for the omen setup utility i reckon its the omen gaming hub right? then its in the video. but for the bios settings you better keep it at default, laptop bios's dont have much to tweak anyway unlike pc's so its better not to tinker with it. to answer your last question nope you need to restart your laptop to switch graphics, because you're practically like switching graphics card. windows can't do its job properly without a restart

@@RjSchopp indeed if you want to use throttlestop i suggest turning off the undervolt feature in omen gaming hub edit : dont use the intelligent feature, it doesnt undervolt too much, i recommend do manual tuning through trial and error to find out the maximum potential
you should really haha, it won't brick your laptop or anything, or if you wanna play safe just set it to -80mv since most omen 15s limit is around -100 to -120mv
@@TheHalalStudent you gotta have it open all the time for it to work, there should be an option to "minimize to taskbar" so it doesnt become that bothering
I think you mightve enabled cleartype, around the end of the display calibration there's an option for cleartype (it changes the font), you wanna uncheck that before you click finish
choose one or the other since it might interfere with eachother, personally I'd just use throttlestop since it has much more options and are more flexible in general

@@the87ghosts uh huh don't copy all the settings, every pc has different limits on undervolting, so if my pc's limit is -120mv yours might cap out at -100mv, you just gotta experiment yourself and see what's stable. not all cpus and pcs are built the same
Yooo gotta question... I bought this same laptop for the purpose of music production... can I optimize anything in the Omen gaming hub for better performance in my case???
How hot does the intel cpu version get on the 2020 omen? I have a 2020 hp omen now with ryzen 7 an hottest I’ve seen the cpu get is 79C my 2019 hp omen with i7 9th gen gets up to 95C I’m impressed how much cooler the ryzen 7 temps are
mine at its hottest 80c during heavy gaming (-120mv undervolt) , while rendering and using 100% of it I think it could reach up to 90c.yeah Intel versions aren't very thermally efficient
@@kamryn7496 yeah indeed its much much better, just in general the build quality is just better, 2019 omen is more plasticy because its trying to reach the cheaper end of the market. while the 2020/2021 omen 15 is still on the cheap end but overall just much better build quality and value for money, all that explains why the 2019 omen thermal capability is kinda bad. Though this bad boy hefty af its like 4 kilos kinda a hassle when i bring it around campus
@@P0ck3tz I just got battlefield 2042 an my hp omen with 1660ti Ryzen 7 kinda struggles to get close to 60fps on high settings I've heard the game is still pretty bad on laptops with better specs
@@kamryn7496 yeah lol i reckon your problem is the lack of a mux switch, idk HP's stupid idea to not have MUX switch on the ryzen variant while the intel one does. I honestly didnt know this at the time of purchase it just came to a surprise even for me. I guess because the omen 15 is on the cheaper end they dont supply it with a mux switch (weird because intel does)
its in the description, its to another channel but i think he did a very good job benchmarking lots of games. if you want maybe you can request specific games and i can upload it.
@@bluupbrr286 sorry for the late reply, so the video won't be done sorry, it's due to the game crashing because "I have insufficient vram". even though it's a full fat 8 gigs of vram, also another thing is rdr2 won't really work well with only 8 gigs of ram, I'm still looking forward to getting 16 gigs soon. difference must be pretty major
@@bigbrrrrrrrrr yea nah lmao you're just watching RUclips, may wanna check if there's some app running in the background stealing your cpu's resources, if not yeah that's an immediate repaste
@@P0ck3tz yo, I found out that it's an issue when I full screen games. The game goes black and freezes when in fullscreen, but doesn't on other screen modes. It didn't do this before. Do you have any ideas?
Good, but you don't explain the why's in most cases though... could be a bit more specific on wth you're doing and why instead of just "you don't need this"
yeah you're right actually sorry about that, i just reckoned everyone already knows what those things mean but i didnt really consider regular folks that are not very geeky
I find discreet to he the best . I like lower temperatures and less fan noise. My games work just fine. Gaming on battery sucks a bit so i play plugged in. A gaming laptop with a 3070 video card does not need tweaking.
This overclocks easily +200mhz memory and +200mhz gpu, disable optimus and plug into external monitor! 4k gaming 60 fps anomaly peeps! you are missing a couple of other setings which slow down this beast of a rig! disable gpu scaling in geforce let your monitor do that +20% fps doing that
So my take on this chronologically is: -GPU overclocks through MSI afterburner are rather obsolete, as you know modern GPUs overclock themselves when the cooling allows so manual overclocking isnt necessary anymore. -In my case (Intel) you can disable optimus and use a MUX switch so an external monitor is optional and wont add more fps, tho unless you're using AMD yes, you get more performance by using an external monitor. -GPU Scaling on default is already set on Display, not GPU so that doesn't need any tweaking If you have those other settings i missed feel free to reply
@@ApexPlayground_divine that's your problem there unfortunately, ryzen omen 15s doesn't have a mux switch, therefore you can't switch to dedicated graphics. at first I regret buying the intel variant but then after I knew ryzen versions didn't have mux switch/graphics switcher I had a sense of relief
Lol, I must say, besides the undervolting, most of the stuff here really makes little to no difference, this isn't the days of windows XP where 2GB RAM, 512MB VRAM and a dual core processor was considered plenty, on today's modern machine with specs especially like yours, you're really not gaining anything noticeable from turning off this and that, best you can do is keep bloatware in check, keep your thermals in check by means of undervolting and such, that's pretty much it
haha that's fine if you want to keep using it but personally my rule of thumb is always to disable all real-time protection features since they steal so much dang resources
Temp folders: Windows\Temp %temp% Windows\Prefetch Windows\Recent Btw you can type all those in how they are in the File Explorer address bar but personally I use a .bat file on my desktop using explorer command to open them all at once.

