    I can't seem to adjust the fan control in MSI AB, no option in settings to allow it either, however I can control the fan speed using a different software called Silent Option but it would be great if I can use fan control in AB since I'm using it to OC the GPUs.

    Is MSI AB doesn't support fan control for notebooks?

    Specs:

    6820HK
    GTX 980M SLI
    Windows 10 Pro

    Since you provide no hardware info how do you expect anyone reading to know where to start? And my best guess is that software doesn't work for laptop it's more likely for Desktop GPU control only.

    On notebook fan control is a hit or miss.

    Oh well, still got Silent Option for fan control and it works great, was kind of hoping to use AB as 2-in-one software.
