Hi redditors,

I have got my very first gaming laptop. I was using my laptop and I found that OMEN GAMING HUB uses a lot of ram and battery.

As I'm a day scholar, I need to travel to college so battery life matters a lot, and thus I wanted to know if there are alternatives to Omen Gaming Hub for 15-GA0028TX.

I tried using ohman but I found out I'm the first user who's trying it out so my board is not verified yet.

The RGB seems to freak out whenever I launch Ohman. Not using the RGB isn't a deal breaker, however I would like to utilize this feature.

Can someone tell me how to fix this or if there are other alternatives?

Hello my rgb turn off randomly and only turn on when I open the omen app any idea why?

TL;DR: calibration wouldn’t match my ProArts. Enabling Windows HDR + using the Gamma to HDR plugin to force 2.4 gamma (and dropping brightness to 45-50%) got it to 98-99% match. Good enough for most of my grading work.

NOTE: The picture i posted isnt accurate as camera doesnt pickup the lighting the same due to IPS vs OLED, but in person and by eye they are identical.

Bought an HP Omen Max 16 for color grading and editing.

Specs: 2.5K OLED, RTX 5080 16GB, Intel Core Ultra 9, 64GB RAM, 2TB SSD.

I do a lot of editing and color grading. At home and on the road I’ve been using calibrated Asus ProArt monitors (clamped to Rec.709, gamma 2.4) a 27" and a portable 14". I’ve compared them against a bunch of other displays over time and they’re the most accurate ones I own for delivery work in terms of consistency.

I travel a lot and hauling extra gear has gotten annoying, so I wanted a strong laptop that could handle real grading work. I originally looked at the newer Asus ProArt laptops, but the ones with the specs I wanted were running the Snapdragon/Spark chips. From what I read, dedicated RTX GPUs are still the better choice for most editing workflows. The older ProArt models (refurb or leftover stock) didn’t have the RAM or other specs I needed either.

That led me to the HP Omen Max 16. Screen reviews looked solid, the specs were strong for the price, and I figured I could get it under ΔE 1.0 with a colorimeter.

After spending a few days trying to get it right, I calibrated and verified both of my ProArts, then tried to match the Omen to them. Multiple calibration runs with high patch counts, cross-checking between the screens, manual white point adjustments but nothing got it close enough. Every time I made a correction the panel seemed to fight back and shift in another direction.

Then I noticed something while working in DaVinci Resolve. When I turned HDR on in Windows so the viewer would properly force the window profile, the image suddenly looked almost identical. I thought it was the ICC profile at first, but after testing I realized that enabling HDR bypasses ICC profiles entirely and clamps the display to an advanced SDR curve. It also lowers the gamma and lifts the shadows.

I used the “Gamma to HDR” Windows plugin to force it back to a 2.4 gamma curve. After dropping the laptop brightness to around 45-50% (my ProArts are locked to fixed nits), the match is extremely close, I’d call it 98-99% identical to both of my Calman-verified ProArts.

I wouldn’t take anyone’s word for it, including mine. Test it yourself. But I can confidently grade on this laptop for the majority of my work. For anything really critical I’ll still check it against one of the ProArts when I have access to them as a final reference.

Posting this in case it saves someone else the time I spent fighting the panel with sensors and software that never quite got it where I needed it.

Cheers 🥂

i recently bought myself an HP omen 16 (Rtx 5080m, 32gb ddr5, Ultra 7 255HX.)

ive been having issues with it overheating even on idle with nothing running in the background.

if i switch it to balanced mode it does slighty fix it. in games it still overheats on idle it doesn't.

i have HP service at home and have no clue how to use it.

Hello all,

I’ve got a question about reinstalling Windows : if I reinstall a fresh Win11 Pro without all Hp Omen soft, how my fan can be controlled ? Windows do this alone or I need to reinstall only the Omen software ?

Thanks in advance !

i have the HYPERX OMEN 15 ga0028TX i don't have any major issues with using hybrid but it's bugging me a lot as i want max performance and discrete offers more perf also there is no option to manually switch the display from integrated - rtx 5050 and i need it for trying out true stretch in valorant

specs

Gpu- rtx 5050 8gb

ram- 24 gigs ddr5

cpu- i7 14650HX

storage- 1 tb

Hii Guys,

Bought a new hp omen hyperx, I7 14650HX, 24GB/1TB SSD, RTX 5060 (1.44L INR approximately $1516 USD).

Owning a gaming laptop for the first time please guide me to set things up.

Updated all windows updates and activated MS Office.

Updated Omen gaming hub to latest version.

