    Hello,
    I've got a GS60 6QE and I'd like to reduce fan noise.
    I found on this topic ( https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=268388.0) that I can use Vortex Dragon Gaming Center to manage fan speed for my laptop.
    Is it true ?
    Thanks in advance,

    Just try - I use Dragon Center on my dead old GT70 0NE which by default has no xx.center software. I'm on Win8.1 and run Dragon Center Win10 for GT73VR without problems. Naturally it doesn't support everything as planned but the fan control works faultlessly.

    I just tried. A lot of features are supported (like fan control) but my CPU is 10°c warmer than before :(

    There is nothing in Dragon Center that causes higher temps. Check if the temperature shown is right - compare to other monitoring programs. Then the power settings and fan speed - lower fan means higher temperatures and max performance instead of balanced/power saving , too.
