Product: OMEN 16.1 inch Gaming Laptop PC 16-b0000 (2W6B3AV)
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 11

My Omen 16.1 has performed admirably for two years, but recently the fans have become excessively noisy, even when only a PDF is open in Chrome. Task Manager indicates only 6-10% CPU usage and 40°C in Omen Gaming Hub, yet the noise is quite disruptive. The loud fan noise makes it difficult to concentrate on my studies.

A professional cleaning was performed recently, but the issue persists.

Has anyone else experienced this? if so were you able to fix it?

Hi @youssef2019benh, Welcome to the HP Support Community! 

 

Thanks for reaching out about your query regarding laptop!  

We're thrilled to have the opportunity to assist you and provide a solution.

 

Try the following steps:

Check Background Processes

  • Open Task Manager (Ctrl + Shift + Esc) → Click on Processes.
  • Sort by CPU & Memory usage to see if anything is running in the background.

2. Adjust Power Settings

  • Go to Control Panel → Power Options → Set to Balanced or Power Saver.
  • Click Change plan settings → Change advanced power settings.
  • Under Processor power management, set Maximum Processor State to 99% (prevents Turbo Boost).

3. Modify Fan Settings in Omen Gaming Hub

  • Open Omen Gaming Hub → Performance Control.
  • Switch to Quiet mode and check if the fans slow down.

4. Update BIOS & Drivers

  • Go to HP Support → Download and install the latest BIOS and chipset drivers.

6. Check for Dust Buildup

  • Even after a professional cleaning, dust can still be trapped inside.
  • If comfortable, open the back panel and check for clogged vents.

7. Ensure Proper Ventilation

  • Use a cooling pad or elevate the laptop for better airflow.
  • Avoid using it on soft surfaces like beds or couches.

8. Perform a Clean Windows Install (Last Resort)

  • If software issues persist, backup data and reinstall Windows to eliminate any driver conflicts.

Let me know how it goes.
