New Compatible for MSI GS65 GS65 GS65VR WS65 P65 MS-16Q1 MS-16Q2 MS-16Q3 MS-16Q4 MS-16Q5 Series 16Q2-CPU-CW CPU Cooling Fan

The fan came, as another review stated, it's smaller than the stock fan.It gets 2 stars because it does blow out air, however it has a high pitched whine & it has no variable controls for speed, it's either 0% or 100%

So the Fan is compatible with the GS65 8RF 2018 I have and that's why you get more than 1 star. It can save you from a not working computer. In fact, I also bought the double fan for the GPU which was the one making a horrible noise in my case. However, the blades of this spare part are thicker and the diameter is smaller. Fan speed drops from 6500 RPM to 4500 RPM in Coolerboost mode, and the airflow is considerably smaller. I tested this with both old and new CPU Fans and the temperature difference is of 10°C under heavy loads which is unacceptable for me. I wouldn't mind if the store sends me the fan-blades from their picture. :/The GPU Fans do the job, although the speed fans are smaller in contrast to the original, temperatures are ok since the GPU doesn't heat that much. The issue comes to the CPU one when on heavy loads. 1 point in favor is that is considerably quieter than the orignal.

Fan on my MSI GS65 went bad after 2 years of abuse, ordered & installed this and worked flawlessly as the original fans. Not sure what their lifespan will be but frankly the original fans did not have a great life so I doubt these will disappoint. Also got GPU fans from the same brand & seller, same story, works well.

It works and it fits. That's all you need to know. Now if this laptop could be a half centimeter thicker and have some proper ventilation maybe I wouldn't need to replace the thing every year.

After a few months of usage the fan again started making noise and wouldn't achieve full RPM. Had to replace it again.

If you're looking at this fan, you know why you need it. Your GS65 Stealth is making a horrible buzz. This is a drop-in replacement, and it works. If you have small enough hands, you can even replace it without taking apart the entire cooling assembly and reapplying thermal paste, which I managed to do.

I've had this for a few months now with no issues after the bearing went out on the stock fan. This was for my MSI GS65 laptop. As one of the other reviewers said, the max rpm is slightly less than the factory one, but I haven't had any issues because of that.

Installed new fan to my MSI GS65 stealth laptop.Easy to install overall. Fan is quiet and works great.
