MSI GS60 6QE (Ghost Pro 4K) Skylake Laptop Review

The tests were performed in a controlled air conditioned room with temperatures maintained at a constant 23c – a comfortable environment for the majority of people reading this.Idle temperatures were measured after sitting at the desktop for 30 minutes.

Load measurements were acquired by playing Tomb Raider for 30 minutes and measuring the peak temperature. All fan settings were left on automatic.

The MSI GS60 6QE is a reasonably cool running laptop, even though it is very slim from front to back (20mm at thickest point). The dual fans inside the chassis work reasonably hard under load, but under moderate load, or when idle, they spin very slowly or disable completely.

We attached five diodes to the underside of the chassis and played a game for 45 minutes. We took measurements of the chassis at this point. We can see that the two hotspots are next to the cooling system – which actively cools both GPU and CPU inside. The other parts of the chassis remain cool thanks to the generous air flow. If you are gaming for many hours at a time we would advise using the GS60 on a table. If you want to game with the Ghost Pro on your lap, then investing in something like this would be a good idea.
