To anyone still upgrading these, a tip for prying the bottom panel without a tool: slightly push the corner of a plastic card into the rear exhaust grill and lever the back of the panel up, it should snap off easily, giving you plenty of space to slide the card under the panel and pop the other sides. I've left a couple of scratches on the bottom and the side of my laptop trying to pry it from the front without a proper tool before figuring this out, don't repeat my mistake.
The same thing happened when I opened my Gigabyte Aero 17 for the first time. I used Krazy glue to reattach the clip and it's been fine ever since. I've taken the back panel off probably 2 dozen times over the past year and the repaired clip is holding strong.
I just wanted to say thank you so much! This video helped me upgrade my RAM to 32GB and get a 1 TB SSD installed. You're a lifesaver, I appreciate you showing all the steps and products.
Hello fellow netizens. Im very happy to share that i have successfully upgraded the 60hz omen display to 144 hz one. I had to find 40 pin cable as the 60hz one has 30 pin. I have already upgraded everything shown in Jarrod's video. The display is lgdo5fe. 6.4 ms in mprt test. I sourced every part from a service personnel who works at HP. Display and cable cost me 4250 rupees or 58 dollars.
@@nishthagupta1357 i also upgraded the motherboard or is should say replaced it. My config was r5 1660ti and higher tier variant has same cooling and charger so i salvaged a ryzen 7 rtx 3060 motherboard and replaced it. Rtx 3060 is monster.
If your taking upgrading so far, please remove the factory cooling paste and reapply it yourself. In my unit I found out these vram cooling pads were totally misaligned and the cooling paste on cpu and gpu could also be largely improved. Seems to me like a no brainer to do when opening up the machine.
@@Tumsaddict you most likely know your computer has normal RAM, feeding your Computing Processing Unit (CPU) with data. vRAM is the same thing, only then to feed your Graphical Processor Unit (GPU) with data, the ‘v’ in vRAM stands for video. vRAM can get hot running GPU intensive applications, that’s why there are cooling pads on top of them connecting them with your heat sink to provide some cooling.
Thank you for your great videos, Jarod! Your review made me buy the Omen at the end of 2020 and I could not be happier. I recently upgraded my ram, ssd and changed the thermal paste after 3 years of regular use. I'm amazed how fast the whole process was, thanks to your video and the design by HP :)
Great guide and very much appreciated. I'm buying one of these in two weeks (Ryzen 7 processor with an RTX 3070) but I already have some 38G ram sticks and a spare hard drive, so naturally I'll be saving money by upgrading myself. Your guide is exactly what I needed to know. Thank you.

In the future sometime, could you do a video on how to clean the vents and fans from dust build up? I understand it's basic stuff but I can't find a good video for this laptop specifically.
Great video, very insightful! I have a question for fellow OMEN 15 users. When I close the screen to put my laptop into sleep mode, it seems to enter sleep at first, but after 5-10 minutes, the fans start running at high speed, and the laptop gets really hot until the battery completely drains. I have to force shutdown by holding the power button. The only workaround I’ve found is to manually put it to sleep by holding the power button for 2 seconds. Has anyone else experienced this issue or found a solution? Would really appreciate any tips! By the way, I’ve been using OMEN 15 for nearly 4 years now, really great laptop, apart from the above issue there’s none to complain about. Works great 👍
i bought the rtx 2060 version, it come with 70wh battery, windows os + ms office, and 2 years insurance + ADP. So far i think this is the most worth it gaming laptop i can find
I also bought this.....for 1.2 lakhs.....6gb dedicated graphic card....1tb SSD......i am thinking to add another 16gb RAM ....since there are games which are releasing this month...god of war
I got the 2020 model 2 weeks ago. I'm really hoping it looks similar to the 2020 model (like 2019 looks similar to 2018) so that resale value is good 11 months from now. Not that it's not a good laptop, just not quite worth the price to performance and I was forced to buy it because of scalpers not letting anyone build a PC these days for affordable prices.
*Warning* Do not buy the battery from the website that he linked in the description. I waited over 3 weeks for my package, all for it to end up being delivered to the wrong address with a completely different postal code than the one that I entered.
Bought an omen 15 around December of last year. After 2 months of use + league of legends gaming the laptop gave out a message saying "the system has detected that a cooling fan is not operating correctly". I've already looked inside of the laptop to check if there's some dust stopping the fan but found nothing inside. having it sent to the repair center, it seems there's a problem with the motherboard. It's being repaired as I type this message, but it's kind of a let down to have such a laptop stop working in a matter of 2 months after purchase. Just wanted to let people know...
@@Streudles yeah I'll admit they aren't very durable, and I think you mean Omen 15, I've had mine for a solid 5-6 months with minor problems such as battery life which led to frame drops
Mine has not had any problems, after 7 ish months of use. I think it has to be the manufacturing place. The only thing I can complain about is the buggy Windows installation but I think that is not Hp's fault.
