$1500 HP Omen Gaming PC: Another HOT Pre-Built! 

Or the GamersNexus award of, 'its better than Dell'

its like scoring higher than the worst kid in class, like yeah, you did it, but it wasnt that hard

Tell them to put less thermal paste than pizza sauce on pizzas

@@JeskidoYT eh, that's some underpaid factory worker just doing it as fast as they can. It doesn't hurt so why bother?

@@CheradenZakalwe true

Why are prebuilts bad?

@@Primez8902 well I got one a month ago and it didnt even boot into windows. Had to return it and the second one crashed on me twice and gave me a heart attack(its working fine now). Yeah these things are gambles and they shouldn't be that for the price they are.

@@Alex-mp5xe Wouldint that be based on the company tho? Prebuilts should worl right out of the box. If the company doesnt test it they shouldint even be making prebuilt pc's.

I really hope you never have to experience that.

@@Primez8902 Not all are bad. Some are bad because of profit. They either cut costs or design it badly so that you can use their service for repairs.

It's a weirdly common issue.

Thank you sooooooo much for mentioning this!!!!

I want to get one of the 25l pcs and try add coolers so thank you

@@mayarunnessa557 I don’t know if you’ve gotten it already but you should go for the 30l or maybe even the 45l, but I don’t know as much about the 45l so do some research on both of them

Thanks

Same will have mines next week

That's a steal of a price I paid £1,099 for a new Omen 15 with rtx 2060 5 months ago

@@Lif7ed 1049€ for a 3060 + r5 5700h combo. Sorry for your loss of some money 😅😅

@@emirmet You win some you lose some I guess 👍

@@emirmet mate its 2021 people sell a 300$ GPU like the 3060 for 800$

Bruh moment

Damn, thats really cool, thanks for the info. If i may ask, do you have a source?

@@TheAlbaniaGaming source : trust me bro

that cant be true.....alto msi annd hp might use the same OEM for cases

No wonder the case is designed like an oven.

Get a good Steel Series. I love those keyboards and have owned several over the years, all fantastic.

Lets solve a murder I can help you with that!👍👍

Awesome! Thanks for watching. 😁

Same lol

@@DawidDoesTechStuff Just wondering what monitor did you use in the video

And the way he says thity and PEE-sea... And pretty much everything else.

Check out Dan Kam You Know. He has done pretty much every Mod you can think about to his HP 25L.

Yes thats juat what i want

@@scottwelch5001 Yes DanKamYouKnow is great at showing you every part of the omen and what you can do to improve thermals in the Omen case. Still there is only so much that you can do with the Omen case. I finally upgraded my Omen case to a BeQuiet 802 which is night and day in terms of thermals and looks and it's built like a tank. It's a bit large and has 7x 140mm case fans, but I wanted room to expand for future upgrades so a larger case is what I wanted. DanKam I believe used a Meshify 2 compact for his case swap and that is a very nice case also and is a lot smaller than the BeQuiet 802. The only thing left from my original HP Omen is the CPU and motherboard. I upgraded the power supply to a Corsair 850 watt, put in a 3060 GPU, upgraded ram, replaced the NVME drive with a WD Black w/heatsink and added 2x Samsung SSDs, upgraded to a Noctua CPU cooler, and upgraded the wifi card to an intel wifi 6 card. My favorite upgrade was the case swap though. It's looks and performs so much better now than the stock Omen case. No more worries about thermal throttling and I can run my i7 CPU at max turbo boost speeds all day and all night now. Whereas the stock Omen case and stock Omen CPU cooler config leads to near instant thermal throttling and decreased performance.

They can be borderline frustrating, BUT! It's absolutely doable. Just need to do some drilling, cutting, bending to get job done sometimes. It's kinda like a dark sould boss. Trial and error, trial and error, until you figure it out, and BEAT THAT FUCKIN BOSS! Or in this case it's obtaining consistent optimal temps.

I swear I see you everywhere XD

Why are you everywhere

ah another annoying verified youtuber nobody knows about, commenting on every damn video they find

@@mrducky179 yup they just want likes

Crime and Punishment is a great novel but it is very long, I will agree. Great book though.

Thank you so much! It's a very exciting step. 😁

@@DawidDoesTechStuff ever thought of going for a bigger house and having a couple rooms dedicated for this? could save money in the long run

I find with the Omens is that the moment you start sticking beefier GPUs than a 2060( the 2060 super can get a bit toasty if it can't get good amounts of air people forget it's has the PCB and memory config of the ig 2070) in them those thermals become a issue same for the CPUs i5s and the 3600 from work just fine anything more than those parts hot and loud

I know right? I was really surprised.

my laptop, gigabyte aero 15x, cost 2200$, and has god awful audio. when nothing is playing you can hear the electrical noise through the board. its actually better to just stick to bluetooth most of the time

Audio is 100% garbage. After I reinstalled windows, the audio sounds terrible and has audio delay

@@neru-8852 Hmm. It seems they don't have someone at HP that values audio.

In the old days I always installed xfi pci sound cards, but you can't even do that here.

did u switch it out cause i’m scared to or how does that work? i’m kinda new to this stuff. i heard it’s great with the Ryzen 5 3600x

@@elizabethhh221 left it in, its good

LMAO

How did you get access to my email?

@@DawidDoesTechStuff what?

@@DawidDoesTechStuff xD

Holy shit it’s Saturday

Awesome! I'm glad to hear you are enjoying your PC. With reduced temperatures it should make fun of great system long term. 👍

How is the audio?

@@mashupworld2570 I use an Astro gaming headset so my audio is good

What GPU and rear fan did you replace them with?

How did you change the GPU fan? I am getting this same pc because of the way the market is right now and would love to have that info in case I need to do that.

