OMEN MAX

Seems like the OLED displays and the inclusion of the 9955HX AMD chips are the big changes for the next year. Shame the most powerful AMD CPUs are not going to be paired with the best GPUs and cooling in the Max systems. HP used the 8940/45HX AMD chips in the regular Omen this year already but it's

Funnily enough my HP Omen Max 16 with this same CPU runs cooler on stock. Proving once again that this te pasting thing is a big scam lol

You probably don't need your CPU boosting that hard for most games. Disable boost or lower it and you won't see it throttle so bad. That said, it's unfortunate that the 2025 HP Omen Max 16 has poor cooling and can't handle the 275HX despite their fancy cooling / vapor chamber / thermal paste that th

So I got an HP Omen Max 16 last week with a 255HX. Noticed high temps (hitting 102 degrees) and intermittent throttling that I could temporarily solve by turning down cores 1 and 2 down to 51x core ratio and core 6/7/8 down to 49x. Decided to replace the liquid metal with Thermal Grizzly phasesheet

The HPs cryo-compound is ass. I got my wife an HP Omen Max 16 and had to change the thermal paste less than 3 months in. One CPU core was overheating to 100C while idle and fans going at max RPMs. There was quite a bit of liquid metal in the foam walls. It's been problem free since the change to Gri

Avoid Omen Max 16's. I have on and its had nonstop issues originating from the themal paste they use which is a mix of liquid metal and regular thermal paste essentially. Started off by completley frying the computer in October 2025 after about 5 months of owning it, HP said itd be 2+ months for par

If it uses hps hybrid cryo compound run very far away from it! It will leak and when it does your whole computer will be fried. I had my omen max 16 with the ultra 7 and rtx 5090 and its been warranty repaired 3 times after initially frying itself, 2 times it's come back with a faulty GPU and one ti
