Heat, Noise, and MSI GS40 Phantom 6QE Battery LifeThe GS40 Phantom is average in terms of heat and noise output. We’re still talking about a laptop here, so engineers are limited in what they can do to improve cooling performance in a limited space, but the GS40 isn’t the best gaming laptop I’ve seen in this segment.
There are two small fans inside the GS40, connected to a small radiator and heat pipe, to cool the 45W CPU and 75W GPU respectively. Although there are two fans and heatsinks, the two halves of the cooling solution are actually connected by a single heat pipe. There’s only one vent on the CPU side, with air coming out directly from the back, while the GPU side sees air coming out of the back and right side. In both cases, the air intake is only on the bottom, so blocking the bottom of the laptop is not a good idea.
The combined heat load of 120W allows the GS40 to achieve warm but not unreasonable surface temperatures. During sustained gaming sessions, the keyboard temperature did not exceed 41°C, dropping to around 37°C near the left gaming keys, which is about what I would consider the limit of comfortable gaming.
The cooling performance on the bottom of the laptop is not very good. The CPU and GPU have two different hotspots that can easily exceed 60°C during load, and you definitely don’t want to touch either of these if you’re gaming on your lap. Fortunately, this heat is well dissipated through the rest of the case and the cooling solution, so most temperatures on the bottom are at or below 45°C.
Thermal and noise performance are good when idle, with the laptop typically turning off its fans to passively cool the CPU and GPU. With the 45W CPU passively cooled, temperatures are around 36°C or lower across much of the laptop body, but there are a few hot spots and the fans kick in once you try slightly more intensive workloads.
The dual-fan cooler’s noise distribution during load is similar to that of a jet engine, like most gaming laptops with small fans for cooling. In the case of the G40, however, the fans aren’t that loud or annoying, and you can easily hear them through the gaming audio from your laptop speakers. Don’t get me wrong – the cooling solution is certainly noisy, and the laptop’s speakers aren’t particularly powerful – but it doesn’t have the harsh high-pitched whine of competing laptops, which helps reduce the cooler’s annoyance factor.
