So, few hours later after propper cleaning and repasting here are the results (same ambient temp): And I have only owned this laptop for over 1y. I have done many CPU and other chip swaps over my career and seen/used many kinds of thermal pastes over the time. In games I could feel thermal throttling and some visual artifacts.ģ) And the worst part - that was a really low quality thermal paste, it had become crumbly and lost viscosity. And then curiosity took over - I took it apart, removed the whole cooling unit and those were the observations:ġ) CPU paste coverage was almost OK, most of it had good contact, I'd say 4/5 of the whole area.Ģ) GPU was a disaster - you could clearly see that only about 1/3 of chip had ever had contact with thermal paste. Also idle CPU temp was quite high - around 62☌ idle, and well over 85☌ on 100% load after 5 minutes. Recently I became slightly annoyed by the noise it makes and how quickly it reaches high fan speeds on medium CPU and GPU loads. Up until purchasing OMEN, I had two "w" class Elitebooks and had no problems at all, one of them endured heavy CPU and GPU usage for almost 5 years.Īnd so came the OMEN, because I thought one can have a laptop powerful enough for games and durable enough for ant IT work, including some video editing and 3D. I must say HP has done utterly brilliant job at ****** (insert your preferred swear word here) OMEN laptops ant brand in one move. I don't think there will be any harm from this as such but if I'll notice something different I'll revert back to default. Let's see keeping this settings for some time. The GPU Diode temperature went running upto 81° on gaming and kept itself in bw 81-83° while the CPU temp didn't fluctuated a bit from 78☌. The idle CPU temperature dropped to 49° and GPU diode to 40☌. Though, the CPU utilisation and the fans speed increased than that was before. Well, I must let you know that after changing the maximum processor state from 99% (before) to 70%(after) during plugged in state from the power plan settings, the following changes were observed in the CPU and GPU temperatures:ĬPU temperature dropped drastically from above 95° to the stable 78☌ on gaming Fortnite on the same settings as before.

The ambient room temperature is around 25☌ on normal and can get upto 28° in the daytime. If you still aren't satisfied, You can also contact HP Support for a warranty issue. Going to msconfig can help check the startup apps. Make sure you don't have any unnecessary services or apps running in the background or on startup. This is from a screen shot when I had an Omen last year. It will give you the average,min and max (momentary peaks) temps and is very accurate, just for a comparison. Would a repaste help? Maybe, its been know to happen and might drop it a few degrees. My setup averages 38-40☌ but my room temp is 24☌ (76☏). So with that high of an ambient, you're not going to see 40° idle temps. Lots of factors can come into play to actually give each person a definite number. It will always be 15-30ish° or more depending on the situation. Hello really hard to say because the first problem I see is the fact that your ambient (room) temp is 35☌ (95☏).Ī computer cannot run as cool as the rooms temp.
