Omen 15 really overheating

[tobias4]

Hello i have my OMEN 15-ce0xx for 1 year and now it started to overheat.

First when i got it (1 year ago) i played games without having the charger plugged, because when i played with a plugged charger i was dumb, and was scared of 70c 😕 3 Months ago i started playing charger-only and the heat was 70-75. good. But now when i play games like Team Fortress 2 Lowest graphic settings, the heat builds up to 89celsia... sometimes 90. I have no pets

Please help me, what should i do? Is 90celsia okay? (cpu 90c and graphic card 56c)

1. Clean your fans and vents with canned compressed air, maybe there is a lot of dust in your laptop.

2. Open the Omen Command Center and set the fan Speed to Max while gaming. See if that helps with the temperatures.

3. Try undervolting the CPU via Intel Extreme Tuning Utility or Throttlestop. There are plenty of guides out there on how to do that. You can decrease CPU temperatures by up to ~10 Degrees Celsius by that. Also, undervolting is completely safe so don't be afraid, you really can't mess that up if you follow the guides.

4. You seem to be still under warranty. Maybe you can send your Laptop to HP to repaste the thermal compound.

5. Use a Laptop cooling pad. This should help reduce temperatures by ~3-5 Degrees Celsius.

Also, 90 Degrees max temperature is not great, but not dangerous either. Your CPU is fine as Long as it runs under 95 Degrees under heavy load over longer stretches of time.

Also, you should be gaming while plugged-in, otherwise, you won't be able to unleash the full performance due to power throttling.

Thanks for the help ^^

tried undervolting with throttlestop and intel extreme tuning utility but it was worse than before

Use EITHER Intel OR Throttlestop. So if you have both installed, uninstall both of them (make sure it's a clean uninstall), reboot your system and then install only one of them and try undervolting again.

Also, make sure that you are actually undervolting (so the voltage offset has to be negative).

Temperatures shouldn't increase with undervolting if the cooling hasn't changed. What is possible however is that due to the undervolt, your CPU is able to run at higher clockspeeds. Check if that is the case. Higher clock speeds might increase the temperatures as compared to before, but it also will increase performance.

I did watch lot of vids and tried to do something with the intel extreme tuning utility, it didn't work so i reseted it to normal. then i downloaded throttlestop and did like alot of things saved them and now i want the settings back but i can't remember it

i did uninstall both of them - now i will restart

also i feel like my laptop is slower

When you use Throttlestop, only adjust the settings as shown in the screenshot. Choose a moderate undervolt at first, like -0.080 just like I did here. Don't Forget to click on "save voltages immediately"at the bttom right.

Then, run "TS Bench" in Throttlestop and look at both the temperatures and the clock Speed.

Please make sure the CPU Core and CPU Cache have the same undervolt. For some CPUs, this is necessary to make the undervolt work.

thanks i edited it same as the screenshot

i have the CPU core and CPU cache at 0.000
