    you can check some detailed review on notebookcheck, it seems GE72 don't have such a noise problem compare to AS 17". also MSI comes with one design called SHIFT can goes to easier loading set.

    For all 17.3" MSI notebooks, the GT72 are the quietest.

    In 17.3" by MSI they offer the GP, GS, GE, and GT series. Out of those, under full load anyway, the GT is the quietest.

    Under normal usage scenario, the GE72 is acceptable with minimal noise, but when it's under max load then the fan will create louder sound to dissipate heat.
