MSI Sword 16 HX B14V fans not working

MSI Sword 16 HX B14V fans not working

Hi so i had bought my msi sword about a year and half ago today and i had recently opened the back up for the first time a week or 2 ago to clean the fans and i felt that it had started to feel hot and not come out as strong. However after i clean put it back together i realised that the vents at the side were giving out a very little amount of air as compared to before and most of the heat is comin out from the back. It feels extremely hot and the bottom of the laptop feels like its overheating to the touch. On top of that the fans suction on the bottom does not feel as strong as before and now im wondering if i had messed something up and if i should bring it to a repair centre or would i be able to settle it myself? i can send an image of the performance analysis if its useful

Lower than average?

I installed all the possible drivers and all windows updates and enabled extreme performance in msi center and and even with that all

I still get below average results

Am i dumb to ask if the rtx 4050 45w is the main problème or i am just crazy MSI THIN 15 B13VE

Best way to clean this?

So I rest my arm on this spot whenever I use my laptop, so it gets pretty dirty. I want to try and clean it often, but I'm not sure what the best method is. I saw someone suggest keyboard cleaning putty, but I've never used that stuff before, so I'd like to get some other thoughts.

I don't know what is happening and I need help to fix it

Whenever I open my laptop, it pulls up this menu and then sends me to the MSI click bios(?).

I have no clue what this even means nor how to fix it, I dunno what I even did to break it

Wifi drive adapter problems

Does anyone else keep having issues where, whenever any update at all happens, the wifi driver just tweaks and breaks? I've done EVERYTHING, literally EVERYTHING and nothing fixes it.

My Laptop Stopped Working, need help.

I have a MSI GF63THIN 11SC ,

I was using it yesterday, but when I turned it on today.

It got turned on but no keyboard keys or Mousepad was working.

So I forced shut down it(pressed power button for 5sec).

Now from then whenever I turn it on, there is no display output but, keyboard lights gets turned on(but keys not working)(I checked it by pressing Caps lock and the light on that button didn't turned on. Also there is button combination for keyboard light increasing or decreasing it's also not working)

Also it shuts down automatically after 20-30sec.

Help with Thermal Throttling on my laptop

I've been experiencing severe thermal throttling on my laptop recently and I'm looking for advice on how to fix or mitigate it.

Here are my specs and details:

* **Laptop Model:** MSI Katana

* **CPU:** Intel Core i7-12700H

* **GPU:** NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti

* **RAM:** 32GB

**The Issue:**

Whenever I am gaming, my CPU hits high temperature spikes, leading to heavy thermal throttling and performance drops.

**What I've tried so far:**

* I have already opened the laptop and fully repasted both the CPU and GPU.

* I've been trying to manage it using software tweaks like Quick CPU, adjusting Power Limits (PL1/PL2), and tweaking Windows power plans.

* Updated BIOS

Despite the repaste and the power limit adjustments, the system is still throttling under heavy load.

Thanks in advance for the help!

MSI Raider 16 Max HX B2WH-004US OLED 16" Gaming Laptop Computer

I bought this about 2 weeks ago. I have it plugged into a 2k monitor and am playing the Adventures of Elliott (not a super graphically intense game). My cpu while playing is sitting around 97 degrees C, which seems fairly hot or above toasty for a laptop.

I have it lifted onto a cooling pad from amazon, so fans and airflow shouldn't be an issue.

Is this normal? I changed the user scenario to cooler boost on extreme performance and the cpu temp drops to ~80 degrees but the fans are running extremely fast and loudly to do that.

Any advice is welcome; if it's normal, I'll worry less.

This thing sounds like a jet engine

Bought a vector 16 with the ryzen 9 and 5070ti about a month ago cause it was on sale at walmart and I needed something to game in hotels as I spend quite a bit of time at them. I exclusively game on a (somewhat old now) desktop with an rx6800 and apparently this laptop should give around the same performance.

It doesnt. And it sounds like a mf airplane taking off even as I type this in chrome in a cold ass hotel room in balanced mode.

I benchmarked it using cinebench (I think its fine) and it gets decent framerates in some games (not as good as I though it would) and stutters sometimes - but I will chalk that up to the hotel wifi and give it the benefit of the doubt. Point is I doubt I have a lemon.

I have read about the whole undervolt thing but I really do not have the ball knowledge for all that anymore - I have no clue what I am reading half the time nor how to access it. I am begging for instructions for my laptop processor model - most seem to be intel anyway - so that this thing isnt going 777 takeoff mode while browsing the internet - if that is even possible. I know the reviews said it was loud but this is pretty ridiculous. Any advice is appreciated. I dont mean to get under anyone's skin. Thank you.

Stealth 16 not charging via type c even with 100W charger

Have stealth 16 A13VF.

Clearly supports type c charging via 20v 5a charger.

Bought original dell charger type c 100W.

Only charges when laptop is switched off which is a bummer bcoz that works with a 65 watt mobile charger also anyway.

Any clues ? Tried exploring bios options and switching to integrated graphics only mode still no avail.
