BestPartsNew Genuine CPU+GPU Cooling Fan Replacement for MSI GS65 Stealth Thin, P/N: MS-16Q2 MS-16Q3, 16Q2-CPU 16Q2-G-CCW (Note: Only fits ''Thin'' Series)

I replaced my CPU fan a little less than a year ago. Replaced my CPU fan more recently since it decided to go out as well. Both are running fine, just sound different from the original fans as expected. This is the only fan I could find through amazon that didn't look exactly like the others that had horrible reviews so I tried it out. My only concern is that the screw holes don't exactly line up but if you just force the screws harder than you would like it fits fine. Make sure to follow a youtube video while tearing down the PC so that you don't forget anything. The first time I took mine apart I had to try to start it by holding the power button around 7 times before it fully lit up the screen and ran.

Every thing is good, but of the weight, the fan speed will be reduced.

These fan replacements worked perfectly for my MSI P65 Creator. It effectively cools the laptop, but occasionally makes a "clunking" noise, as if it's hitting something. Despite this, it performs well and fits perfectly. Overall, a solid replacement with minor noise issues.

The gpu fan is not the same size as the original one used in the msi gs65 stealth and it does not fit in the laptop.

I replaced the OEM fans that were failing today with these new ones. Overall I am really happy. My laptop has not felt this cool to the touch under load in a LONG time. The fans fit my stealth perfectly. My temps are not hotter than before. As for ambient fan noise, I can't remember how quiet it was before as I had a failing fan for over a month now. I hope these keep going.The only installation difference I noticed was the power cables were a bit too long so I retaped them to keep the length on one side. And I didn't like the fan sticker covering up half the open vent on Fan 2 which I point to in the picture. I removed it and made a new tape cover that didn't cover any of the vent openings.

Being that there were no reviews and the design of these are different from factory I was skeptical but happily surprised at the build quality of these vs stock. Using dragon center the fans go higher than 5,000rpm which is really good i found that rdr2 1080p ultra with fans set to 100%, not above, that it was ranging 85 degrees on the Gpu and 88 on CPU which is huge for me as my gs65 would always be at 90 degrees and throttling. I’ll keep posted on longevity but it comes with a one year warranty so no real worries

I needed a better CPU fan since mine had started to get old and make noise. I found a video on how to replace it myself, and I was able to save hundreds by fixing it myself. It was a little difficult with a slight learning curve, but I was able to install this CPU fan and now I'm running games with little to no noise! Good, quality brand at a great price.

despite it's literally the first model listed in the title, it doesn't fit: you will have to manually (and burtally) remove a chunk of metal on the shell, otherwise the shape doesn't fit in. Also, the screw hole is small and off the position, the original screws in laptop doesn't fit in, they don't provide new screws either. The entire installing process was painful.
