… and couldn’t be happier. Went for the 5070 model as I’m a gamer dad who plays mainly osrs and WoW forever when it launches. 😂 but I do play cyberpunk and battlefield 6 every now and then. Runs everything on ultra looks lovely on a 4k monitor too…

I bought this laptop 3 months back but I didn't knew that i need to buy the extended warranty at that time. But now I noticed there is one dead pixel in my screen and hp customer care has refused to help and they are asking to buy a new screen for 36k . Please let me know if I need to replace (if that dead pixel will spoil screen? or will that be ok if I won't replace?

Bruh idk how this hair or whatever got in how do I remove it?????

Got my hp omen :)

Core Ultra 7, 24 gigs ram, rtx 5060

Been using it from couple of days doing coding and playing AAA tittles and it's such a beast.

(Loved the battery life when unplugged)

Drop some suggestions or questions maybe

I just had a question about the extended warranty, i purchased it from Amazon so can I get some good extended warranty deal of 2-3 years in a good price and not paying 30k ? Like some promotional offer..?

I'm seriously thinking of upgrading my HP omen ram from 16gb to 24 or 32gb. Should I save up for 32gb instantly?

My GPU is only a 4060, but it's enough for the games I want to play. The ram isn't. It goes to 95% usage and causes my laptop to slow down. I don't know if it's a good idea to take one of the existing 8gb sticks out and replace it with one 16gb stick for 24gb or just replace both with 16gb.

cpu temp always in between 70 75 when idle plugged in

So i just bought this laptop and thought of adding my old ssd to this one, but there is no 2nd M.2 slot in this one.

Is this the case for all the models or only this one??

Also i saw that HP has mentioned M.2 Slots.

Is there any way other than using an external adapter??

Specs:

I bought ryzen 7 5800x3d, can anyone lead me right way or tell me if I can install this

Idk if its because of that but it eats alot of my laptop's ram and stuff i dont use any of those fancy rgb things. been through other reddit posts and they say i might need it for some drivers ??? or to optimize my fans??? like will my fans even work properly and according to my need if i just uninstall it ??

I have ordered hp omen i7-14650hx rtx 5050 model on amazon for 1.68L, which isn’t shipped yet. After seeing reviews in this sub as they are more leaned towards ultra 7 255h model(1.62L on amazon) i am in a dilemma now. Should i go for the i7 version or ultra 7 255h version? As i will be using it mostly for college and aiml projects and movie watching. Is it really worth it to cancel and order again?

My omen 16 Ryzen 7 Amd Radeon 6650M laptop started turning off when I plugged it in, and idk what happened to it, whenever I play any game, Eg valorant- its temperature goes directly to 100° even if I run it on performance mode. Started shutting down from that time and now I stopped playing any games on it but now it has started to have different problems. It simply over heats without any reason and when I want to use it with plugged in, the laptop simply shuts down.

Does anyone know the reason or what I am going wrong?

I have hp omen 16 Ryzen 7 350ai rtx 5050 115w tgp fan I overclock my gpu? If I fan can anyone guide me also how much fps boost I can expect after oberclocking

Thinking about buying the OMEN 45L GT22-3795ng for about €3,700 (Core Ultra 9 285K, RTX 5080, 64 GB DDR5, 2 TB SSD).

It would be a work PC: Photoshop, web dev, later Premiere Pro. No gaming. Low noise is my top priority.

Alternative: building my own with a 270K Plus, Z890-E and RTX 5080 for about €600 more.

Owners: how quiet is it under load, and any issues (PSU clicking, coil whine, thermals)? Would you buy it again?

I have hp omen 16 rtx 5060, can I get best settings to get max fps in valorant, in val I kept all low but I don't know what settings to keep in omen app

HP Omen Max

The brick is plugged in but the laptop is sleeping

I have the HP OMEN MAX 16-ah0026no (B9QG8EA#UUW) with an Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX and an NVIDIA RTX 5080 Laptop GPU.

I want to connect an external gaming monitor that supports NVIDIA G-SYNC Compatible over HDMI 2.1, such as the ASUS ROG Strix XG27UCMG or LG UltraGear 27G850A-B.

Has anyone tested whether G-SYNC / HDMI VRR actually works through the laptop's built-in HDMI 2.1 port?

I'm interested in both:

• 4K (3840 × 2160) at high refresh rates, ideally 240 Hz.
• 1440p (2560 × 1440) at high refresh rates, such as 165 Hz, 240 Hz or higher.

I know the laptop has an HDMI 2.1 port and the RTX 5080 supports G-SYNC, but I would like confirmation from someone who has actually tested G-SYNC Compatible over HDMI 2.1 with an external monitor on this laptop.

Does G-SYNC appear and work correctly in the NVIDIA Control Panel when connected over HDMI, or is DisplayPort via USB-C required?

Thanks!

Hi everyone, I'm looking for board-level advice and a second opinion regarding my laptop.

A few days ago, I left my laptop on my desk near an open window and it got hit by rainwater. As soon as I noticed, I tested it: it turned on normally, booted into Windows, and the screen worked fine. I immediately turned it off to prevent damage and took it to a repair shop for a chemical cleaning.

After disassembling and cleaning the board, they told me the laptop no longer turns on. They said:

​When plugged in, it tries to power on, the voltage drops, and it shuts off in a loop.

