Hey good people! 👋 So I have some heat issues with my laptop running a few games on good old laptop . My issue is that my laptop overheats very easily. It’s a MSI PS63 Modern with a 1050ti graphics card. As of late I have recently wiped windows off my PC and have installed PopOS! Which I am very happy with! ✨ However, gaming makes the laptop so very warm I cannot even touch parts of the laptop. Currently trying to play Dragons Dogma Dark Arise, through Lutris. Which works and runs very well. But the heat is worrying.

The software I have tried, to customize the fans don’t find my fans though scans. On windows I used a built in program to make the fans go faster.

Any tips, suggestions of what to do?

Thanks in advance 🙏

    When was the last time you cleaned the vents? My laptop stopped blowing air out of the vents all together because it developed a solid layer of dust.
