Want to find out how many fans are there for Nvidia graphic cards:

50 series
40 series
30 series

Does it depend on the brand as well like MSI Thin, Cyborg, Sword, Katana, Stealth, Vector, Titan series, Acer Predator & Nitro series, HP Victus, Lenovo Legion series?

Coz I asked 1 shop selling MSI, that sales assistant told me the MSI Thin series laptops all have 2 fans but the shop that dedicated selling MSI told me Thin series has 1 fan, Katana series has 2 fans... so how do I check whether the laptop has 1 fan or 2 fans WIHTOUT opening the laptop from the bottom (and risk breaking and void warranty sticker)

Best to check online reviews from sites like notebookcheck, or even youtube

there's no fixed amount, it depends on the designers of the laptop, and what they decide to put

but a guess would be to see how many vents it has? though my laptop has 3 vents but 2 fans, the right side fan vents to 2 outputs

You want Cool?
dont BUY fancy Gaming laptop.

FAN is cheap.


let said you have budget 5K.
get the highest spec in this PRICE, dont care the cooling, brand, RGB..


Best spec you can get.

Turn off Turbo
Downclock GPU

make it -20% from MAX perf.
you get the coolest laptop in this range.


Not joking.
Unlike 20 years ago. Stock setting = 80% performance. that is why Overclock is so powerful 20 years ago
TODAY???? Stock Setting = 105% ~ 115% . STOCK! AUTO Turbo if possible. as turbo as possible.

Want to keep things cool??? IGNORE Stock setting, go back to 80% setting to totally Managable Temp.

Google search " "model name" teardown"... Most of popular/hot models got such teardown pictures of particular models online from review sites/YouTube

For rule of thumb, MSI gaming, avoid the lowest end Thin and Cyborg, both with one fan only

At least something like Sword/crosshair/Pulse (katana name already busuk so hard to recommend this line)

If enough high budget, more recommended to go with Vector/Raider/Titan, they shares very aggressive cooling fans system... Only con is very noisy at heavy loads

I will avoid stealth series because the cooling system may be compromised a bit because of thinner profile, but still same noisy

Fan count actually depends more on the laptop chassis than on the Nvidia series. Two Thin models can use the same GPU yet one has a single fan and the other has a dual-fan layout. The easiest way to check is to look up the exact model name on the manufacturer page since they list the cooling system in the specs or in the product photos. Retail staff sometimes mix this up, so checking the model number yourself is the safest way to know.