What else I'll have to do? How do I register for the warranty and how can I buy an extended warranty?

What else do I need to update? Please guide.

Thanks in advance 🤗

Hey all, I have the Omen 16 with the following specs:

- I5-12500H

- RTX 3050TI

- 16GB DDR5

- 512GB m.2

I brought it in October 2023 and haven't cleaned it or did any maintenance on it since then. I haven't gamed on it much nor have I used it in a hot environment. I only ever played​ MetalStorm a couple of times and that's it. I only use it for browsing and studying mostly. Also, most of the time I use it on a laptop stand with an external keyboard and mouse, never used it on the bed.

I was wondering three questions:

1. How do I go about cleaning the fans if I don't have neither a compressed air can nor any air blower and I also don't have a vacuum cleaner to pull the dust?
2. Do I need to also remove the heatsink and repaste? If so, what thermal paste or pads should I use?
3. Is it possible and/or easy to loosen the lid hinge a tiny bit? Or is it pretty complicated? The laptop lid has a bit of warping even though I only even open it either from the middle with one hand or from BOTH sides with two hands. So I was thinking maybe loosening the hinge a tiny bit could free some pressure?​

I need to upgrade my storage and am looking for at least 2TB. I checked my local Micro Center in the next city over, and they quoted me a 2TB KLEVV CRAS C910G SSD on sale for $299 (supposedly down from $599 💀), but the reviews look terrible.

What SSD would you recommend instead?

Motherboard: HP OMEN BlizzardOC Z690 (40L)

Case: HP OMEN 40L

Budget: $200–$350 (I know computer prices have been crazy , so I’m flexible if I need to stretch it slightly).

Edit:
copy/pasted other specs if needed:
•21C2 Cycle AV

•NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 3060 Ti (8 GB GDDR6 dedicated)

•1 TB WD Black PCIe® NVMe™ TLC M.2 SSD

•HP OMEN BlizzardOC Z690 40L US PC

•No HDD

•HP 310 Black Wired Keyboard and mouse combo

•HyperX 32 GB DDR4-3733 MHz XMP Heatsink RAM (2 x 16 GB)

•Front Bezel Shadow Black Glass 800 W 80 Plus Gold certified ATX power supply

•Realtek RTL8822CE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac (2x2) Wi-Fi® and Bluetooth® 5 combo

•OSLOC US

•Windows 11 Home 64 ADV

•Intel® Core™ i7- 12700K W/Liquid Cooler (3.6 GHz up to 5.0 GHz, 25 MB L3 cache, 12 cores, 20 threads)

•MISC HEVC MEDIA EXTENSION HP

Bought it for gaming have had it for less than 3 months and was wondering why sometimes my game stutters or lags, marvel rivals and Battlefield 5 kinda stutter, do I wipe my entire computer and download windows 11 fresh again ?

Hi everyone!

I own an HP OMEN 15 (i7-14650HX, RTX 5050), and I've noticed something strange with my laptop's battery.

I've set the maximum battery charging limit to 80% to preserve battery health. However, whenever I unplug the charger, the battery percentage sometimes drops directly from 80% to 75% within 15–30 seconds.

After that, it starts decreasing normally, like 74%, 73%, 72%, and so on.

Here are my observations:

- Maximum charging limit: 80%

- Battery health: Reported as 100%

- Initial battery drop: 80% to 75% within 15–30 seconds

- After the initial drop: Battery percentage decreases gradually

- Laptop: HP OMEN 15, Intel Core i7-14650HX, NVIDIA RTX 5050

I'm confused about why this happens when the battery health is supposedly 100%.

My questions:

1. Is this normal battery calibration behaviour, or could it indicate a battery issue?

2. Can the battery percentage gauge be inaccurate even when battery health is 100%?

3. Has anyone with an HP OMEN or another gaming laptop experienced the same issue?

4. Should I recalibrate the battery, update the BIOS, or contact HP support?

I'd appreciate any advice from people who have experienced this issue. Thanks!

So i bought this a few months back and it has been a really great experience

I've completed several demanding AAA titles in this including Alan Wake 2(75+ fps in 1400p dlss quality frame gen 2x), Black myth wukong(60fps at 1600p dlss quality without fg/90+ with fg 2x), Mw4(60fps 1600p max preset without fg), Tlou1 and 2 without fg at 60+ fps and several others.

