Omen Command Centre not showing overclock options on Omen X pc.

[doodleb3gs]

Hello all,

So I have an OMEN X by HP 900-114na which is a pretty much top end Omen X.

I have installed Comand Centre and although it will let me configure lighting and show temps,  I see no option for overclocking or network.

Really not sure why as everything I can see online suggests I should be able to.

Anyone got any ideas on this?

Thanks!

@doodleb3gs, welcome to the forum.

From what I am being told by the appropriate people within HP, the Overclocking option is only available with the i7-8xxxK (8th generation) processors.  I have had 3 Omen desktops and have not had the option in any of them.

Please click the Thumbs up + button if I have helped you and click Accept as Solution if your problem is solved.

Hey there, thanks for that reply! Pretty weird that considering its a £3600 machine but there you go 😛 No big deal really just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing some other program that needed to be installed alongside 🙂

thanks!

You are welcome.  Thank you for the additional information, @doodleb3gs.

I hear what you are saying.

If you want to overclock your processor you can use Intel's Xtreme Tuning Utility.  It is basically a full version of the OC'ing app provided by HP.  If you haven't done a lot of OC'ing, you should take it slowly.  Too much, too fast, and you can damage the processor.  There are good guides online for the Utility.

Hey there, thanks for mentioning the Intel OC, I did see this being used in an HP video on youtube alond with some other tutorials, so I will give that a go (when my machine comes back from HP for the second time in a row for various repairs and quality control issues lol).

Thanks for everything 🙂

Are you actually telling this guy to use Intel overclocking software on AMD CPU

[old_geekster]

@qanon1111, NO!!  Did you actually look at the specs for the Omen X in question?  It has an Intel processor.

[qanon1111]

Oh NOOOOO

My HP Omen

880-015rz has the Ryzen 8 core Amd with Nvidia 1050 GTX

So you need to check your support packs

The option is availble to over clock I had to do a total reinstall and add the rar flag to system.sav

I had to use the original omen command center on my support page to get it to work regardless I have the Ryzen Command center for my Ryzen which gives options for memory as well.
