Make a hole in the glasspanel. Is it allowed considering warrenty?

[Fallfield]

Hey my Omen 30L is extremly hot to the degree it throttles and the pc gets to slow.
Can i make a hole in the glass panel to install a fan or 2? 

The pc is actually "broken" since its just 2 months old and throttles to the degree it slow considerable down and becomes a much less powerfull pc than advertised. 
Im guessing Hp cant do something about it. 
The PC is elevated and not in a hot room. Not full of dust and such. All fans (2 chassie and cpu fan) is working normal.
Gpu fan only runs at 2350rpm wich is normal, but to low. Throttles..
I see that putting it to 3000rpm helps much. (afterburner. 3000rpm is normal for other 3080ti cards)
Cpu temp is way to high.

There are a couple things you can try before doing any case mod.  

Go into the BIOS and disable hyperthreading.  

You probably have enough cores to run your game there's no need to double up a single core to run two things

 https://pcguide101.com/cpu/do-games-use-multiple-cores/

avoid using the highest multiplier when in turbo speed that is done by adjusting the max performance to 95%

change both the 100 to 95.  Download and install CPUZ to verify you're not running at the highest multiplier

you can drill acrylic but not glass.   before making any cuts in metal the motherboard needs to be removed and the case carefully cleaned  of metal bits afterwards

I assume your system looks like the following

you can replace the front fan with a higher performance one and do the same on the back.   you can also add a second fan in tandem on the back,  use machine screws 40-50mm long with nuts and attach directly to the back of the case just make sure both blades spin  in the same direction to pull air out.

You may have to space the fan out with washers so the blades don't touch the metal when spinning

Unfortunately I don't see any fan mounting holes in the top of the case.  See if you can mount a fan underneath using cable ties or a pair of thin screws that with  washers that fit through the air holes.  If you put the fan or fans on top be sure to use a fan grill

I would do the following before drilling through glass

wow that was a huge answer xD Tnx! 

Yes its the same layout AS the PC you linked.

Ofcourse its not glass, so its safe to cut a Hole.

Only consern is the warrenty, or "reklamasjon" as we call it in Norway. Btw we allways get 5 years warrenty.

Hm duel exhaust was a good idea.

Any chanse to spin up the front fan? Maby with a fancontroll? Havent tried one before.

Allso a warrenty thing..

I asked Elkjøp, the largest store in Norway, they say its safe to replace the cpufan, buuut i want to hear it from HP.

Im gonna call HP on Monday and ask.

According to the HP parts store it is glass or that is the name of the replacement part: "left side glass".  See this thread

For warrantee the OEM wants the part returned like it was when bought.  If you have eVga GTX-1070 with two fans and replaced the two fans with the eVga Hybrid kit, then you need to put the two fan cooler back on.  However an entire computer is different.  Depending on what went wrong they may actually repair the system.  Cost wise it is normally cheaper to replace it immediately and then sell the used one as refurbished using a 3rd party.  In this case they do NOT want a hole in the case even if there is a really custom fan grill covering the hole that make it look like a killer gaming case.

The case I looked at (above) had an ordinary case fan in the back.  You might consider getting a Corsair closed liquid cooling system.  They make one with a single radiator that fits where the rear fan is.  You will have to research the wattage to ensure it can dissipate the CPUs heat.  A big benefit is the fan noise. 

You may find that setting the %CPU MAX down to 95 may be all that is needed.  That worked for me on a dual Xeon that ran hot even with liquid cooling.  Some HP systems do not allow hyperthreading to be disabled but it is worth checking.  If your computer game uses "6 cores" it may actually be using only 3 cores with the other 3 being threads in the same cores.  Disabling hyperthreading spread the game threads out over all the cores with less likelihood of overheating a core.
