If you need to use a notebook in a quiet environment, a gaming notebook should be your last choice.
Some good choices would be: Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut Thermal Paste or IC Diamond Thermal Compound and for the pads: Fujipoly Extreme Thermal Pads.īut no matter what you do, the fact will remain: Gaming notebooks are louder than regular notebooks. This can lower the operating temperature of your CPU and dGPU so your fans won't need to run as fast, but it will cost money to have this done. You could pay an experienced computer tech to disassemble your notebook's cooling system and replace the factory thermal compound and pads with higher quality stuff.
You can control the cooling fan profiles via the MSI Dragon Center software but you have to be careful not to let your CPU or dGPU get too hot or you may damage them and/or other components in your notebook. But, as far as I'm aware, you cannot undervolt the dGPU in a notebook (but you can slow down its clock). You can undervolt the CPU with Intel's XTU software (eXtreme Tuning Utility) but you have to be careful not to undervolt too much or your notebook will be become unstable and all kinds of problems can happen. That way the CPU and dGPU won't get so hot. You should immediately see that it needs to be able to read sensor values and send signals to fans sensor chip makers are really secretive about how to address them, and hardware makers do their own shonky stuff, but if your particular sensor/fan configuration has been reverse-engineered enough that it works with lm-sensors then fancontrol will work well.If the problem occurs when you're gaming, the easiest thing to do is to turn down the quality settings for your games.
This is a simple service that reads values from your temperature sensors, looks up your preferences from a text file, then sends a signal to your fans. In the absence of that, or if the hardware fan curves aren't to your liking, you can have software control of your fans with the appropriately-named fancontrol. If your computer came with Windows, and the manufacturer has some application to harvest that sweet, sweet, user data that they want to encourage you to use, then they may have turned off hardware control by default, but if they aren't too user-hostile there will be a way to turn it on in your UEFI setup. The best way to control the fans is to have the hardware do it.
