I hope this video was informative. Please like and subscribe so KZhead can show this video to more viewers. I received a lot of questions about the thermal past I recommend. Link for the thermal past I used in the description.
Hey man. My laptop is Omen dc0052nr. Mine has the same problem of thermal throttling. The main problem is that one fan runs slower than the other. It is like 2000 rpm in one and 200 rpm in other. Any idea on what might be the problem? I seriously have tried cleaning it but no improvement. Please guide me in this. @Lapfix I'm way too far to ship this device actually. So please do help me solve it.
Thank u. I managed to bring down the temperature thanks to this video.👍
Thanks Federer. :) Helped a lot!
Did just this in preparation for playing cyberpunk 2077... Big Thanks!
and dose it work with you ?
@TheBigGuy comments that aged poorly
R/agedlikemilk
thank you, that was helpful!!
thanks brooooooooooo, it was very much needed
By cleaning this after 3 years after i bought mine it lost -15 degrees during gaming and -10 degrees while idle. When you open the heat sink at 6.00 the area between the fan and the heat sink had so much dust for me. Mine laptop had the i7 and would turn off after getting to 98 degrees during gaming. Very informitive.
Thank you very much! Without your help I couldn't fix my laptop!
Thank you alot!🙌🏻
great stuff gonna do this soon, great vid :)
Excellent explanation. Muchas gracias!
Thermal paste is just to fill in the micro imperfections of the die and heat sink for more efficient heat transfer. The goal isn't really to have a layer between the 2. Other than that, great video! Also, I may have missed it, but have you suggested undervolting the cpu?
I am waay too clumsy to do this...
Thank u man
Great video!!
What is the thickness of the thermal pads?
Yo just curious idk if I gonna read this but how muhc cooler are the components gonna be
I have a hp open and I'm super scared of damaging it. I know there is dust in there but is there a way I can just clean it cause I don't wanna risk breaking it. There is also a stripped screw not allowing me to open it up. Any ideas on how to solve this
A stripped screw will make it much more difficult. If you are not having issues and just want to clean it, I would just leave it be. If you are interested, you can contact us through the link in the description and we can help further, thank you!
I was so scared before but i cleaned it and changed the thermal paste today
I went head on and took it apart.first time for a american brand laptop im used to taking apart boutique laptops apart like sager/clever. Taking it slow and watching a video of someone taking this apart is key to doing routine maintenance
I'm genuinely noob in that kind of stuff (so hope it's something that can be done by me) but I've noticed that my laptop has got more and more hot during gaming sessions these days. It still works awesome (no big bugs or freezes etc.) but I'm afraid I should clean the fans at the back since they are not releasing as much air as they did before.. I mean there is like really little air coming out of them.. What do you think? How often should that thing be done actually? Nice vid and thank you!
There is no blanket duration for how often you have to clean the fans or replace the thermal paste. The general rule of thumb is that if you feel like the laptop is too hot or is hotter than usual, it's a good idea to start disassembling, clean the fans and change the thermal paste. Although, changing the thermal paste shouldn't be too frequent since thermal paste has a lifespan between 3 months to a year, depending on how frequent your laptop gets hot. If you disassemble your laptop and discover that your thermal paste has gone dry and crusty, it's time to change.
What does thermal paste do?
@@Braaage- reduces temps.
@@Braaage- Sorry if I'm late. The thermal paste helps to bridge a contact between the processor (or GPU if you apply it to the GPU) and the heatsink. This allows the heatsink to conduct the heat better which transfers the heat to a fan, which will blow the heat from the exhaust. If you let the processor (or GPU) come into contact with the heatsink without thermal paste, the heat will become excessive and can escape to other parts of the laptop, resulting in more heat and subsequent damage.
Hi, really a very informative video, super like it. I got a question for you, is it ok if i can clean the fans using vacuum cleaner just over the vents (meaning cleaning the fans over the latpop back cover) without actually opening the laptop. i do this usually in 3 to 4 days once. Please support
Yes you can, but be careful of static. Only do when necessary
I want to clean my fan but can I remove it without removing the heat sink too?
WHAT MODEL OF CPU FAN IS IN OMEN 15-ce097nx? kindly reply
Where can I buy a heat sink replacement like that one in this video ? One fin of my CPU fan in broken
Hi can you please help I did the things on the video but my game crashes all the time and my FPS is high and stuff but it crashes also discord and google please help
How many months after getting a new Omen 15 2020 should you repaste the Cpu and cpu?
