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
That’s what I’m searching for… a workaround ! I can’t see my fans in fancontrol
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_sysenabled, which I can’t do because 'm not sure where to find Nobara Kernel and if that would not make my games stop working…
When I installed Bazzite on my Asus laptop I got an Armory Crate application. There seems to be something similar for MSI laptops called MControlCenter, but don’t know anything about it. Hope this gets you going in the right direction.