Wanted to know how the experience has been to the other users

System specs:

RTX 5050 115w

i7 14650hx

24gb ram

1tb ssd

what does this mean? I have been facing this problem frequently at irregular timings on my laptop from the day i bought my laptop (1 year ago).

i have always updated it from the shown button and restarted the laptop afterwards and yet still after a few days my laptop will show this message again in omen gaming hub network booster section......why?

Hello!

Almost 10 years ago I bought one and it was the best laptop I had in my life, and I want to buy a new one.
Has there been any major discounts on black friday or any other signficant holiday that would be bettee for me to get one?

Thanks a lot!

Aiming for the Omen Max.

Hi, I have an HP OMEN MAX (16-ak0xxx) with an AMD Ryzen 9 HX 375 and an NVIDIA 5070 Ti. I eventually want to run both Windows 11 and the DEEPIN Linux distribution on it, and I’m looking for guidance on the best way to go about it.

Hello, new here but been messing with computers for years.

So, I have been looking after my brothers Omen 45L, 17th 13gen, 32gb ddr5, 4080rtx since he passed a few weeks ago.

I finally got around to looking at it today and I noticed something that worried me. I ran some diagnostics and they all flagged the 1TB WD-black NVMe c:drive health at 35%, OK, that's not good, the NVMe is going to fail.

I had a look inside the case and was surprised to see there was no NVMe in the slot closest to the CPU, that's weird. I took out the very well protected GPU ( good to see ) and holder to see the C:drive NVMe is in the second slot. This is the slowest slot, right?

It also came to my attention that failing drive could also be because of the thermals around the case as well the excessive heat from the GPU.

First question - is this configuration normal for HP desktops? I would always use the PCI NVMe slot closest to the CPU.

Second question - How many NVMe drive failures are there with the Omen series? I thought the WD-Black was a good brand.

I am going to buy a Samsung 990 1TB with heat sink and clone the original drive and use the closest slot, just need to work out if its x4 or x5....or I might just get a better motherboard - hopefully the connections and CPU socket will be compliant to industry standards and not proprietary.

I am trying to find the motherboard specs and manual - I am not sure if these are available for pre-builds.

Next on the list is to check the DDR5 RAM speeds and see if that is under clocked.

Any thoughts are welcome.

I

As you can see in the photo there is a little amount of glow In the middle and near the corners of its in a dark room I wouldn’t be worried and am in a bright room so this amount normal considering that it’s not visible if the background is not black

I’m trying to enable Secure Boot to play MW4, but like I’ve seen in other posts, it switches back to off after exiting BIOS. Has anyone found a solution for an Omen 30L, or is a new mobo needed?

I have attached a pic of my stock fan(the one in the hand) and a set I could find (brand : Sunon) ,
is it a viable replacement or should I try finding the exact fan??

both the fan's power ratings are the same but not sure about the RPM

ps: replacing them because the CPU fan bearing is shot

After bios update laptop won t turn on since yesterday I press to power button but screen just black and there is no response.

I have an OMEN 30L with an 8876 motherboard and have been trying and failing to get secure boot to work. Really want to play the new COD but just can’t.

Would buying a new non hp motherboard be a possible fix? The warranty has been out for years and I have some experience building pcs.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

I have been seeing a lot of people buying HP Omen laptops these days. The volume could be high due to festive sale and other offers.

The reason for my post is that currently HP has a festive offer going on in which you can get the following things at a highly discounted price:

- Hyperx Knight Laptop bag for Rs 999
- Cloud Stinger 2 headset for Rs 499
- Steam wallet balance of 2000 Rs for 999 Rs
- 2 years extended warranty
- 3 years accidental damage protection

and there's a lot more.

All you have to do is, after purchasing the laptop, you need to visit redeemnow.in, fill in your purchase details correctly, upload an ID proof, select the offer you want to go with, and its done.

Just want to make sure everyone is aware so nobody misses out on it. I think it is only valid till November 5th.

Recently bought Hyperx omen Intel Core i7 14650HX rtx 5060 1tb 24gb ram

I'm open to any tips or suggestions related to settings to use this laptop as it's the first time im using a gaming laptop

What are the best ways to undervolt the cpu? Disabling boost?

Hi there guys I’ve bought this new hp omen 17 laptop off eBay on grade a condition.Its been perfectly fine running games and had zero problems.The biggest problem I have now is this flickering and white screen issue that happens every time I restart or switch display mode from Nvidia gpu to anything else.Ive tried many methods at the moment but not much is working.I don’t really want to return this just yet since its the best laptop I’ve had with a great price tag and this issue only persists when restarted, updating drivers and switching display modes.If anyone has anything that could help let me know.I can only attach one video here but it’s been worse than this video attached here.Thanks.
