MSI Vector GP77 13V review – quiet and powerful

MSI Center

The MSI Center is a useful program that can be used to fine-tune the laptop. One of the features is the Cooler Boost option that ramps up the fans to max RPM. You can also use them in Auto Mode or set a custom fan curve. The last screenshot is showing the max possible RPM for the CPU and GPU fan.

You can also control the RGBs.

If you like to tune your laptop, you can extract the maximum possible performance using the MUX switch, overclocking the GPU, and applying the Extreme performance preset. Or you can just monitor the temperatures of the internals. The MSI Gaming mode could be useful for some of you because it automatically switches to Extreme mode, it can disable the touchpad, and some memory can be freed as well alongside other optimizations. Custom settings can be set per game which is nice.

MSI could have done a better job with the Fan Speed panel UI design if they had labeled everything in Chinese. At least then we could use a translator. All of the fan speed sliders are in percent%, there is no use of actual temp C or F, yet each slider has a specific temp range that it operates within. So to help with that, MSI gave us a blue to red color bar (see pics above). One can also tell that they put absolutely no effort into this panel because there is no “Apply” button. You must press “Save”… Read more »

…basically just use the Fan Speed panel to set all sliders to 150%. This will keep fans pinned to max regardless of CPU/GPU temps. Use that for gaming. When you use “Cooler Boost” the fans speed will still be tied to temp ranges.
