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 see there is an m.2 slot too with what looks to be a Kingston SSD.

        I’m still confused what era this laptop is from. It might be a SATA m.2.

      Still a bit bizarre. I feel like with 2TB NVMe as cheap as it is, HDDs in anything remotely portable are insane.

      Now they make sense in RAID/NAS stuff, but I feel like ones the 3.5” ones.
