[@m1murph1]

I got the HP Omen with the 8750H and RTX 2070MQ, was getting CPU temps around 89 in performance mode, added a .110 undervolt and now I'm getting a high temp of 81, very happy so far.

[@camtwan1]

I had problems with anything under load going to 90-100C. Everything was fixed when I changed the thermal paste to thermal grizzly hydronaut. Now I rarely hit 90 on ultra settings. Also use hydronaut, it may not be the best temperature wise, but it will prevent a seep out effect. It's slightly annoying to take it all apart, but just film yourself doing it so you won't forget any screws and have to take it apart twice like I did

[@KyVirgo23]

I bought this laptop after hours of research and I'm SOOO happy with it. I don't consider myself a gamer, per se, but I do play from time to time and I'm really impressed. Your review gave me great ideas on how to make it even better.

does it heat up ? and is it as noisy as they say ?

[@carllequin6604]

@@BATOOLESK yes but it also depends at the graphics of the gaming you using at . cause i try playing in high graphics in gta V and the temperatures raise up to 88 or 90 temp but after adjusting the graphics it doesn't heat up anymore but you can still hear the fan noise but not that loud.

For those hesistant on this laptop ive had it for over a year now, for sure get rid of mcafee its an overall great laptop if your biggest worry is the cpu temp I lowered the laptops use to comfort in the omen command center (pre installed on the laptop) and even with the laptop in comfort at all times i see extremely nice frames and would recommend this laptop to anyone for this price its great just keep in mind the average build quality p.s. i have ran this laptop with a monitor and the highest temps i reached playing a game on comfort mode was 90 for the cpu.

Has everything you could want at this price point. Screen is the only real weakness. But again. It’s fine for the the price point and I play on my 55” LG OLED whenever I’m home anyways. It’ll even run some games at 4k pretty decently.

What all is considered bloatware and how do you uninstall it?

[@chrisbee21]

i7 8750h is a hot chip. Want it to run cooler? Open Hp Omen's BIOS settings, reduce CPU power to 35watts. If for some reason you bought this laptop for another purpose than gaming, you can keep CPU temps below 70 deg C even after full load (sacrifice performance) by disabling CPU boost. Go to power management, edit advance power options, set maximum cpu state to 98 percent (default 100% will allow boost). Again, this is only for those who want to reduce temp of CPU at the cost of performance. For gamers, you'd have to accept the nature of i7 8750H. In a laptop, it will run hot.

I got the newer "Costco edition" of this laptop a few months ago... the x2s-15, has a secondary touch enabled screen, i7 9750, 16g rtx-2070 max-q, 24g ram, terabyte hdd, 256g ssd, 240hz main monitor, and it's factory setup with thermal grizzly liquid metal thermal compound on the cpu. My perifs are a Samsung 27" smart tv, HyperX Alloy mech wired keyboard w/ cherry mx-blues (I like clickey), Logitech g502 wired mouse, Logitech c-920 pro camera, cheap USB mic, avermedia lgp2+ cap card for my ps4, etc. So far I love it and I have no regrets. I stream/game 6-8 hours every day and 12-16 hours on the weekends. I stay under 80°c for the cpu temp running most games on ultra. I love the main monitor. It's small but so smooth and crisp, great refresh/response, and amazing color... I use it for my gameplay and the Samsung for streamlabs and discord. My only wish is that it had an extra displayport option, more USB 3.0 ports, and maybe stronger construction on the hinge which has quite a bit of flex to it. All in all, I would buy it again. I needed something I could take on trips, but also stream and game with...and besides having to use 2 USB hubs to get all my perifs connected, it has met all expectations. 4.5 stars IMO.

[@pauloazuela8488]

This is good but it has a lot of cons than the helios 300 plus the build quality of the helios is metal. It is advisable to undervolt the cpu and reapply the thermal paste.

