I have Hp Omen Max 16 with RTX 5080, didn’t repaste. Temperatures holding well in my honest opinion. Quite a good laptop actually, never once regretted buying it.

So I got an HP Omen Max 16 last week with a 255HX. Noticed high temps (hitting 102 degrees on some cores) 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.

I used TG PhaseSheet on my wife's HP Omen Max 16 and it's been running well. No complaints. Cores under heavy load can reach 100C, but that's to be expected (there's no undervolting). I've just as much seen it be power limited rather than temperature limited.

I own the exact same model of laptop omen max 16 with that cpu and gpu.. i'm using cachyos and i can play any of the game that i used to play on windows.
