    Hi All,

    Have just bought MSI laptop and have questions on the fans performance. Based on Dragon Center, it seems both fans are working at maximum level of ~6000rpm; however, I noticed that the air blow (when I felt it with my hand) was not the same between those 2 fans. The left fan (when I face the monitor), blows harder than the right one (despite same rpm).

    Is it normal or is there any faulty on the laptop that I need to be aware off?

    Thanks - appreciate in advanced for the kind suggestion/consideration on this matter.

    I'm not sure if it's true, but the fans in the GP series work that way.
    MSI has compromised a heat pipe from the CPU and gave an extra pipe for the GPU so it cools properly. The CPU and GPU also share a heat pipe in common, giving the GPU extra cooling capabilities.