Paulo Azuela But what if i get the expensive omen with 1Tb hard disk+256 SSD, and 32 Gb of RAM, and i7 processor with 2.6Ghz, and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 with 8 GB memory, and the battery capacity of 69WHr.... Will it be better? Because i can get this from a known store in our country but if i get the Predator Helios i will have to get it from amazon shipped internationally to our country and i don’t know how the warranty works, i don’t think that it has a warranty.. the acer predator i cant find it in the store that i talked about, but its available in carrefour and i don’t really like dealing with carrefour, cuz they doubled the price of a regular Predator so i feel like they’re scamming us.

[@jily0975]

its me if the product is truly genuine they will give you factory/manufacturer's warranty, so you can claim it at its service center near to your location. Definitely the price will rising if the product enter you country due to taxes and shipping. Cheers!

[@grave_posiedon3666]

I have this and the g card gets to 85-90c after an hour of gaming in a room that has a temp of 63F. Gonna use that warranty already. Also In a lot of games it takes a really long time for textures to loadS

Quick question regarding removing the bloatware. Reinstalling a clean Windows OS sounds easy enough and removes all the bloatware by nature, but what about the proprietary tools like the Command Center to control the lights and performance? Do those not have to be installed separately after a clean install?

[@NomadFW]

After a clean install, you will need to reinstall these programs. Just go to the driver web page of HP and search for your model. There is a software package called: Omen command center.

[@lunarsoul2721]

Should I get this or the acer predator helios 300?

[@daniellu7979]

I prefer helios 300

Good review. I need a new laptop so this helps with my options. Can you do more phone comparison videos? Your really honest in your reviews, and everyone else is biased because of the apple vs. Android thing. I just want to know what the best smartphone is.

[@GizmoSlipTech]

Currently, I'm posting my smartphone comparisons on my main channel GizmoSlip, but I may post some on this channel as well. We'll see. So for now, just be sure to be subbed to both channels.

Hey Giz, thanks for the reviews.love your work. I am buying to use for blender. I doubt blender will tax the CPU too much, but blender renders with GPU. Do you have any advice on this? RTX 2060 vs GTX 1070 or 1080 is somewhere around my question. Blender actually have bench marking files you can download, one called BMW. Along with the gaming tests you do a quick quote on the time it takes to render that benchmark would be so useful to everyone who works on the creative side. Thanks again. Chaz.

I have an HP Omen, and there’s no home key, just some stupid omen button I don’t want or use. And performance on battery is very ordinary even just using office applications even with performance slider all the way up.

For the CPU temperatures only have to do a undervolt and it will be much better. I say for my own expreience.

What are your thoughts on the Omen 17 (2019) 17-cb0050nr ? I mean it's 144hz IPS display with a 9th Gen i7-9750H AND a FULL friggin RTX 2080 for UNDER $2000 Bloatware aside (which can be corrected by a clean install), I'd like to see how well it performs benchmarks with its limited thermals compared to other RTX 2080 platforms that cost $500-$1000 more. I'd love to see a comparison with that unit against the RTX 2080 $2600 MSI GE75 that has the better cooling solution but with the older I7-8750H CPU to see if it's worth splurging the extra $600 on it instead.

I bought this simply for the 2 games I have now for PC, which is The Sims 4 and GTA 5. But I mod the crap out of both games and my $500 HP 3 year old laptop can no longer take it. It’s my first gaming laptop. I only have the most basic of ideas to keep it in good condition. Basically spray it down with compressed air to keep all the dust bunnies away and a cooling pad to keep it cool. Anyone got any other suggestions?

Would this particular model be able to be upgraded to the new 3000 series graphics cards without needing to replace any other components like the motherboard? I’m wanting to get the new 3060 once it’s released and upgrade my laptop. Mine currently has the rtx 2060.

Hello everyone and hello gizmo if your seeing this! I think another budget Gaming Laptop is the ROG Strix G. It has i7 9th Gen and a GTX 1650. The design is very nice and it has a LED under the laptop itself, it's very good! Please tell me what you guys think by replying to me! And it's also brand new it came out last week.

Could you please make a comparison between Helios 300 and omen 15? Also, the display on the laptops from Amazon for Omen with 2060, have a refresh rate of 60 hz. They can support an external monitor with 144hz though. Again, please do the comparison.
