Tied to a mammoth 8GB of GDDR5 memory and utilising the same Kepler GK104 processor that drives some of the best desktop GPUs, the promise of a high-end PC experience in a laptop is more potent than ever.

It's the MSI GT70 2PC Dominator with a Nvidia 870m and Core I7 running Windows 10.Right now, the Nvidia GTX 880M graphics chip is the most powerful hardware of its kind available for gaming notebooks. Should I not be turning it on manually and running it at it's full 5800RPM? Would resetting the CMOS settings be recommended? I've never taken apart a laptop so I was nervous about doing it, but I have built desktops before. Is there software or a bios setting that could somehow be interfering with the fan? I just don't understand why sometimes it will work all day and other times it won't work. I generally take great care of my laptop, and I've been using a giant Coolermaster fan plugged in underneath to help keep it cool for 3 years. I continued to have sporadic problems for the next week (leaving my computer in sleep mode and coming back to it would leave my fan not turning on half the time), and found that shutting down the computer completely for a few hours and then turning it on worked almost always. I went to bed after shutting my laptop down and when I tried it the next day the fan worked perfectly all day after turning it on manually. I normally turn the fan on manually from the button above the keyboard rather than wait for it to turn on due to high temps. I immediately quit the game, turned off the laptop, and cleaned the ducts with compressed air, but after turning it back on the fan still did not turn on. My laptop is about 3 1/2 years old and has always worked flawlessly for gaming, but a couple weeks ago my fan started not working while in the middle of a gaming session. Hey guys, I'm really hoping someone can help me with a fan issue I've been having for the last couple weeks.
