When it comes to keeping cool under pressure, the GE63 does a decent job. Its CPU temperature of 86°C under load is a touch higher than some others but is in the same ballpark. Meanwhile, it’s idle temperature of 42°C is comfortably below its main rivals.

As for GPU temperatures, these are even more impressive with this being the coolest of the three laptops we’re directly comparing here.

When it comes to noise, inevitably things are fairly loud under load but the tone of the fans isn’t too whiny or annoying. Meanwhile, when idling the machine is impressively quiet – so it is another positive area for MSI.
