Paranoid cause of laptop running hot, what cooling stands to buy

My laptop is in a 30°C room (AC is on but the temperature here is so high that the room isn't cooling really well)

It goes to 60-65°C in balanced mode and sometimes touches 70-72°C

I have to run fans on max to bring it down to 55-60°C

But it doesn't seem to go below that (yes my area is very dusty and I will have to call a technician at home to get it cleaned as I don't trust them for cleaning my laptop at the service centre)

I want to know what cooling pad or laptop stand I should buy to get some cooling done, I am so paranoid of my laptop getting damaged that I don't even play games on it, but I do want play them 🙂‍↔️.

My specs are i7 14650HX and RTX 4060, model is ae0002TX

Last September I was easily getting 45-47°C at room temperature without AC and 66-70°C while playing gta 5 enhanced.

Also recommend me some dust protection pads or something so I can protect it from dust accumulation

HP OMEN MAX 16's variations, worth buying?

Hey guys so probably it's a wrong flair but anyway. Currently I have 2 variants of HP Omen Max 16 to buy in June or August.

Option 1:

Ryzen AI 9 375HX, 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD, 5070Ti, 1200p 165hz screen for 2400$/2080€

So about Option 1 I have 2 concerns. First one is about all Omen Max 16s. They say they leak liquid metal which can fry the motherboard and I'm geniunely concerned. They say the thermal paste they use suck and you should replace is straight away. My second concern is when I browse on Reddit the CPU itself seems a little weak if you ask me. It can get bottlenecked and if I spend over 2K boy I better get a balanced one.

Option 2:

Core Ultra 9 275HX, 64GB RAM, 2TB SSD, 5080, 1200p 165hz screen for 2960$/2550€.

Yeah here screen seems a bit too low if you ask me but it's just a 16 inch screen and I think it will last way longer. 165hz ain't that bad also. I have around 2 concerns here. First one is that liquid metal leaking I said in Option 1. Second one is I see MANY, MANY U9 275HXs OVERHEATING. THEY RUN AT 100 DEGREES. Maybe undervolting can help though.

So, if I buy a Omen Max 16 I'm probably going for one of these two picks. And which one to buy? Any help would be appreciated. Also I will be jumping from a 1650Ti laptop which is a MASSIVE, MASSIVE jump alone.

HP Omen 16 (Ultra 9 275HX / RTX 5080): TF7 Repaste & Tuning Results

Hey everyone, just wanted to share a quick before-and-after of taming this laptop. If you're running these specs in a hot room, you know the struggle.

The Specs: HP Omen Max 16 | Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX | RTX 5080 16GB | 64GB RAM

The Problem: Out of the box in summer heat (no AC), this thing was a furnace. Under gaming load, it was literally shutting itself off to prevent melting. Here are the results of repasting with Thermalright TF7 and tweaking the fans (Fans very very important).

🔴 BEFORE (Summer, No AC)

  • Idle: CPU 65°C | GPU 60°C
  • Gaming (Turbo ON): CPU 100°C | GPU 90°C (Resulted in random system shut-offs)
  • Gaming (Turbo OFF): CPU 80-85°C | GPU 85°C (Chassis burning at 50°C)

🟢 AFTER TF7 Repaste (Summer, No AC)

  • Idle: CPU 60°C | GPU 55°C
  • Gaming (Turbo OFF, Stock Fans): CPU 80-85°C | GPU 85°C (Note: Paste alone didn't drop peak load temps here)
  • Gaming (Turbo OFF + Custom Fans): CPU <70°C | GPU <75°C (Custom curve: Fans start at 40% from 50°C)
  • Idle (Custom Fans): CPU 50°C | GPU 45°C

❄️ THE FINAL FORM (TF7 + Custom Fan curves + AC Room)

  • Idle: CPU 42°C | GPU 34°C
  • Gaming Load: CPU <70°C | GPU <70°C

TL;DR: If your Omen is shutting down from summer heat, repasting with TF7 helps base thermals, but the real magic happens when you pair it with Turbo disabled and an aggressive custom fan curve (Unleashed mode, but no unleashed 😂). Dropped my gaming temps from system-crashing 100°C down to a very comfortable sub-70°C. And trust me...hardly any performance issue observed, not even with AI inference. Games running smooth and stutter free!!! Hope this helps!