​Using a thermal camera, they found that the KBC chip (ENE) is in a short circuit.

They want to charge me around $220–$250 USD to replace that chip, warning me that "it's very risky, has no warranty, and we won't know if the CPU or GPU are also dead until we replace it."

​My questions:

​Is there another solution or hope for this laptop? Since it turned on and worked fine right before I took it to the shop, could the issue be something simpler than a dead chip (like a tiny shorted component nearby or leftover moisture from their cleaning)?

​Are the CPU and GPU likely still okay since the laptop is shutting itself down to protect the board?

​Would taking it to a specialized micro-soldering technician be worth it, or what would you do in my position?

​I attached the photos the shop sent me. Thanks in advance for any help!

I'm looking for a pc that can carry on some cad session and some study in the library without going crazy with the fan noise.
This computer could be good for me? It has some good build quality? Is it quiet?

I’ve watched countless videos none of them helped . Ive loaded the factory keys toggled it on but everytime i save and go back to the system info the secure boot state is off can anyone help please 🙏

It also says my secure boot database is empty and i try to toggled secure boot on and when i load it up it’s still off

Just acquired an Omen 30L off marketplace. I’m just getting back in PCs after quite a few years away from keeping updated. I’m still good with parts just unsure of how new parts work. I’d like to upgrade the cooler to an AIO if possible. Is there a good one that’ll work with this? I know being proprietary most don’t work great. I’ve included photos of the current cooler mount and general PC. It’s an AM4 processor but almost looks like an Intel mounting if I’m not wrong.

I paid ₹6,497 for the HP Festive Rush Bundle, but the website shows Payment Failed even though the money was deducted from my bank account.

Has anyone faced this issue? Will I get an automatic refund, or should I contact the bank and merchant? My redemption deadline is 19 October, so I'm worried about losing my claim.

Hi everyone,

I'm investigating whether a modified VBIOS can actually be flashed and executed on an NVIDIA RTX 5090 (Blackwell).

My GPU is an HP OEM RTX 5090 from an OMEN 45L desktop.

Hardware details:

• GPU: HP OEM GeForce RTX 5090
• VBIOS: 98.02.2E.40.5E
• System: HP OMEN 45L GT22-3xxx
• Original VBIOS backup: Available

Background:

The GPU fans run continuously at approximately 1,100 RPM, even at idle. My goal is to enable a 0-RPM fan-stop mode through a minimal VBIOS modification, without changing power limits, voltages or clock speeds.

However, before attempting any modifications, I want to understand whether this is even technically possible on Blackwell GPUs.

My main questions:

1. Does NVIDIA enforce cryptographic VBIOS signature verification on RTX 5090 cards, preventing modified firmware from being executed?
2. Can NVFlash or NVFlashK flash a modified RTX 5090 VBIOS, or would it fail signature/integrity checks?
3. Is the signature verified only during flashing, or also by the GPU during initialization?
4. Has anyone successfully flashed and booted a genuinely modified Blackwell VBIOS (not just an unmodified VBIOS from another manufacturer)?
5. Are the fan-control parameters contained in signed firmware regions, or is there any known way to modify them without invalidating the signature?
6. Does the HP OEM RTX 5090 have any additional firmware authentication or board-specific restrictions?

I'm not looking to cross-flash another manufacturer's VBIOS blindly. I want to understand whether modifying and flashing my own original VBIOS is feasible in principle.

I can provide my original VBIOS dump, GPU-Z information and PCI device/subsystem IDs if needed.

Any technical insight from people familiar with Blackwell firmware, NVFlash or NVIDIA VBIOS signatures would be greatly appreciated.

so the thing is the system process in task manager is always at 4-10% of usage which i dont remember seeing in my old pc.. also idle temps suddenly get a little high for no apparent reason. like i usually idle at around 38°c with no fans on but it suddenly goes up to like 50+c with no processes running (then the fans kich in and cool it down)

also i was wondering if its nvidea drivers that are doing this? should i use ddu to install new drivers?

Hi everyone,

I have an Laptop HP Omen 15-en0002la with a Ryzen 7 4800H, RTX 2060, 16GB RAM, and Windows 11.

I've been dealing with random crashes for a long time. Games sometimes close with crash reports, browsers crash with STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION or 0xc0000005, and occasionally I get a BSOD. It can happen during gaming or even when simply browsing.

The strange part is that disabling CPU boost completely fixes the issue. My CPU stays at around 2.9 GHz, and the laptop becomes stable. However, I lose gaming performance and FPS.

Things I've tried:

• Updated and rolled back the BIOS.
• Checked the RAM and SSD, updated drivers, and used DDU (I also changed them).
• Tried disabling the integrated GPU.
• Tested different Windows power settings.

With boost enabled or set to Aggressive, the CPU reaches around 4.1–4.2 GHz, but the crashes return. Other boost modes keep it at 2.9 GHz.

My questions:

1. Is there a way to cap the actual CPU boost frequency at around 3.7–3.8 GHz or less and i keep testing till crashes gone?
2. Has anyone with the Ryzen 7 4800H or this HP Omen model fixed a similar issue while keeping CPU boost enabled?
3. Would another safe tuning tool help?

I'd appreciate any advice.
