I see it. At the risk of sounding like I'm just trying to console myself for my purchase, I do think I may have still gone for the 1650 variant. Not only for the extra RAM and SSD (and RAM is important for multithreaded workloads like code compiling), but the 1650 is also going to run cooler and...

I wasn't aware there was a variant with a 4800H and 2060 available, where is this from? In any case, I think given my use-case I would trade GPU performance for the 500GB SSD and 16GB RAM.

Final update (I hope - oh god) Decided on the Lenovo Legion 5 from OcUK in the end (looks like it went out of stock just after I got mine). Decided I didn't want to spend £300+ more for a mid-high GPU when the 1650Ti will do for light gaming which is all I plan to do on this. I knew I wanted...

I think their chassis are probably the weakest point, yeah. My current (the one I want to replace) from them has lasted 5 years and the chassis is falling apart at the hinges. Other than that it's survived really well though. I haven't ordered anything yet but was leaning towards the Recoil...

Update: Internal speaker stopped working yesterday. Seems like a hardware problem, as a full Windows reset, BIOS rollback, didn't help. Requested a refund again. I think I'll order a custom laptop from 'the-place-that-shal-not-be-named' instead of trying a third time for an Omen. I did like it...

£1,100. It actually did an automatic BIOS update a couple days ago, which was nice and smooth. Doesn't seem to have improved the idle noise though.

Hah, nice. New Omen arrived yesterday and no issues with it that I can see! Some initial impressions: Build quality is fantastic, feels very solid and the finish is very nice. Didn't come with too much crap pre-installed, was easy to remove stuff I didn't want (McAfee trial, Office trial...

I got the free care package when I ordered yesterday, thought that was nice. However, device arrived today (great delivery time!) and the diamond accent on the front was severely scratched below the surface: Needless to say I requested a replacement. Hopefully their support has a quick...

Got an email from OcUK saying the HP Omen 15 2060 variant is delayed a month due to AMD supply issues. It's a shame, but since I can't wait a month I will buy the 1660 variant from the HP store I think, I only really miss out on DLSS possibility which I don't mind since this is only an auxiliary...

Hi, it looks like the HP Omen 15 is a bit of a no-brainer for a gaming laptop in the £1000-£1500 range, though options and availability is very limited in the UK at the moment. It is reviewing very well, and seems like a major step up from HP's previous offerings. AMD 4800H is a much better...

Feels way too dark? Especially during the day.

Mine is very similar too. Bottom corners are worst. Brightness is on 80%. Honestly it's worse than I'd want when you're paying £800 but everything else about the monitor is so great I'm not too bothered. You don't notice it 99% of the time, though when you do it's a bit distracting. I haven't...

Also pulled the trigger. Been needing a new monitor for a while, been stuck with a single 24" 1080p for about a year since my second (an old Hazro) died. Still have my 4 year old R9 290X that's due an upgrade too, but that will have to wait until the new Nvidia cards drop. Won't be able to play...

People have windows in their cases for this reason.

Have you tried reducing voltage + core/memory clock to the lowest they'll go in MSI Afterburner or CCC? Have you tried switching the BIOS setting on the card (from Uber to Quiet or vice versa) GPU-Z will report VRAM temperatures, what are they when it crashes? They can go a bit higher than the...

It's under water, no more than ~65 when running TW3.

I bought a 290x when it first was released, a basic stock one (manufacturer was HIS IIRC). It overclocks very poorly, anything over ~1075 core clock and I get crashes in certain games (Dota 2, Witcher 3). I heard that the BIOS can be a determining factor for overclocking, but I've never done...

Nice, hopefully I'll get some improvements on my 290x.