does omen always have to charging even is already 100% to avoid increasing the battery cycle count?
While your at it delet system 32 it takes up space and slows down your laptop mine went form 108 fps to 124fps in rainbow 6
On the part you went to system configuration, I’m currently running windows 11 but when I went to the boot menu it shows
windows 10 (C:\windows) is that normal while running windows 11? I know you have OS 10 just curious if you know?
yeah that shouldnt really affect anything tbh
What kind of battery life do you get basic office work/browsing?
it runs out rather quickly even for something like that, even on all battery and gpu power saver settings. probably less than 3 hours, really this laptop ain't gonna do you well unless you have the charger, and anyways this is for the intel version I'm sure ryzen ones have much better battery life even tho they have less performance

for the omen setup utility i reckon its the omen gaming hub right? then its in the video. but for the bios settings you better keep it at default, laptop bios's dont have much to tweak anyway unlike pc's so its better not to tinker with it. to answer your last question nope you need to restart your laptop to switch graphics, because you're practically like switching graphics card. windows can't do its job properly without a restart

HP omen 16.1, when using undervolting on throttlestop, should we also have undervolting on omen hub going on intelligent setting or no?
choose one or the other since it might interfere with eachother, personally I'd just use throttlestop since it has much more options and are more flexible in general

does this work with newer omen laptops?
same doubt
I find discreet to he the best . I like lower temperatures and less fan noise. My games work just fine. Gaming on battery sucks a bit so i play plugged in. A gaming laptop with a 3070 video card does not need tweaking.
This overclocks easily +200mhz memory and +200mhz gpu, disable optimus and plug into external monitor! 4k gaming 60 fps anomaly peeps! you are missing a couple of other setings which slow down this beast of a rig! disable gpu scaling in geforce let your monitor do that +20% fps doing that
So my take on this chronologically is:
-GPU overclocks through MSI afterburner are rather obsolete, as you know modern GPUs overclock themselves when the cooling allows so manual overclocking isnt necessary anymore.
-In my case (Intel) you can disable optimus and use a MUX switch so an external monitor is optional and wont add more fps, tho unless you're using AMD yes, you get more performance by using an external monitor.
-GPU Scaling on default is already set on Display, not GPU so that doesn't need any tweaking
