In March, although the spring breeze is refreshing, it is not far from the hot summer! Whenever the summer is hot, the fever problem of machine operation is particularly prominent, especially in gaming notebooks. Due to the limited internal space, the performance of the hardware is getting stronger and stronger, the power consumption increases, and the heat generation naturally increases. If the game's heat dissipation ability is not good, it is not only a hot "potato", but also limits the performance of the CPU/graphics card, resulting in a series of problems such as stuttering/blue screen. Moreover, as a gamer, whenever you want to quietly immerse yourself in the world of the game, it is always difficult to keep your concentration due to problems such as high heat, fans screaming all the time, and harsh noise.
Therefore, when we choose a high-performance game book, we must not only pay attention to the high-specification hardware configuration, but also pay attention to the heat dissipation efficiency of the whole machine. Like the recently high-profile game book, OMEN Shadow Genie 8, it is paired with the latest 12th generation Core i7-12700H processor, RTX 3060 high-performance graphics card and new DDR5 memory. Many players are curious, while the performance is improved, can the cooling system be suppressed?
Inside the notebook, the CPU and graphics card are big users of heat. If you want to solve the problem of notebook heat dissipation, the principle is to appease the "dry heat in the hearts of these two brothers"! OMEN Shadow Elf 8 adopts its own "cool storm heat dissipation technology", with up to 4 heat pipes inside, including two 8mm main heat pipes, which run through the CPU and GPU cores at the same time, which can quickly transfer heat. There is a specially designed large fan on the left and right sides, densely packed with fan blades, plus a 12V three-phase high-performance motor, which can greatly increase the air intake volume and accelerate heat extraction. The fan also features a liquid bearing design, which not only has a long service life, but also operates with very low noise.
At the hardware level, OMEN Shadow Elf 8 gives a higher heat dissipation specification, but this is not enough. It has a newly upgraded OMEN Gaming Hub software (OGH), which we often call HP Game Control Center, which is quite feature-rich. Subdivided into the heat dissipation level, OGH has been humanized adjustment. In the performance control options, there are balance and rage modes, and players can quickly set up according to different usage scenarios. If you're focused on the game, you can set it to "Rage", which is when the performance is strongest, the fan is running at full speed, and the noise can be controlled within an acceptable range. Of course, if you are using it daily, the default balance mode, enjoy a refreshing and low-noise machine environment.