Temperature differences on similar machines Transcend 14

Hivemind assemble!

My wife and I both got transcend 14 laptops that are identical in specs. However, hers (the left) always runs hotter than mine (right).

I tried cleaning both machines and reapplied thermal paste to see if that was the issue but, alas.

So what could be the issue here?

She swear she hasn't downloaded anything from the deepest darkest corner of the web...

Need help with finding some "old" warranty info

Hi.

I am aware the information for limited warranty can be found on HP's site. Long story short, they are playing warranty games, and when I went to find the link from HP themselves at the time where this is pertinent, it no longer works. They changed some warranty terms and also fraudulently changed the purchase date of my laptop to when I suspect these term changes were made.

I don't know if I can post the link here so I won't yet, but is anybody savvy enough to find a version of the limited warranty from about May 2025? I found several links to it when asked on HP forums from the time period to similarly contest warranty, but again, error 404 by now.

Thank you

Need help to understand Omen Max 16 lights + MAD/Intel

Hello

So, that's a silly question and concern since it doesn't really matter, but when I see reviews of Omen max 16 on YouTube they always show a "rainbow keyboard" with light for each individual key, leading to some nice effect and I really like it, but when I go to the HP site and look for this computer AMD version, I can only find a 4-zones option.

Does its AMD version only have a 4-zone keyboard for some reason?

Also, I'm looking for a computer primarily for gaming and browsing/streaming and to punctually use it for 3d modeling and drawing software, I heard that an AMD version would be better for it and easily to upgrade, but I don't really understand about that stuff. Should I really go with the AMD or should I choose Intel?

Thanks for the help

Please Help me I messed up

I tried to access the hardware fan in my omen x cube which I got from my brother a long time ago and is now showing heating issues.
And I want to clean this fan. But I didn’t notice that the fan is only reachable from the inside when you take everything apart. I noticed that on the last screw and paused and tried to rescue the situation but I turned the screw the wrong way and it is now completely detached. So I began disassembling my computer now I am on the dashboard and trying to remove a cable called Sensor 2 and I have no idea how to loosen it.
Please Note I am a complete beginner and I am on a new dose of adhd meds today, which is partly to blame for this situation.
And I have simply no idea where to start to ask for help.
English is not my mother language so my writing is bad. Apologies for that.
But I can understand it quite well

Thank you

HP OMEN MAX 16 (Ryzen AI 9 375HX and 5070Ti 12GB) is it worth it over a 9955HX TongFang OEM?

Hey guys so first of all idk tag is right or not. Anyway, so yeah I'm with a 1650 laptop and its obviously very old, cannot hold up. So I am searching for laptops this summer and HP OMEN MAX 16 looks very nice. Seems like it doesn't have any chronical problems and it holds up really well in terms of cooling. By the way if you don't understand what a TongFang OEM is it's basically these:

PCSpecialist Recoil 16 in the UK

XMG Neo 16 in Europe

GameGaraj Slayer R9T in Türkiye/Turkey

CHUWI Gamebook 16 in the US I assume

And these have pretty good reputation, I even researched to their transistors. So in my country which is Turkey HP OMEN MAX 16 one costs 2300$/1900€ here. And about TongFang OEM one it's the same price. So uh I'm planning to use this like in Lossless Scaling for games that does not support DLSS. I can select my iGPU for LS and dGPU can render the game, at least that's my thoughts. But my biggest concern is, is it enough for a 5070Ti? Can it hold up? The screen itself is 1200p so it's like 1.5K. But it supports G-SYNC and it has a 3ms of delay which is a CHEF'S KISS! So, is it really worth it??

Omen Max 16 RTX 5080 - Benchmarked for Forza Horizon 6. Extreme settings 1440p

Done in an enclosed 22 degree room, could definitely squeeze out more with ambient temperatures down or more airflow. No cooling pad just a docking station.

I may experiment with high/ultra quality and Ray Tracing on and see what we get.

Anyway this is what to expect in general from Forza Horizon 6 which released this week.
