OmenCore v2.1.0 Released - Free, Open-Source Alternative to OMEN Gaming Hub
Where is the OMEN Gaming HUB free code located?
Videos
I recently purchased a HP Pavilion Gaming that comes with Omen Gaming Hub preinstalled. I was wondering if I could avail any free games...
Hey everyone! I wanted to share OmenCore, an open-source fan control and system management tool I've been developing for HP OMEN laptops.
What is OmenCore?
OmenCore is a lightweight, free alternative to HP's OMEN Gaming Hub. It gives you direct control over your laptop's fans, performance modes, keyboard lighting, and more - without the bloat, telemetry, or 500MB+ RAM usage.

Why I Built It
Like many of you, I was frustrated with OMEN Gaming Hub:
- Slow startup and high memory usage
- Features locked behind HP accounts
- Random fan behavior and no real custom curves
- Breaking after Windows updates
OmenCore talks directly to your laptop's WMI BIOS and EC - the same hardware interfaces OGH uses - but without the overhead.
What's New Since v1.5
v2.0 brought major features:
- 🐧 Linux support - Full CLI with fan control, thermals, and systemd daemon
- 🎮 Game Profiles - Auto-apply fan/performance settings when games launch
- 📊 On-Screen Display - Real-time FPS, temps, fan speeds overlay (RTSS integration)
- 🔋 Battery Care - 80% charge limit that actually works
- ⚡ GPU Power Boost - WMI-based TGP control for NVIDIA GPUs
- 🧹 Bloatware Optimizer - Safely disable HP services you don't need
v2.1 adds:
- 🔀 Independent CPU/GPU Fan Curves - Separate curves responding to individual component temps
- 🐧 Linux GUI - Full Avalonia UI for Linux users
- ⚡ GPU Overclocking - Core/memory offset via NVAPI (where supported)
- 🌈 Ambient Lighting - Screen color sampling for RGB sync
- 🎮 Game Library - Scan Steam/Epic/GOG/Xbox games, create profiles directly
- 🔔 Toast Notifications - Mode change feedback
- 13 bug fixes including settings persistence, hotkey issues, and fan preset defaults

Happy to answer any questions. Feedback and bug reports welcome on GitHub or r/omencore!
The recent blog says it’s located in the homepage banner. Where is that? Help would be greatly appreciated.
I'm in the process of getting a HP Omen 16. My previous gaming laptop was an ASUS TUF and with ASUS we have Armoury Crate, which is a nightmare.
I know that Omen has the Gaming Hub, what about it? Keep or remove? Useful or not?
I always uninstall the Armoury Crate on my ASUS and I never really had to control the fans or RGB lightning of my keyboard, everything worked fine. So I'm wondering if it's the same for the Omen version so that it doesn't really have any impact on the overall performances.
