HP Omen Max 16 laptop review: Super fast but a little bit too hot

[Redaktion]

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!

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

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.