If you're on a tight budget and willing to go SATA, then the WD Blue and the Adata SU800 are great choices. There's an SSD tier list spreadsheet somewhere in Reddit or LTT forum, maybe you can look it up
I had a look on amazon for the Adata SSD 1T and got the 500G version I hope it works because i really need more space. I've been waiting for an upgrade video from you cuase your one of the few tech channels I trust.
I purchased an omen laptop a month or so ago, but I’m having problems with the power supply. The brick gets extremely hot. I played a game (Back 4 Blood) which the laptop runs flawlessly, but the power brick was coming in at 160+ degrees F after about an hour. That was so hot it wasn’t safe to leave on the floor. I contacted HP and they sent out a replacement charger, which did exactly the same thing. At this point I’m thinking I’ll have to return the computer, since it’s not safe to use at its full capacity. None of the reviews I saw mentioned this as an issue, so I am very surprised that it hasn’t come up. Seriously, this brick gets hot.
I'm guessing the reason you don't want to put it on the floor is because of carpet or maybe pets? Mine does get very hot but I keep it on a shelf next to my table and it's still going strong over a year after I got it. Just make sure you let it cool off before you throw it in a backpack or something.
with smooth paneled laptops I use a suction cup and just pull on one corner after removing the screws and usually don't even need a splodgee to remove panel.
How can you get 7 and 9 hours of youtube playback??? I've got an HP OMEN (dc0980nd) and i'm just getting about 1.5 hours. And yes i've got a new 70Wh battery :(
i upgraded my omen battery on the cell level adding more cells in parallel i can play witcher 3 for 13 hours and 49 minuets. take the wrapper off the battery so you have access to the batteries pcb and solder 2 powerlines to the batteries output allowing the other end to come out of the laptop. build a 4s lithium battery of any size you want and connect it to the power lines coming out of the laptop as the laptop uses power it will automatically take from both the internal and external batteries making the whole system last longer

I bought I7,16 GB and 1TB SSD OMEN laptop, I can’t see anymore laptop with this specification online. I think my laptop is upgraded version. But it’s fantastic to use.
Tbh I would wait because I use my devices for a long time (7-8 or more years), but I also believe it would take time for the laptops to get released globally and would take more time to be in stock (probably months).
Hey Jarrod, some of us had issues with Lan drivers due to a bios error when using the windows virtual machine platform for Windows subsystem linux. An updated BIOS F.12 was pushed through windows update, but you need to be in the windows insider beta ring last I checked. This fixed a lot of network driver and BSOD issues people were having. I tell you this as it may be worth trying the WiFi again with the F.12 BIOS
Still happy with my purchase since mid August 2020 AMD model. Would like a beefier gpu for 1080p w/ dank fps but the 1660ti did surprise me. I Came from a 2017 desktop 1060 + 6700k build . Chose a laptop cuz work from home and office use was needed.
Thank you Sir . I have question please can you answer me? .. Can I change dddr4 ram 2666hrtz with ddr4 3600 or 4000 hrtz??? My laptop is msi gp63 leopard gtx 1070 8th generation of intel.. Yor answer important to me please.
I have this OMEN with the same specifications and it is very good, the stock temperature went up to 99 degrees playing games but making some adjustments it does not exceed 75 degrees. It came with 1 TB SSD and I added another 1TB SSD. The fan when gaming hardly does so because I use a cooling pad to maintain temperatures.
i have a question how do i replace the keys on my hp omen model 166oti my arrow keys are gone how do i replace them and where do i find new keys please help
Curious because my omen lasted 3 hours & some change, I wonder if that rating is based off the keyboard lighting being turned on as well as screen brightness at maximum peak.
I have the same laptop but the intel i7 version. I was looking at replacing this but nothing really much have changed with the newer versions except for the GPU and they are more expensive now so I decided to just upgrade the 16GB ram that comes with it to 32GB plus adding 1TB SSD to the 512GB that comes with it.
What ever was used as the sticky substance must have work out, probably doesn't matter too much to not have them covering the screws. If it's the foot that prevents the laptop sliding around, then not sure, might need some sort of glue.
@@JarrodsTech Thanks for the reply, this may be a known issue idk. But also the rubber feet that came off ( yes it prevents the laptop from sliding ) they also seem to have expanded and dont fit in their original places 😂
When upgrading the battery, how do you store the original, to keep its shelf life? I put the 60 a-hr battery (charged) in the chest freezer in a zip-lock bag.

9:03 next 😎 I don't own a G7 so not sure I can pull that one off.
@@JarrodsTechwhat a rebel. Also it’s fine abt the g7 I’ll figure it out😉
Where is the full review of MSI 76 radir
Good Job Jarrod. Another great video
The heat pipes come off with 8 screws. Just get thermal paste and re-paste it. It's all just one system.
