Well, hands down. All I have learned so far is the fact that the processor idle power may be minimal in S0 mode, but it seems that in certain models or situations it is still too much for the processor without some kind of cooling during longer sleep periods. Many people (including me) have...

It seems that deeper sleeping states (S1-S3) have been available earlier for Omen 30L product range. After recent BIOS updates HP has apparently decided to roll back permanently to S0. There must have been more or less issues (which erictbar and many others have described) behind this decision...

Maybe S3 has been available earlier in previous BIOS versions. It seems that latest BIOS has changed it. Or maybe there is different power save combinations available because of multiple HW options. As I wrote earlier, I still suspect that the major reason behind all this mess is the thermal...

Otherwise OK, but does not help to understand how system should work out of the box or with standard drivers. I made yesterday (after many tests) complete return to factory image with BIOS F.12A and only S0 was available after recovery.

I have F.12A and only S0 enabled.

You have almost new Omen 30L with Ryzen 5800X and S3 enabled? Very interesting. Can you tell BIOS version?

Maybe. Personally I have been using laptops so many years that I was kind of shocked how primitive these power saving features can be with a brand new desktop computer today. Initial impression was that there must be something broken.

After testing and wondering I think this is the case with HP Omen 30L desktop owners: S0 power state (idle with network connection) means that the CPU never actually sleeps. After entering to sleep, all fans are stopped. This means (depending on hardware configuration) that the CPU will get hot...

I am exactly in the same situation. Just received 2 days old Omen 30L and symptoms are the same. I think this is purely a driver issue. Tried many things already without success. I'm afraid that new machine is not going to change anything.
