I've got a HP Omen 17 with an i7-8750h and it's always been hot and loud - the CPU thermal throttles with the fan running full blast. I've been messing around with ThrottleStop and a -125mv on the core and cache has largely stopped it bouncing off the thermal limit but it's still hot and loud, so I'll probably try reducing the maximum boost clock next.
Anyway, although I know that gaming laptops are going to be hot and loud, and the chassis and cooling solution will have a big impact, are any CPUs currently better than others for keeping things cool(ish) and quiet(ish), without having to underclock?
I've been looking at HP's Omen range again and the options seem to be the i7-11800h and various flavours of Ryzen 5000 - is Intel or AMD better when it comes to power, heat and noise, or are they much of a muchness?
Thanks for any insight.
