after 4 years of saving money and of course some help from parents i bought my first gaming laptop!! HP pavillion gaming Ryzen 5 5600h (6C 12T ) RTX 3050 (4GB) 8GB RAM 512gb SSD any suggestions regarding the laptop are welcome!!

Like the other guy said, place a cooling pad or any other

he he he i put a book beneath my laptop, this setup is only for show......... xd xd my real setup is different u know elevated and all xd xd anyways thx for the suggestion mate!

Try not to game on Laptop keyboard. Buy a cheap keyboard for now and use it. Later you can buy good mechanical one.

May I know the reason to not gane on laptop keyboard?

Can you suggest a good starter mechanical keyboard? Been looking for 1 and I'm not sure which one is good and reliable but not too expensive at the same time

ok...... ok...... noted

Congratulations for the new laptop,

Ok noted!

Hi can you explain more about the 80% charge thing? My lqptop has a conservation mode in lenovo vantage but it limits it to just 60

Put in another 8gb ram to make it dual channel. This way you can get maximum performance. Congrats.

ya sure ok ,

BeatMeToIt

I had read somewhere that u shouldn't make it dual channel or use a different ram.???

Congratulations! Add another 8gb ram and do not cover laptop vents. Happy gaming.

ya sure mate

Raise the back with your geometry box

this isn't my usage setup its photo setup xd i use a book beneath but anyways thx for the suggestion mate!

Congratulations. Enjoy. If you are still student, don't forget to study little

yes i bought it for both college and gaming purposes! u know this laptop comes with MS office student edition so thats why it was the best choice for me!

Get another 8 gig or 16 gig stick and repaste & clean(or watch someone do it the 1st time) every 6 months.

ya sure thx for the suggestion mate!

Congratulations mate ! :)

well said mate

Yeah nice laptop and all but what are those lights tho?

glad u asked ,they are piece of decoration i bought from hyderabad street vendors ,very cheap and look very gorgeous i must say!

Ayeee congrats man. I hope u have a great time gaming

thank you very much mate!

Congratulations mate! Gonna get my first gaming laptop from my own money soon as well.

best of luck mate hope the time comes as fast as it can ! i also waited more than 4 yrs ! i can understand u more than anyone!!!

Ryzen 5 and 8gb ram is not a good combo as in HP they reserves 2gb of ram for vega graphics and you only left with remaining 5gb which sucks.(also you can't change the number through bios as it is locked)

i will surely upgrade the RAM in a few months

Can you share link of laptop please

yes sure here it is,

Primarily for gaming?

gaming + college and productivity stuff! like video editing etc!!

Congrats bro!! I would recommend getting a keyboard as well if you plan to game a good amount on it. I did the mistake of not doing so on my older laptop and the keyboard wore out pretty quickly.

ya ok i have a old keyboard i will use that!

Nice rgb bottles in the back there

thanks man !

If possible set maximum charge limit to 80%, it'll help a lot in long run.

How to do that?

Bought same laptop with 3050ti version 1 month back, it's very nice just remember to turn off processor boost if it gets too hot while gaming. Also check warranty on HP site to see if it matches with your purchasing date. Enjoy

Idk why i couldn't find the ti varient when i was searching btw the laptop is still great!!

[удалено]

Me too i also started saving around 2019 mid and here i am, Btw thx and congratulations to u too!

Enjoy the fruits of your labor, my Desi gaming bro 🤗🙏🇮🇳.

Thx bhai

Put a plate filled with water under it for max performance

whaaaaaaatttt???? u joking or wut???

Same pinch, congrats.

: ) he he he

Congratulations. Must feel great.

yeah : )

Upgrade the ram to max and upgrade the storage

yeah sure

CONGRATULATIONS 🫡🍻🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳

thx mate!

Congratulations buddy! Go for a ram upgrade to 16GB in the next few months. Happy gaming :)

yeah sure mate

Please use a mouse pad

I use one but its a little old and rugged so i didn't post it in the picture!! 😅

Link for those lights! And awesome setup. enjoy!

Sorry bro but i bought it from street vendors in Hyderabad!

dont keep the laptop on the cloth, it will ruin your fans since it sucks all the lint

Oh : O ok removing them now! Thx for the suggestion mate!

I had the same wallpaper 🔥🔥

yes the purple theme matches perfectly with the wallpaper!

