Benchmarks: Temperature and Noise
Given all the firepower that's under the hood, MSI appears to do well to keep temperatures in check. There is a caveat, however, in that fan noise is tremendous. Put the CPU under load, or start playing a game, and the laptop transforms from reasonably quiet to startlingly loud. The fan profile can be adjusted if you're willing to risk higher temps, but we suspect most users will prefer to don a pair of headphones.
