High CPU temp while playing games.

[rtfsvdgzbd]

Hello!

I have been the owner of an omen 15 gaming laptop for about 4 years now.Since today I have not experienced such high temps.While playing Minecraft the CPU gets to 90celsius usually higher.The laptop has been repasted by an hp service center and I have recently took the back cover off and blown the dust out but the temps are still really high.While I know that I shouldn't expect temps close to a regular desktop pc,I know that 90 degrees is way too high even for a gaming laptop.

I'm looking for help to reduce temperatures by atleast 10 degrees .I'll take any help!

Thanks in advance!

Hi @rtfsvdgzbd,

Welcome to the HP Support Community.
 

Thank you for posting your query. I will be glad to help you.

Thanks for the detailed info, you’re right, 90°C+ on the CPU while playing Minecraft is unusually high for an HP OMEN 15.6" Gaming Laptop PC 15-en1000 (2L1F2AV), especially after repasting and cleaning. Let’s work on reducing those temps by at least 10°C. Here’s a comprehensive plan:

1. Check and Optimize Power & Thermal Settings

🔹 OMEN Gaming Hub:

• Open OMEN Gaming Hub.
• Go to Performance Control → Set to Balanced or Cool mode.
• Enable Dynamic Power and Undervolting (if available).

🔹 Windows Power Plan:

• Go to Control Panel > Power Options.
• Select Balanced or create a custom plan with:
  • Processor power management → Max processor state: 90–95%

2. Improve Airflow & Cooling

🔹 External Cooling:

• Use a cooling pad with strong airflow (e.g., Thermaltake, KLIM).
• Elevate the rear of the laptop slightly to improve intake.

🔹 Internal Checks:

• Ensure fans are spinning freely.
• Consider replacing thermal pads if they’re worn out.

3. Clean Software Environment

• Disable background apps while gaming.
• Use MSConfig to disable unnecessary startup programs.
• Keep GPU drivers updated via HP Support Assistant or NVIDIA/AMD site.

4. BIOS & Firmware Updates

• Visit OMEN Laptop 15-en1962nz (3G0X1EA) Software and Driver Downloads | HP® Support.
• Check for BIOS updates, F.28 Rev.A, which may improve thermal management.

I hope this helps.

Take care, and have an amazing day!