Excellent video as always Jarrod. Now im torn between the legion 5 or the omen 15.
Nice, now I need to buy it(somehow)
How to check what battery my omen has, without removing the back??
I bought I7,16 GB and 1TB SSD OMEN laptop, I can’t see anymore laptop with this specification online. I think my laptop is upgraded version. But it’s fantastic to use.
Its cooling is sooooo good dude!
Your videos are always appreciated :)
Will you please tell me the correct name of the screws in the base enclosure as I want to replace it... Please....
You are godsent. You upgrade walkthroughs are so thorough and you way of explaining is superb.
Could you do one on Dell G15 5515?
Thanks a lot.
awesome t-shirt man ! great band
Awesome, I love my laptop but wasn’t satisfied with the battery life. I’ll definitely be upgrading in the near future!
i have this one too but yeah the battery life is really bad i barely get 4 hours on video playback and thats on battery saver mode
Thanks for this video, I just got the exact same notebook
hey
i was opening the back panel but the screw heads got damaged
what should I do ? how can I open it ?
can i use this laptop without the battery? i keep it plugged in at all times so i wouldnt want anythin to happen to the battery
Is it worth buying now or waiting for the new processors?
Tbh I would wait because I use my devices for a long time (7-8 or more years), but I also believe it would take time for the laptops to get released globally and would take more time to be in stock (probably months).
Can you run this laptop without the battery? Like totally remove the battery and just plug in via wall socket.
Is there any way to upgrade the GPUs on these Omen laptops?
No.
is this a good buy entering 2022 ot should i wait for new laptops?
Hey Jarrod, some of us had issues with Lan drivers due to a bios error when using the windows virtual machine platform for Windows subsystem linux. An updated BIOS F.12 was pushed through windows update, but you need to be in the windows insider beta ring last I checked. This fixed a lot of network driver and BSOD issues people were having. I tell you this as it may be worth trying the WiFi again with the F.12 BIOS
God bless HP for making it usable on battery
Still happy with my purchase since mid August 2020 AMD model. Would like a beefier gpu for 1080p w/ dank fps but the 1660ti did surprise me. I Came from a 2017 desktop 1060 + 6700k build . Chose a laptop cuz work from home and office use was needed.
Is yours still working ? My omen went dead after a year of purchase

Where i can find a motherboard on hp omen 15?
When you upgrade the battery do you need to get a new power brick/charger
I have this OMEN with the same specifications and it is very good, the stock temperature went up to 99 degrees playing games but making some adjustments it does not exceed 75 degrees. It came with 1 TB SSD and I added another 1TB SSD. The fan when gaming hardly does so because I use a cooling pad to maintain temperatures.
What adjustments did you make, if you don't mind me asking?
@@ahmadzabeer983 i guess as all gaming notebook users he was ubdervolting the cpu and gpu . I went from ~ 90* down to 68-70* ;)
@@br0leg274 how?
How did u lower your temps? Mine hits 75% running only google chrome :/
@@junkoulas1 were you able to fix this?
i have a question how do i replace the keys on my hp omen model 166oti my arrow keys are gone how do i replace them and where do i find new keys please help
Curious because my omen lasted 3 hours & some change, I wonder if that rating is based off the keyboard lighting being turned on as well as screen brightness at maximum peak.
Does this laptop support 64GB of RAM? I read on the official HP website that the maximum size in this model is 32 GB.
i wonder this
What a great video, thanks for this.
Wanna see the 2021 AMD Omen. Hopefully, Temps remain cool.
Me too
Love your content,yo bro after replacing the ram that's it or theirs something else to do afterwards
I found on HP web that it could only go to 32 but it is good to hear that it can be updated to 64
Yeah that just means it's what they sell it with, for some reason people confuse it with a maximum limit which is not the case.
I have the same laptop but the intel i7 version. I was looking at replacing this but nothing really much have changed with the newer versions except for the GPU and they are more expensive now so I decided to just upgrade the 16GB ram that comes with it to 32GB plus adding 1TB SSD to the 512GB that comes with it.
Im having a problem with my Omen15: the rubber pads on the bottom seem to be comming loose and no way to re-attach
What ever was used as the sticky substance must have work out, probably doesn't matter too much to not have them covering the screws. If it's the foot that prevents the laptop sliding around, then not sure, might need some sort of glue.
@@JarrodsTech Thanks for the reply, this may be a known issue idk. But also the rubber feet that came off ( yes it prevents the laptop from sliding ) they also seem to have expanded and dont fit in their original places 😂
Me watching this video with my Omen 15
My Omen 15: *That's brutal*
When upgrading the battery, how do you store the original, to keep its shelf life? I put the 60 a-hr battery (charged) in the chest freezer in a zip-lock bag.
