    Maybe, maybe not. It depends on how MSI has implemented fan control. With the GPUs Acer ships they have been designed to work with PredatorSense, with other GPUs you might have to use third party apps to control fans speeds. Otherwise the 4060 should work, it doesn't pull all that much more power than the 2060 did.

    You should be able to use MSI Afterburner or FanControl (from github) to control fans.