Maybe every 6 months or once a year should be fine
How to open damaged heatsink screws?
what is the thing that u removed on 2:20? is it necessary?
Yesyesyes if you don’t put if back computer go boom
Can someome help me? The screws are too tight around the heatsink and fan guards...
I have HP Omen 15 too, there is some dust at the bottom grill. Want to clean the fans but I don't wanna do the full disassembly. 1. Bottom panel seems hard to open in some videos. Should I try opening it? 2. I could also try with just compressed air, but where do I blow the air?
You need a Phillips head screw driver, besides that it isn't bad to open. If you are worried or feel a struggle, I would stop and take it to a shop
You can actually search at youtube how to open hdd omen. Its easy to disassembly back cover. 2 screws at bottom didnt mean to take off.
I had a problem after I opened the back cover I slowly removed the dust under the cover I only removed the ram and installed it again the closed the cover and tried to start the laptop it does open successfully but after a minute the screen started to crash and went black and white in a noisy way and the machine stuck there so I shut it down by pressing the power button then tried to start it again put it won't open Please help I don't know what seems to be the problem????
What should be the normal temps for this laptop when gaming? I changed the thermal paste on the same laptop for a friend, but his laptop had an gtx 1050 ti and an i5 8th, my friend told me that the CPU themp would go up to 94°. After I changed it and cleaned the fans it went down to 84°, but I think that's still very high
It is good to see that the temperature went down after putting new thermal paste. It is a bit on the high side, but it is a laptop and you are pushing it a lot during gaming. How are your temps while not playing games?
@@lapfix I'm not sure to be honest. He has the laptop now and I only had it for a few hours, But I think I saw that the cpu was between 40-60°C when I was on the desktop
From what I've read in comments, sadly 84 when gaming seems to be average for this laptop
As long as it doesn't shut down, you're good to go. Cap the fps down to 60. That will push temps below 90. If you want temps no more than 80, just turn off turbo boost, even 2.4 ghz is enough for 80% of games. For example, if i am playing fifa or arma, i cap the fps to 60 because more is useless. Also i turn turbo boost off. That way i get 60 fps stable with 70 degree cpu and gpu.
I have an omen 17 from 2019 that has had a problem with one fan twice in two years where it starts making horrific noises like a diesel engine. Opened it up cleaned out the dust and everything but still makes the rattling noises. Both fans seem to be permanently connected to the heat sink so I don't know how I would replace just the one malfunctioning fan without changing the whole heat sink along with it. Have you ever seen this issue and if so do you have any recommendations ? Appreciated
I have the same issue

hello did you fix it? @@tamunubarasinpirikienabere823
@@sherifmourad79 hello did you fix it?
I want to clean my Omen from dust because I noticed higher temperature recently and it's full of dust(I can even see the dust when I flip it over) plus sometimes static electricity builds up in the laptop and I see a little spark from my finger to the laptop when I touch it and then every time the laptop shuts down. That just started recently because I moved places and I think the laptop sucked in a lot of dust and that's the problem. Now im not sure if I should clean it or send it to hp repair center because I still have 1 more year of warranty and I don't want to lose the warranty by opening the laptop. Will hp even clean my laptop if I send it and say that it shuts down and that it's temperatures are higher than they were before. And another thing is 1 of my fans is much slower than the other when I look at RPM and every time I start it I get a message in bios that one of the fans is not working properly(the thing is that messege was there from beginning and people say on forums that it's normal for that version of omen 15 that I have but it sometimes disrupts my Windows update because if i don't press enter at the restart the update stops and my windows once got corrupted because of it)
Hello there, I just recently change the speker at hp center. And still warranty, before they open it up I told them to clean fan also. And they did it.
I'm gonna have to do this because I have never cleaned it and I bought it 2 years ago. I've also noticed that when I play a game its more hotter than usual, instead of maintaining 87-88c its now maintaining 89-92c. I'm going to clean the fans and replace the thermal paste. I'll update this comment on how it went.
I assume you broke your laptop so we aint getting no updates l0l
@@cavityvavity520 Lol no I haven't done it yet, I'll try and do it next week maybe.
@@cavityvavity520 But dang reading these comments makes me afraid to do so
@@alexwhitton1 you should be good as long you follow the steps like this video did and make sure all connections all plugged in and everything then it'll turn back on just fine.
I tried to remove my heat sink but 3 screws got stripped, i have searched in youtube ways to remove these and tried the least dangerous methods without any result at all. I need a proper method to remove these and of course get replacements for the screws before removing them, if i have to buy a tool of something i will but please i really need advice with this.
