This is a joke - DO NOT BUY AN OMEN LAPTOP

[sqquare]

 

 

Just repasted this thing, cleaned the fans, the whole deal - cpu hitting 100c ON BASE CLOCK IN GAME 

 

if nothing can be done i'll be selling this garbage can for cheap, hit me up if you're willing to take this shit off my hands.

Lol all gaming laptops are like this. Myself and many others here always tell people to never buy them, yet you do anyway and look what happens.

Welcome to the forums!!!

 

So your expecting great cooling in a small form factor of less than an inch thick??? Welcome to the world of gaming laptops!! My MSI GS66 Stealth can hit into the 90C mark as well depending on load!!

@sqquare will you take a packet of Hobnobs and three paper clips?

CLOCK

Why not just use Intel Extreme Tuning Utility to refine the speeds?

i always tell ppl to not get laptops for gaming unles you travel like all the time for some reason need more than a modern ultrabook can provide. Ive got a desktop at home and a yoga 910 which can access a virtual computer called "shadow" if i am itching for a game while not at home

omen laptops have locked speeds and voltages

welcome to gaming laptops. 

 

you should always buy a gaming desktop and a basic laptop if you need one for class or whatever. gaming laptops are always a bad buy.

i can only buy for what i can sell - which is probably around 7000 zloty - which is around 1700 dollars. i think.

ive had success with taking a drmel to a laptop chassis, cutting some ventilation slots and then sticking the thing on one of those ventilated stands

thats why i said to keep an eye on it, maybe they keep going with the design and make it cheaper in the next gen

Seems like it's just as thick as mine. Bad news for getting the 2080 version tho, mine has 8750H and 1060 only and it still overheats the CPU when both the CPU and GPU are at full load. It's fine if I only load one of the two at a time, not both.

 

You can control CPU clocks with speedshift, 0 is the most aggressive and 255 will make the CPU run really slowly. Find a balance there.

even just a normal stand will help a bit, just giving it more air will help, not a ton tho

[sqquare]

this is actually a joke. left on 2 hours idle 

 

base clock is 2.6gh

gaming and laptops aren't a good combination no matter how much companies try to sell it to you

 

playing minesweeper or pinball could be considered as gaming too so it's not false marketing, companies will often use tricks like that to lure unaware buyers into their products. I'd just sell it and get a desktop PC or a console if you don't care about extreme graphics or stuff like that

i will never buy a console
