Ive suddenly been signed out and cant sign back in. It wont accept my mobile number or recognise my email & password. Cant seem to get a password reset either.
So I assumed I was deleted for some reasons so I tried to make a new account but it says I already have one.
My stealth 600 gen 2's are showing signs of wear and tare and got me thinking to get the Gen 3's. But I notice they have been out already for a few years whats the chances of them dropping a gen 4 this year.
Posted this a few times but I cant seem to find the root cause. When I'm gaming these days I will set my fans to max because its summer here in the UK and my room can be a sauna in 30+ degree weather.
It seems when my CPU temp gets to around 85 degrees for a few minutes my fans will automatically slow down to 5100rpm exactly and will not change.
Even if I then switch the fan setting to auto or manual (where I use dynamic fan curve) the fans will sit at 5100rpm.
It will stay that way for maybe 5 minutes before allowing me to regain control over the fans.
It's kind of concerning because I want to game but should definitely have my fans at max to combat the temps. When it drops to 5100rpm the temps will spike then I feel the need to turn my laptop off.
I'm out of warranty btw so cant send it to HP without being charged.
I just got Virtualbox and installed it and it feels a little laggy sometimes it even freezes. I installed this because I have a WFH job and they want to install a bunch of crap on my laptop so I will have them install it on Virtualbox so I can partition their software away when I'm not working.
But as mentioned I'm finding it a little laggy and sometimes even freezes. I installed steam on their not to play games but just to test what happens as I install applications and it really struggled to install steam.
Is there any better VM's I can use? Preferably user friendly as it's my first time using them. Btw I've looked up videos on how to make Virtualbox better and their suggestions did help make it a smoother experience but its still a little laggy at times.
My specs:
AMD 7840hs
4070 8gb
32gb Ram 5600mhz
Edit: Just to add I'm allocating half of my laptops resources to VB

Just installed this on my laptop so my WFH job can install all their crap on there. I notice as I'm setting it up it allows me to allocate resources from my laptop to the virtual machine.
Are these resources only being taken while I have VirtualBox open or does it allocate these resources even I'm signed out of VirtualBox.
When I play certain games such as BF6 I set the fans to max because the game cooks my laptop CPU.
After about 5 minutes of playing the laptop will automatically set the fans to 5100rpm and they will stay there. I cannot change the fan speed for a good 5 minutes after shutting the game down.
This have been going on for months now why are HP so incompetent!?
Out of curiosity if this is effecting you which laptop do you have in particular? I wonder if its a certain line of HP omen.
Mine is a 2023 Omen that came with a 4070 and AMD 7840hs
I usually use flixbaba dot mov which has been really reliable for a long time but recent days I cant even access the website. It says site cant be reached.
Anyone else experienced this or can recommend any good alternatives?
Looking to buy the Stealth 600 gen 3 as my gen 2's are starting to show signs they will break. But I dont know if I should get the PC or Ps5 version? I'll be using them on both platforms but dont know what the real difference is.
Even when idle after a restart my iGPU is active it's causing my CPU to warm up to 60-70 degrees when doing nothing. How can I see what exactly is activating the iGPU???
If I disable my laptops iGPU in the device manager will this cause my dedicated GPU to take over?
Or will it cause my screen to go black? Dont want to risk it until I know what happens because right now I cant access my BIOS incase something goes wrong. When I try to enter BIOS i just get a black screen
This is a continuation of a previous post of mine I've got a new WFH job and they installed a bunch of crap on my laptop. Ever since that day my CPU will sit there at 60 something degrees which is not normal at all.
I've been checking my task manager to try and understand whats actually causing it. I notice my iGPU is using almost all of its vram when just sitting idle I'm pretty sure this isnt normal. I took a picture with my Omen overlay there you can see the fans are above 3000rpm yet it still isnt cooling down the CPU when its doing nothing.
Im in talks with the I.T. department to try and get them to provide a laptop of theirs as I know some colleagues have one but it's proving to be an uphill battle. Kinda want to quit my job already over this but as you can imagine being unemployed is less than ideal.
Even as I write this my CPU temps is pushing 70 degrees its not that warm here and even when it is it never gets that high over such a small task.
I recently got a new job which is WFH we get to use our own devices this also means they install a bunch of crap on my laptop.
Ever since they did this my laptop now runs a little slower especially when restarting it takes longer for the laptop to boot up. And hangs on a black screen for 5 seconds before allowing me to sign into my laptop.
But the thing that bothers me the most is my laptop temps are much warmer when sitting at idle.
I usually keep my fans on at all times 2000rpm minimum this keeps my laptop at around 40 degrees.
Now my laptop jumps straight to 80 degrees after a reboot and will sit there for a good few mins then eventually come down and rest at mid 60's.
Makes me want to quit my job already.
I'm on the fence about buying the 5080 version or maybe even the 5070ti version (waiting for a sale first). But I'm pretty hesitant I had a bad experience with a previous HP Omen and dealing with HP was a nightmare but these prices are hard to ignore.
If you have a Max 16 with the AMD CPU can you tell me:
- How long have you had it/any issues?
- What are the temps like on your particular model and do you play with the fans on max or what RPM do you set the fans to?
- Do you regret your purchase?
- In your opinion would you say the speakers are good? When playing single player games I like to play without a headset
Thinking about buying a HP omen max 16 and thought about getting one of their care packages. Asked the web chat if the normal care package also works overseas but they state I need a different one and provided the link.
I'm going to be travelling for a few months and wondered if anyone ever bought and used the international care package?
After watching the Summer Games Fest and seeing a few bangers that actually have me hyped I'm window shopping for a new laptop. HP Omen Max 16 are priced very competitively compared to the competition. I'm looking at the AMD variant with either a 5070ti or maybe even a 5080.
I had issues with a HP omen in the past and HP were terrible to deal with in terms of eventually getting a refund.
Whats your experience with your HP Omen Max 16 and how long have you had it?
When im playing games my fans will go to 5100rpm after a certain amount of time completely ignoring my dynamic fan curve. I have to restart the laptop to get it to resume normally.
I had my dynamic fan curve set up just how I like it for a long time then they come along with an update that resets it.
Now I gotta sit here and tinker with it all over again.
I notice it doesnt close properly and even when I hold it closed the pages don't line up properly. I spoke to the web chat and they said they wont send me a replacement has anyone had the same issue?
The passport is brand new and never been used but I've had it a couple months I'm going travelling in a few months and concerned its going to fall apart while im overseas.