Hi, im in the same situation, did you find any ways to fix the problem with the screws? Because i can't remove it, i can't do anything else
So how often do I need to change the thermal paste?
Shouldn't have to, However some people recommend once a year.
I do it every 2 years
Not that often if you had applied it correctly.
I HAVE ALOT OF NOISE COMING OUT OF THE LAPTOP I DONT KNOW THE SOURCE BUT THE technician staff SAID THAT THEY NEED TO PLUG IN NEW FAN INSTEAD OF THE OLD ONE
Need help ?
Yeah same you have to replace your fan
Is this laptop upgradeable like ram graphics card storage space or whatever? I have this laptop and want to know what i can do to it to make it better?
Best thing you can upgrade to is a ssd if you don't already have one, otherwise the gpu is soldered, not much you can do outside of that.
Is it possible to open up the back and just use compressed air on the fans? Without taking everything apart?
I have the same question
Hi man, I would like to clean my laptops ventilators... I've got hp omen 15-CE023NM... I'd be thankful if you could make video or somehow guide me through it!!!
If we get that one in, I would love to
Since yesterday, I have been trying to gather things like isopropyl alk, antistatic cloth, good thermal paste, compressed air can etc. Yet I've found only air and some low quality paste.... I liv ein montenegro and I feel so disquraged but that... Yet I'd like to see lower temps...
at 2:01 .. you are brushing the case upside the laptop 😂
Hi, my laptop lately is doing a weird sound on the fans, could it be dust?
Or it can be the fan going bad. We received MSI laptop today with the gpu fan making noise. The fan need to be replaced. Will upload the video soon.
@@lapfix At a certain point, the fan stopped. What should I do?
Hi my fan completely stopped spinning would cleaning it make it work again?
It depends. Does your laptop turn on? If it doesn't, it could be everything from a dead pin that controls the voltage of the fan to a bunch of dust and dirt piling up on your fans. I'm definitely not an expert so don't take my word, but definitely the best advice I can give you is to try and open your laptop to see if you can easily clean the fans and try it again. If it doesn't work, try and take it somewhere when they can SHOW you the problem and most importantly, HOW to fix it if it ever happens again
I only fully took out one fan and i cleaned in between the top part of the other, I didn't remove the battery when I did this and now my computer power turns on for a few seconds and turns back off without any signs of getting better. is there a way to fix this?
You probably need to fully clean the area where the other is.
how often do i have to do this? i never did these in 2 years btw
Since its a bit of work and intensive, no more than once a year if that. It's always a risk opening, be careful =)
Hi can i keep the orignal thermal pads?
It is always recommended you change the thernal past when you clean the fan.
@@lapfix he said pads not paste. @Philip I've watched four videos where they disassemble and clean this laptop and none of them changed the pads, because they looked like they do here, in good condition
can i clean the fan with blow off ( dust cleaner) without opening the laptop?
my laptop is hp omen 15
Can I use a vacuum to suck out the dust without opening the case up
You can, but make sure you power the machine off and unplug it. Usually there is a mesh in there that holds dust particles. Be very gentle
lapfix thanks a lot man
My new omen 15 gets too hot can you help me wath to do
You might need to check if you need to apply a thermal past.
i have a hp omen and there nothing wrong if it gets too hot its normal in a laptop i recommand u to undervolt it trust me i did the same and it decrase the temperature by 15 c i use to get around 80 - 85 but now 70 -75 c
I just bought a cooling pad for mine, seems to work quite well
@@Braaage- hey, a little late to this comment, but what type cooling pad did you buy? I bought a dual fan for mine, and it just seems to blow the hot air around.... doesn't really dissipate it at all.
Is it okay/enough to just clean the fans with a toothbrush without having to remove them? Because I don't wanna go through the hassle of removing them and doing something wrong on my thousand dollar laptop 😬
Yes, that is another good way to clean them. Just be careful not to touch anything while opening it up. It is very easy to short something on the board
Hello @lapfix, I followed your steps here and after I put the laptop back together, I press the power button and it just keeps blinking and nothing happens, what is the issue/solution ?
Mine did same thing I hit the power button an it kept blinking let it sit for 5 minuets an it turned on
My temps are usually around 80°c but resetted pc and now my fans are noisy af and got low gpu usage.
Check the Thermal past.
Mine reaches 96🙂
@@Yeslem12 mine runs at 98 deg Celsius and can cook an egg.
Hello so I did all that but didn't remove the battery cuz the screws were used up and it was impossible to remove it, now the laptop wont turn on, there is no power from the battery or from wired, so my question is "In how much trouble am I in?"
