With the fans set to max speed we’re able to get a little extra improvement, and then a few more degrees can be taken off with a cooling pad, so all things considered the results with the default performance mode even under these heavy loads are quite excellent. Performance mode was a bit cooler as the fans were now louder here, though unlike the lowest mode this makes a bit more sense. I’m not sure if it’s a bug, or maybe HP’s definition of comfort is a cool feeling machine without considering your ears.ĭefault mode is warmer, but as you’ll see next it performs better too. Worst case stress tests were done with the Aida64 CPU stress test with CPU only checked and the Heaven benchmark at max settings at the same time, while gaming was tested with Watch Dogs 2 as I find it to use a good combination of processor and graphics.Ĭomfort mode was running the coolest, however as you’ll hear later for some reason the fan was basically maxed out in this mode. Thermals were tested with a 21 degree Celsius ambient room temperature.

The Omen Command Center software lets you select between different performance modes, which from lowest to highest are comfort, default and performance, and you have the option of enabling max fan speed with any of these modes, but there’s no further granular fan controls.įor the first time I’ve also used the Ryzen controller software, which can be used to boost the CPU power limits, and we’ll see how this affects performance and thermals compared to stock settings, no undervolting is possible here though.

There are a couple of fans inside and two heatpipes shared between the CPU and GPU, and looks like we’ve got full VRM coverage here. Air is then exhausted out of the back corners and from the rear vent on the right side, there’s no exhaust on the left. There also seems to be some sort of ventilation above the keyboard. Air comes in through the fairly large vents underneath towards the back, as we can see on the bottom panel though it’s not fully open, but still a fair amount. I’ve tested temperatures with AMD’s 8 core Ryzen 7 4800H and Nvidia’s GTX 1660 Ti config to find out just how hot it gets and see where the limits lie. The HP Omen 15 is the coolest Ryzen gaming laptop I’ve tested so far, the results are very impressive, let’s check out thermals and see what performance improvements can be made.
