  1. Per the title: HP Omen 16.1 laptop, i7-12700H CPU, nVidia RTX-3060 GPU (6GB), 32 GB DDR5-4800MHz. Windows 11 Home 22H2. Spotty / inconsistent, very disappointing performance. Constant throttling. I disabled Intel Dynamic Application Loader Host Interface Service = EUREKA! 100% Success. Laptop came alive. Awesome performance, no more throttling or choppy performance issues. Back in October 2022 I purchased an HP Omen 16.1 notebook from BestBuy, hoping to get a half-decent, high performance gaming laptop (moderate gaming, tbh). Results were very disappointing. Very choppy performance, overall...sluggish context switching / multitasking. Constant throttling down to 400 MHz across 14 cores / 20 threads. I scoured the Interwebz for a solution and finally (at a point of desperation), i found a website that recommended turning off the "Intel Dynamic Application Loader Host Interface Service". My laptop came alive! It finally DELIVERS. Amazing, top-tier performance. Fast, smooth *everything*, especially heavy multitasking / context switching. Am now a believer in Intel's "Thread Director" tech. Running both Firestorm 6.6.8 Second Life viewer *and* the LL Second Life viewer, both very high GFX settings, 2560x1440 full screen, both viewers getting in excess of 80 fps (was lucky to see 40 fps before) Temps spike to almost 100°C but that's to be expected in this form factor. - Trev
  2. Thanks, Ryan - Yeah, I've heard good things about the Honeywell PTM7950 phase change pads. Apparently this is one of the better sources for them: https://lmg.gg/iBCQ1 Happy Holidays and Happy New Year -Trev
  3. Ryan, please accept my sincerest apologies for the insults and arrogance that I directed at you. I was completely wrong and ignorant, and I am sorry. I finally broke down and installed Throttlestop and I am now able to limit the clock speeds of all cores on my i7-12700H CPU to 3.8 GHz. Yes, I do take a considerable performance hit (no more 4.7 GHz), but the max temp on any core is now down to 77°C, instead of a nearly constant 100°C. This completely solves the overheating problems on my laptop and I do not need to bother with applying new thermal paste. Again, my sincerest apologies. - Trev
  4. Per the title: Overpowered OP-LP2 i7-8750H / GTX 1060 6GB - CPU / GPU w/Phobya Nanogrease Extreme Re-Paste: Resounding Success After 4 years, I finally got up the nerve to do this re-paste, after reading all the horror stories about stripping the phillips head screws of the CPU & GPU heat spreader. Turns out, not a big deal. I just exercised a little caution, made sure I had a nice, tight, precision phillips screwdriver that perfeclty matched the heads of the screws (there were 7, total). Cleaned off all the rubbish OEM paste from the CPU & GPU, then applied Phobya Nanogrease Extreme thermal paste (nice, even coats with the included spreader spatula thingie on both the dies and copper sinks on the spreaders). Laptop was relatively free of dust & debris (I routinely blow out all the dust twice a month). Results: Before the re-paste, the i7-8750H CPU was hitting 95°C - 97°C, when running Geekbench, Cinebench R23, Prime95. Now max temps are 73°C with those same benchmarks, and posting even higher compute numbers. GTX-1060 6GB GPU was hitting 76°C on various stress tests, now maxing at 66°C. Am thrilled with these results - almost too good to be true. Cannot recommend Phobya Nanogrease Extreme enough. btw, I didn't sh*t house the heat spreader screws when I tightened them all back up. Just snugged them up tight, the way they were from the factory. -Trev
  5. I've simply run out of ways to tell you that intel has completely locked down the i7-12700H CPU in every way conceivable (including the turbo feature), and you refuse to get it. Even Talon couldn't get through to you, and that was after you invited him into the discussion. I came here for feedback as to whether applying a high quality thermal paste to the CPU and GPU heat sinks might effectively reduce operating temperatures, and if not, then what other options might there be (excluding, of course, things like ThrottleStop, which is pointless in this instance).
  6. Hi Ryan! Thanks for the quick reply. Much appreciated. This CPU is the "H" version (i7-12700H). Can't do a bloody thing with it it, clock-wise, undervolt-wise or anything else-wise. Intel completely locked it down, so the otherwise excellent ThrottleStop won't do a thing to it. Thanks again! - Trev
  7. Per the title, I have an HP Omen 16 laptop (16-k0023dx), i7-12700H, RTX-3060 (115W), 32 GB DDR5-4800. When gaming, P-cores always hit 100°C, but doesn't really throttle. 180W PSU brick, I think the RTX-3060 TDP is 115W. I love this laptop, but am worried about 100°C all the time. I realize there's a lot of controversy surrounding all the OEMs' poor heat pipe / sink designs, but I didn't think it was this bad - especially Hewlett-Packard. Am wondering if I should re-paste the CPU (and GPU) heatsinks, if it'll help? I have some decent paste: Noctua NT-H2. What else can I do? (returning/refunding this laptop is off the table. Got a great price break on it, new. $1,199 USD, brand new). - Trev
