Omen 15 dh0010nl CPU temperature over 97°C

[LucaMagnino95]

Hi, my laptop easly reach high CPU temperature, like 97°C+, playing games or use graphic programs.
I tried undervolting CPU using ThrottleStop but I obteined few effect on temperature and somethimes when i used more than one monitor on same times, I get Kernel Power error from windows.

How can I limit temperature and avoid throttling?

Click here for steps to resolve overheating issues, you could try reducing the resolution on the in-game settings and switch the windows settings to performance rather than visual effects to make a minor change, however, the game may heat up your PC, hence make sure you are using a cooling pad as well, to be on a safer side.

Here's how you change windows settings:

• Go to Start Menu > click on Settings.
• Type performance > choose to Adjust the appearance and performance of Windows.
• In the new window, go to the Visual Effects and select Adjust for best performance.
• click Apply and Ok...this should do the trick.

I must let you know that its normal for a gaming PC to heat up, and with an Intel CPU such as the one you have, there's nothing to worry about, for details on why you don't need to worry: Click here to go through the CPU specifications, look under Tjunction of the CPU, it supports up to 100°C.

If you don't find options to throttle the device on your Omen Command Center, I'm afraid it is not supported.

I solved this problem replacing thermal paste.

When I removed heatsink I found too much paste, I clean all with pure alcohol and smeared less thermal paste (arctic mx-4).

Now when CPU run with turbo at 4.5GHz it reach 88-90 °C and it keep temperature between 65-80 °C playing games or rendering videos.

It seems works better because keeps more high clock (2.9-3.5GHz) in stressed situations, even more clock on GPU

@LucaMagnino95 Although, we don't recommend making changes on a thermal paste level, I'm glad you've got that sorted,
And I wish you the best ahead.
