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…

Can you paste the output of the build so we can see what specific package it is missing? Qt is not a single package, and it’s very likely that you need the developer package qt-devel and its associated libraries to build, not just the base package.

Just a blind guess, but maybe some issue with the makefile?

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

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
