    Hi Everyone,
    I purchased this laptop recently.The GPU is awesome. I am able to play amy game that I throw to it in good graphics setting. But the issue is that that the laptop heats up significantly ~90 degrees.
    I tried using MSI afterburner and EVGA precision to increase the fan speeds but the fan control option itself is disabled.

    I can hardly hear the sound of the fan running so I am not sure whether the fan is running at its full speed.

    Are there any tools that I can use to monitor and increase my fan speeds.

    Please help

    You can't adjust the fan speeds in most laptops, looks like yours is one of them. There are other ways to reduce temperatures such as using a cooling pad and repasting. Unfortunately, so many laptop manufacturers just don't care and ship out overheating and throttling systems as the norm.
