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…

    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.

        That might be true…

        I found a solution, I compiled the program on my Arch distro and installed it on Nobara. But it couldn’t read anything since the ec_sys module was missing so I sorta just gave up.

      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
