Title: HP Omen Max 16 laptop review: Super fast but a little bit too hot
Post by: Redaktion on May 04, 2025, 20:35:17
The Omen Max 16 ships with the latest Intel Arrow Lake processors and Nvidia Maxwell graphics available up to the Core Ultra 9 275HX and GeForce RTX 5090. However, the CPU in particular could have likely benefited from a stronger cooling solution.

Betting 7 cookies, it's gonna get worse, when fan reversal loosens some lumps of dust and further clogs up air channels.

Raise! 8 cookies!

Yeah, when one is lazy like in your imagination then it's impossible to pop the bottom cover out and simply clean up the fans, all in less than 10 minutes of work once or twice per year.

Isn't the primary SSD under a heatpipe too?

100% defective unit.
My temps are WAY lower and scores WAY higher by more than 10% on Performance already.

Can you give more info please? Are yours also with 5090? What are the stress test and gaming temps? Thank you.

Hello, Would You recommend this laptop (brand new) for serious 3D work in programs such as Autodesk Maya with V-Ray, Marmoset Toolbag and After Effects over Asus Scar 18 (used 7 months for gaming) 13980hx/14900hx and Rtx 4090? I would use the laptop in balanced mode... Thank You in advanced.

It seems they haven't realized how complicated it would be to replace the primary SSD or the Wi-Fi card. At first, they mentioned among the OMEN's advantages: "easily accessible RAM and SSD slots"
You have to completely remove the main radiator to do this, requiring the subsequent replacement of the thermal paste and the "liquid metal" they've applied. A very poor engineering idea...
