HP Recommended
Product: Pavilion Gaming 15-cx0020nr
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I want to buy an hp pvilion gaming 15 but after doing some research there seems to be a common issue with the laptop. The issue being that the fans do not go to full power when gaming which often leads to overheating and thermal shutdowns.

Is there a way to get the fans to go the maximum ? I read that this could be achieved by pressing fn+n onthe omen 15 and was wondering if there is a similar solution on the pavlion gaming. Others have said that it would require overclocking the bios and manually setting the fan speed but i dont want to have to resort to that for a brand new system. Any help would be appreciated as  am even considering drilling multiple small holes into the base cover to provide better air intake.

 

Additionally, i'm wonering if the omen command center would work on this laptop
