It's a MSI-GF65 Thin which has excellent cooling. However with TB enabled both Ubuntu & Windows randomly starts a process (usually updates) which hits the CPU hard and consequently all the fans spin up. At base clock, I see no visible loss in performance and a much quieter workstation. The performance loss in compilation is offset by continuously compiling (watch) which I can do with TB disabled but not with TB enabled. For gaming, I limit the turbo boost to 3.2Ghz and get a more consistent performance with no sudden drops.