Beautiful, bruh! Enjoy!!

thx mate!

What are those lights?

they are piece of decoration i bought from hyderabad street vendors!

Congozzz buddy

Yea I hv the same one. Bought it in December 2021. It's good for the price point but I recommend buying a cooling pad. I got a problem in the laptop, one fan from the two failed so had to service i but got it covered under warranty.

oho : O how did u realize one fan has failed???

Congrats man

thx mate

Been using Ryzen 4600h + 1650 since 2020 now, it's treated me good 🙏

ok noted thx for the suggestion mate!

How much did it cost

around 70k

Remove any anti-virus software installed that is not Windows Defender. McAfee and Norton behave like malware. As long as you don't go to the shady websites and look for singles near you, you should be fine with just Windows Defender.

just removed mcafee xd xd u r right they r useless!

The most important thing is an external keyboard. Get it asap alongwith some kind of lifting mechanism for the laptop to get proper airflow.

Ok i have an old keyboard i will use that since many comments suggested the same to me, Yes i use lift i use book behind the laptop the picture is just for show Thx for the advice though mate

Run it as cool as possible using under-neath heat fan etc. for its long life. I feel very sad when people like you save money with heart and after 1 year or so when laptop goes out of Warranty, the laptop goes dead and the repair cost 80% cost of laptop itself as its mobo. need to be replaced and can't be repaired as mostly laptop repair shops are not well qualified and they directly suggest for board replacement instead of repair .. Congrats. btw..

Yes i use elevation and room cooler around me facing the laptop since it cools down 5-7⁰

Ik everyone has already recommended you to get extra ram but there's more to checking for compatibility than just cl and ram speed. Open command prompt as admin and run the command "wmic partnumber" to check your exact ram and copy the number it displays and google it. Then check if the ram is x8 or x16. If your ram is x16 then buy

Omg dude that's very helpful thax for taking the time and suggesting i would definitely take a look!

bro

Congrats! What’s the first game you played on it?

HITMAN and san and reas multiplayer

Do not forget to clean the laptop by taking the backplate off, watch youtube guides on it and never compromise on thermal paste.

i dont think i will ever open the laptop back as i fear dropping any screws on the mobo and screwing up (pun intended) the whole laptop !

Be careful with the hinges. All the best!

any precautionary measures you can suggest pls?

Have fun with it :)

those are piece of decoration i bought from street vendors in hyderabad! sorry there is no link!

Ayy I have the exact same pair of .bottles

did u buy it from hyderabad??

Get a extended 3 year warranty.Laptop isn't designed for gaming except for one laptop asus rog with the separate thermal docker.The battery on it will fail within 1 year or 1.5max and you won't get a replacement for it .Get a extended 3 year warranty immediately

oh thx a lot man i will do it ASAP!

Install linux come to the dark side

ok first lemme build the patience to type 200 commands to open browser and type this comment!

Congratulations Happy gaming

thx mate

Congratulations man!

thx buddy

Congratulations

thx mate

Save some more and upgrade the ram and if possible add an SSD /hdd

yeah i will add a RAM in a few months and i have an external 1TB HDD!!

Don't buy any antivirus software. windows defender is more than enough Enjoy.

Yeah just deleted mcafee and thx

Invest in a keyboard.

I have a cheap one i will use that then afterwards i will buy a mechanical one Thx for the suggestion mate

Add another 8gb ram and you'll get the max performance. And keep some gap under your laptop. You may buy a cheap laptop stand or even just use household items under your laptop doesn't matter. Just keep some gap. It will improve your airflow since air inflow is at bottom.

Ok noted Thx mate

Congratulations op! Can you link me your wallpaper

Here you go

if its 3200mhz

Ok will comsider this also! But the serial number doesn't match!

I'm also gonna buy it soon. Just confused between GTX 1650 of this same model and RTX 3050.How much did you pay for it? Will it worth extra money I'm spending on it for 3050? I'm on tight budget. Also my main purpose is coding. Gaming is just average

I brought it in around 70k from offline market, I guess if u wanna game casually and budget is extra tight go with 1650! or else spend a little for future proofing and get the 3050 model! Since u will get a little benefit of DLSS in AAA games!

buy 8gb ram in big billion day sale of amazon, flipkart. can u add in title for how much u bought it for

Ok noted, I bought it for around 70k! And thx for the suggestion!

