MSI laptop fan control (lemmy.world)

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...

You want fancontrol

Try installing lm-sensors via your distros package manager then running sensors. Can just google how to setup fancontrol as well

CoreCtrl might also work.

CoreCtrl is mid TBH. Not much granular control. Doesn't auto adjust so you have to apply every startup.

Fancontrol and lm-sensors don't work because they can't find my fans...
