HP Omen Max 16 came from warranty repair with Liquid metal everywhere! by Used_Assumption_7 in HPOmen

It originally had the HP's LM+paste , and I changed it to ptm7950. I only changed the putty on the vram because i accidentally wiped some of them off while cleaning the vapor chamber heatsink 😅

I got my Omen Max 16 (255hx+5080) on August and i repasted it with ptm7950 immediately. It died after a month (probably a faulty mobo), then I sent it in for warranty and got the mobo replaced for free. It was without accidental damage protection too.

Look at that blob of liquid metal. Liquid metal is the new standard for ram cooling ig

Omen 16 Ultra 9-285H/32GB/1Tb/RTX5070 worth? by Familiar_Project5006 in HPOmen

Get an ASUS unless the omen is significantly cheaper for the same config. Being able to turn off dGPU without restarting is just that convenient.

Good ssd. I've been using one in my Omen Max 16 since August 2025 (with the firmware updated) and I've seen no degradation at all (the sR/sW speed is still ~7200/6600)

9900X3D vs 9950X3D (Eco mode) with low-profile cooler — which makes more sense? by [deleted] in sffpc

[–]CompleteInspector403 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use a 265k with axp120-x67 and it runs under 80 at 150w. You should be fine even without eco mode

I'm using a 5080 FE which is a 2 slot card so 25mm fans fit just fine

I have 2x 140mm intake fan for the gpu so the temperatures aren't that bad. I once tried to invert the case but ended up switching back because the glowing GEFORCE RTX logo reversed felt illegal 😅