Same model (or looks like it at least), different specs here.

Noted and thx for the suggestion!

Congrats! The lights look pretty

Thx buddy!

To stop the keyboard backlight from automatic turning off, you can change the settings in BIOS mode.

Yeah i knew that Anyways thanks for the suggestion!

Be careful with the hinges - they are terrible!

Any precautionary measures u can suggest.?

Make it dual channel 16gb ram and ssd upgrade or you can buy an extra hdd to store your games and big files and external mouse and keyboard

Yeah i got like 50 suggestions for these things i will upgrade the RAM and i have an external 1 TB HDD and mouse and keyboard also! Btw thanks for the suggestions!

My friend works at a service center and he told the main problem with these laptops were the hinges, so I would suggest taking good care of them and buy a controller it increases your gaming experience to a different level, you can never go back to keyboard and mouse expect for some games. Redgear has a very good one at a very good price

Ok noted will consider, Thx for the suggestion

Welcome to the masterrace son

🤗

Good Congratulations 🎉🎉🎊🎊

But Buy External Keyboard and Mouse to use with it, don't try to Game with Laptop keyboard 👍 Save it. Even expensive laptop keyboards can be damaged while gaming Suggestion

Thx bro

I recommend getting a controller for all third person games. I also recommend you download rain meter and check youtube how to set it up and remove icons from desktop to make your setup look clean AF. Download flo launcher as well so it’s super easy to just search and open stuff instantly.

Ok ok noted Yes i have used rain meter in my friends pc its really great i will surely try that And flo launcher is new lemme research about it And thx for the suggestion btw

It is not necessary to put cooling pad or something, I have the same laptop from the 3 years, & It is still working like a new model, all I can suggest are games, play WITCHER3

Yeah i will get a aluminium laptop stand and that will do the work for me, And thx for the suggestion i will definitely try WITCHER 3

Congratulations mate!!!

Thx bro

Looks good. I think this is a good base laptop. Enjoy it, you worked hard for it and deserve it.

ok noted

Congratulations, my dude. Happy gaming

[удалено]

I have been thinking about buying gtx 1650 version as 3050 falls out of my range. May I ask how much did you paid for this one?

Lol same specs same company different Laptop tho. I also need crucial tips

what how?

[удалено]

Under volt your gpu and cpu and if you are enough tech savvy then also do a thermal repaste

no i dont think i will atleast not now lemme spend some more time then i will try these!

Can anyone help me with suggestions for a good laptop in 60 k to 70 k range , i know the basic stuff but I'm not upto date with the latest stuff? Of anyone is interested to help, throw in a pm please.

Anyways i will buy this one Crucial 8GB Single DDR4 3200 MT/S (PC4-25600) CL22 SR X8 Unbuffered SODIMM 260-Pin Memory - CT8G4SFS832A

RTX 3060 would be better.

Ok

Congrats matey, can you tell me how much it cost? I am also planning to buy a rtx 3050 laptop.

Around 70k in offline market

Congratulations..

Thx bro

Belkin surge protector - to deliver clean spike-free mains voltage to the charger and laptop.

Don’t keep it always plugged in. It will kill the battery sooner than you think.

Oh someone on quora saud its ok to keep it always plugged since it stops after 100% Anyways thx for the suggestion

I like the diy table lamps

Sorry to disappoint but the table lamps aren't DIY i bought them from Hyderabad street vendors!

Cost?

Around 70k

Research about optimus , preferably save money for an external monitor

That's new, But i will need it majorly for college so external monitor kind of doens't fit it Anyways thx for the advice

I bought the same laptop in March and now saved enough money to upgrade the RAM. Hope you do the same. BTW, how much did you get yours for?

Yes for sure, I got it for around 70k from offline market!

Good on you, suggest you to add a ram stick with same frequency and cast latency...also disable some hp services like analytics service in services.msc...make it as manual and then disable that one.

Ohk RAM i will add And the second thing lemme do some research then i will try them for sure Thx for the suggestion though!

wait how did you get the rtx 3050, i have the same laptop with the ryzen 5 3550h and a gtx 1650

Its the upgraded model like 2021 model of hp pavilion gaming laptop

A 6Gb graphics would have helped but atleast it is the latest generation so yes it seems good to me.

ok
