Product: HP Omen 15 DC0106tx
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Bought HP Omen 15 DC-0106tx (i7-8750h + GTX 1060 + 16 GB RAM) 6 months ago. 

 

Was initially satisifed with the performance though the laptop would get pretty hot (and loud too). Then i realized that the performance in games this laptop gave me is 10-20% less than other GTX 1060 laptops. Gpu temps get to 91 C and Cpu would get to 97 c while gaming hence both throttle. Undervolted my Cpu cache and core to -0.125 mv. Also, reduced my cpu tdp to 25W in bios, still no good. Any other ways to solve this or should i repaste??

Updated the OCC. No effect. I also tried Gpu undervolting to no success.

 

Seriously, this laptop gets very hot, fans are also very loud yet the performance is lacking a lot. WIth this cpu would fail prematurely.HP should be making proper thermal solutions for a gaming laptop, not for heating machines.

That's correct it should have had little or no effect.

 

It was just a prerequisite.

 

Then make sure the BIOS is upto date.

 

INSTALL:

 

HP Firmware Pack (Intel Processors)

Version: F.07 Rev.A

Fixed in this release: - Provides enhanced security. NOTE: HP strongly recommends transitioning promptly to this updated BIOS version which supersedes all previous releases.
- Provides improved system stability.

 

Version: F.06 Rev.A

Fixed in this release: - Fix an intermittent issue which causes input from the keyboard to be lost. - Provides support system Comfort Mode which lowers CPU and GPU temperatures.
NOTE: OMEN Command Center must be updated to version 6.2 (or later) from Microsoft Store with this system BIOS release to get full support for system Comfort Mode.

Fixed in this release: - Updates the thermal control algorithm to improve the system thermal condition.

I owned the 2018 version (i7-8750H, 1070 Max-Q). Due to the bad cooling system design, there's nothing you can do.

 

I repaste the CPU thermal paste with Liquid Metal, with the Comfort Mode I get 75 degrees while heavy gaming.

 

Since the GPU doesn't overheating, I repaste it with normal CoolerMaster thermal paste.

 

But my CPU still gets overheating under the Perfoemance Mode.
