Hi all, I have noticed a small issue with my GE62-6rf-apache pro notebook. I have had this notebook for about 2 months now, I bought it brand new and have absolutely loved it and still do. However i have encountered a couple issues that are not necessarily serious but i would like to know if there is a fix.

1. When i first purchased the laptop, the keyboard would always light up within seconds of turning the power button on, but now the keyboard does not even light up until i've signed into windows, and then usually about 20-30 seconds         after signing in the screen auto-adjusts brightness and the keyboard lights up.

2. My second issue is the more serious of the two. I remember loving this notebook because how quiet it was. I would be able to sit in the quiet section of the library and do my school work and you would not have even know that the              laptop was on because of how quiet it was. But now it has just started becoming loud as if the fan is going like 3,000 rpms while idling and doing nothing and is very audible. This frustrates me because even though the fans are set to          0%, it is on and I am given no option or setting to change this. 

Lastly I would just like to say that I do not use this notebook for gaming. I uninstalled most of the bloatware that came with the computer immediately upon purchasing like Norton 360, the WTFast whatever, basically everything besides the MSI software that i only kept because i read that it can cause a bunch of errors. I have disabled pretty much all of the Microsoft setting for my privacy and all the live tiles, all the bogus software. I keep organized and have only used about 46 gigabytes of my 237 gigabytes available SSD. My HDD is only using 21 gigabytes of 913 gigabytes available. This notebook used only for my schoolwork and for stock trading, and contains basically no other software besides google chrome, SSE3, MSI softwares, and default software like notepad. This notebook has probably never even reached a maximum degrees of 55C and stays around 26C-39C, 99% percent of the time. This laptop should not be experiencing any troubles what so ever so any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you so much if you actually read all of this.
 
I list the behaviors as below.

1. System needs to wait the application (Like Dragon Center or SteelSeries Engine).

2. The fan speed is controlled by EC and it needs minimum voltage for starting. Therefore, you will see 3,000 rpm when fan starts running.


3. At least, you should keep [SCM] and [Dragon Center] for system.
 
Oh okay, I went in and was able to change the task so that dragon center turned on during boot. But do you think it is possible to lower the voltage? because i know for certain that before i did the EC update, the fan was never this loud just during idle and when using it under light loads. Thank you for the response
 
Do you hear any crackling sound/strange noise from fan?

Fan speed is decided by system temperature. You could try to clean dust for thermal module for reducing more heat.
 
Hi there,

No, there is no noise or crackling coming from the fan or computer, its only a month old, brand new laptop so I am not too concerned about there being dust or hair or anything. My  laptop also does not ever exceed 40 degrees Celsius and it mainly stays around 31-37 Celsius. The fan is just so audible, sounds like it is atleast 3200 RPMS, from the second it turns on until it turns off, even if the computer was lower than 20 degrees Celsius. It is beyond unnecessary and very excessive for the fan to be constantly at this rate. I think that updating the EC is what caused this. Since i do not want to screw around with undervolting, is there any way that I can download the previous EC version, or is it even safe to flash older EC versions? I would like to fix this problem as soon as possible, thank you.
