A:Answertry changing the power profile to performance mode. Also turn off HP coolsense. To get every more performance you can unpark cores. Just google unpark CPU cores. Core 1 and 2 is always parked for the OS when playing games and are only used when absolutely needed. Unparking them causes the game to get the priority of the cores.
A:AnswerThank you for reaching out. I hope some owners will come by to give you their experiences. Note that the temperatures would vary based on the game and what it is rendering on screen as well as resolution and such.

A:AnswerHello and thank you for your question! You should be able to run this computer on full epic settings and achieve a solid 60 FPS, higher if you play with the settings. I have a very similar model and I never drop below 60 unless I am looking towards tilted with a lot of player building, then it may drop for a split moment to something like 52 and resume 60. It runs beautifully and Orange Justice never looked so good!
A:AnswerLooks like a thunderbolt to me. lol. it has a thunder bolt logo. another place claims it is usb-c3 which I'm pretty sure is thunderbolt. i hook my galaxy note 8 up to it to get internet access while away from home and its actually pretty quick for 4g speeds. i haven't tried external gpu but you prob wont need it unless your wanting 120fps ultra everything. the screen is only 60hz. i run all games at 60fps on high to ultra. quake champions runs 100+ on medium settings. only game i run over 60 due to some of the input being tied to fps.
A:Answeryou will probably get a code and need to download it. if you get this laptop go straight to hp website and update bios if the hp support app does not update bios for you. update amd drivers from hp website as well and DO NOT use amd website, amd website will treat it like a desktop and you will have issues. get all your updates from hp.