You always need to remove the battery when you remove any part or connection from the motherboard. Is hard to say what damaged without checking the voltage on the board.
I7 9750h stock is hot 97 degrees Undervolt with throttlestop I went from 97 degrees to 74 degrees 3.4ghz on all cores(6) Thermal grizzly kryonaut did nothing for this cpu.it just cant handle the tdp constant boost which is rated for 4.5ghz.smh what a joke.my omen gtx 1660ti stays cool but with shared heatsink the dispersed heat can mess that too!
I tried using throttlestop but every time I do it doesn't make any difference please can you just tell me what settings you put on it to make it work
I have the same laptop, what can I do when my fan is making high pitch noises and the other one just stops immediately after turning on the device?
I have same stuff, it's the BIOS i think
hello did you fix it?
my fan just stop working so i’m cleaning it and i have no idea what i’m doing thanks
followed this video now my computer is broken
Does doing this void warranty?
Most likely yes.
@@lapfix Ok thank you.
Yes, there is a sticker of warranty that covers a screw on the back, I did the same thing for a friend today.
My laptop won’t open now 😭
My temps went from 95c to 55c. They weren't that cool from day 1 lol
My hp omen usualy reaches 96c° while gaming is that too hot?
Undervolt if your afraid to do this.
idk if it's still relevant, but I have found fixes for this after trying all kinds of other solutions, including intel extreme tuning utility and others. I found a solution on my own that works for my laptop but may not work for all models. Thought I'd share because I know my posts on tucked away forums won't reach everyone. This is how I fixed the problem on my HP Omen 15.6 (15-ce198wm), which I bought in 2019. 1. Open Control Panel 2. Navigate to Control Panel\Hardware and Sound\Power Options. 3. On the sidebar, click on "Create a power plan." 4. Create this new plan based on the default "High Performance" plan. 5. Name it something like "Temp Control High Performance," or a similar name you will remember it by. 6. Change the screen time out and sleep timers to your liking and select "Create plan." 7. You will be back to the plan selection screen. Open your new plan by clicking "Change plan settings." 8. Click "Change advanced power settings." 9. Navigate down to and click on the "Processor power management" drop box. 10. Open "Maximum processor state." 11. Change the values for both "On battery" and "Plugged in" to 99%. All other values can be changed to your liking. I have found online that the cpu for this model likes to run at 100% for no reason so long as it is allowed to. From what I have read, there seems to be a manufacturer defect with some models of the processor that causes this in tandem with certain omen motherboards, or HP deliberately did this to gain the maximum standard performance for unseasoned users. Either way, it's a hinderance to performance if it's constantly overheating for no reason, so hopefully this fixes it for someone.
@@seancey All that does is disable turbo boost.

Can u make a video of omen 15 on how to remove headphone pin broken and stuck in audio port i have same problem and unable to remove from outside can u plz make a video on how to remove pin by opening laptop plzzzzz
HP had gotten a bit better with their gaming laptops, but they still haven't gotten it as good as those barebones gaming laptops (software wise). Also your customer may need to upgrade the RAM (and possibly both of the storage) because games these days had became more taxing than it is months ago. A single 8GB RAM isn't enough to run games well for my current Gaming laptop (HP Pavilion Gaming 15-DK0051WM). Although it isn't as powerful as the GTX 1060. But at some point it needs dual channel RAM regardless of how fast and how much GB the single RAM stick is. Because on Skyrim Special Edition It was hitching on lowest quality settings. I had put 16GB kit in it and thrown in Intel 665p, Seagate Barracuda 2.5" SSD (both 1TB each). So now I am good to go so far.
A nice and informative video, but please do something with the audio, you are like that one guy on discord who shares audio from his whole respiratory system instead the words he is saying and it gets really annoying
Thanks for your feedback
I just open it and i fucked up i took out all the screws and still doesn’t get off also i have difficulties putting the top parts on the corners my advice do not open it alone unless someone with experience does show you fck
it really is pain in the neck to clean it . Too much complicated
Can someone give me tips for opening the casing?, its so hard
Did u open it up? I'm too scared seeing everyone struggle opening it
I used a very small flathead screwdriver (like jewelry sized) to pry open the seam in the front corners of the case. It did scuff the case a tiny bit but it’s the best way I could find. After I got it open on the corners I took an old credit card to the seams and managed to unhook all the plastic connections with that, hope it helps!!!
I'm also having trouble with this.
The sound is terrible in this video🙈
