I have an Omen 14 Transcend laptop (Core Ultra 9 285H, RTX 5070) and noticed the same thing. CPU would go up to 100 degrees and start thermal throttling. Only happened in Hunt, despite having manually adjusted PL1, PL2 and PL4 power limits. Ended up just disabling CPU boost entirely for when I play.

Oh I HATE this so much. My Omen Transcend 14 does this. Eco mode will get you 10 hours on my laptop with the RTX 4060 disabled, but the only things it is useful for are video playback and typing. It feels horrendous to use. Gets ~50 points in CB 2024. Switch it over to Balanced and change nothing. S

Same. The issue gets worse because they also drop the refresh rate to 60Hz. My Omen Transcend 14 actually drops to 48. It’s infuriating. The reviewed battery life for my laptop was 9-10 hours. I get 5-6 with usable performance and 120Hz

Its a 14 inch laptop. There is only so many places for the heat to go. I had the Omen Transcend 14 before my G14 and it was just as loud and hot when gaming but the performance was worse.

Worst case scenario upgrading to a 5060 from your old 1050 laptop would still be a very noticeable improvement. but since the 5050 & 5060 doesnt seem to have much of a performance boost compared to RTX 4060 & 4070, are older laptops with RTX 4060 & 4070 still viable picks if they're cheaper? The mai

For 4 years, I don't know. The appeals of the G14 is being smaller than regular other laptops, you are saying the legion and Strix, which normally are bigger, so the comparison here isn't that clear. I give you an example: I bought an OMEN Transcend 14, but the screen started to come out from the li

32GB of ram isn't going to be much of an improvement for gaming over 16GB in a laptop that has 8GB vram and a high-end cpu that can do garbage collection very fast. Games (or their setting levels) that require more than 16GB ram will require more than 8GB vram as well, so you shouldn't really spend

Part of the issue is the 5070 on the Omen series I've read is apparently seriously undervolted. In the gaming hub make sure you have the smart performance gain enabled at +15v. That said I have a Ultra 9 285H 5070 Omen Transcend 14 I bought around the same time as you and it's been a frustrating exp
