Hi! I just bought a MSI GF63 Thin, but I’m having issues with the fan. The computer is quiet, but around every 10-20 seconds the fan turns on for a few seconds before it goes back to “normal”. It’s driving me crazy. The computer is completely new and I have only downloaded a few Sims 4 games. It does this all the time, even right now when I’m just using reddit. Something must be wrong, right? The computer is louder than my old pc that had more games and less space…

Windows 11 home, core i5-12450H, 16 GB RAM, 512 GB SSD.

    Sorry to tell you this is normal for the GF63. MSI is notorious for significantly cutting corners when making their cheaper gaming laptops and the GF63 is the worst of them. There are common build issues like if you pull the screen all the way back the keyboard deck starts to snap off (JarrodsTech showed this one) and its hinges are known to break early. Honestly there more than likely is a better deal out there that we could discuss if you’re still in the return window as this year the GF63 was overpriced.