And without even having to use a hacksaw to modify/upgrade?! Hell has truly frozen over!

just bought the newest HP Omen, tried to upgrade the stock 2x8 3200mhz RAM to 4x8gb 3600mhz RAM.... The new ram is locked at 2400mhz and can't be clocked in BIOS x) so much for upgradable

@@Runey7 I think with the last BIOS update they added XMP for memory management. I have the 30L 64Gb (4x16), RTX3080, I9 10900KF 1TB m2 SSD, 2Tb HDD (garbage except for backup files). I couldn't refuse the price $2675 on one week price drop Dec 2021. But like you said there are limits with the motherboard. I can't use the new RTX 40 series, nor Intels new ARC GPUs. I don't think I can upgrade the CPU to a I9 12th or 13th generations. So, except flashy RGB upgrades it's limited at best.

@@bobbyd6680 You're right they do have XMP options and i can choose speeds, but it has no effect the computer just beeps and restarts with the ram at the lowest option :/ oh well..... That's a great price, compared to all the other computers on the market no one could offer the same specs for the low price thats why i also went with it.

Same here with my 30L, specs are rtx 3060 Ryzen 5 5600G 16GB ram

Did you have to change out the fans? Or is the temp good with the fans that were already there?

@@Mic_Drop_Coversations my temps have been decent. Doesn't get higher than 60C

@@Johnny-tk9lk do you stream games with ryzen 5?

It looks naked

Especially when you consider the build it's in...sad indeed.

overpriced prebuilt crap

Ikr! My Compaq tower from '98 has more rear io!

Oh but that shroud is gonna make it run extremely hot. The shroud blocks airflow, as you can see, it extends all the way to the pcb, so no air can escape the fin stack. Simply horrible.

@@yanuehara8017 hot air purgatory

Get 30L it runs ok

Get a better case it will be fine

@@C0ZYL4ZY no. It won't. Have you seen the waifu gpu? That shit is less restrictive than this and performed horribly even on open bench.

Or replace it with a fine mesh. Keep it clean from bugs and some bigger dust particles but allow air to get it. In my case this would work considering how cold the room I play in is. 62 degrees f°

Just add fans top and bottom its an awesome pc.

Get your hands on an older model, and beef that bad boy up. I personally recommend the Obelisk 875-0070.

I am also looking for something similar. Maybe run a raid or 2 in Destiny every once in awhile but also something that can handle multiple rendering programs. Maybe not simultaneous D2 and rendering programs but a machine capable of those things when it calls for it

Thank you so much! Very nice of you to comment. 😁

arent they in the wrong slots ?

@@Batyalas it wouldve worked, just not with the benefits of dual channel config

@@Batyalas my mom always told me to put them in B and D to close circut.

@@PerezBSclan It is an OEM mb so it probably doesn't matter where you put the Ram

@@pokewtf906 The ram, when using 2 sticks, should have a gap between them, so you either put the ram in slot 1 and 3 or 2 and 4. The RAM should occupy A1 and B1 or A2 and B2.

The Ryzen ones are made by cooler master, and I would not doubt this is too, especially since the PC has a cooler master power supply.

I can say from personal experience, it doesn't cool like a Ryzen cooler... It barely cools at all. That was the first thing I did when I got mine, getting a real CPU cooler...

Either way it's a fail as a cooler.

I do, but god its rtx 3060 it should be on high atleast

That sucks

Thinking about getting that exact system, how’s is it? Does it also run really hot like this one?

@@eternityvisuals2758 The CPU, GPU, SSD, and power supply are all happily living in new machines. The rest was thrown away rather quickly. Memory was locked at 2400, on board audio was really terrible, motherboard was a stripped OEM with no real expansion, the case RGB was proprietary to that motherboard, and the single intake fan behind the glass didn’t do well on thermals. For an average user, this machine may be great, but it had limitations that didn’t work for my use case.

what psu do you have, want to do the same but want to avoid changing that if possible.

@@BradTheRoy The setup worked fine with the stock 500 watt power supply that came with the Omen.

@@Wigglythegreat2 appreciate the fast reply!

@@BradTheRoy 👍

It was already called Omen before HP bought them out they were at one point really high end more of custom setups look up some old omens you'll see

Haha!! I nearly made a "Bad Omen" joke but held myself back 😅

@@DawidDoesTechStuff why didnt u im disapointed lol

Iv had multiple omen pre built and they are actually amazing.

Yes you can add a fan to the top, there’s a good noctua fan from Amazon that you can add easily

@@voltahlh5440 Been there, done that. Although it certainly helps, this case just wasn't designed with good airflow in mind.

@@Wigglythegreat2 should I cop this 25L and make some fixes like people are suggesting? Or just go ahead and build one at my local memory express shop?

@@Roxus1 knowing what I know about them now, I would build my own.

What would you go with instead?

I suck at building anything. I suck at the most simple forms of cable management for keyboards and stuff. I would mess up so hard. So i paid for my system to be build with the stuff i want (as long as it is compatible). I paid a bit more OFC but now i have great cable management and a perfectly build system in general :D No bloatware, no bullshit. But i assume if you really try hard and look out for reviews then you can definitely find a prebuild from one of the mainbrands thats worth the money. I would never go gaming laptop again though, had 2 - both were just heating elements for my apartment and my hands (ouch) and the OMEN was the worst offender.

U never know cause that board is oem they maybe made the regular dual channel 1 3 not 2 4

No I don’t think so

Its an intel cpu so its better to use 1st and 3rd slot

@@alynx424 why the normal slot for dual channel is 2 and 4 so you only use 3 and 4 if you have 4 ram stick

@@derpg8602 look at the inside of his pc its in slot 1+3 not 2+4. My hp omen also came with ram in slot 1 and 3. Cpu-z is also telling me im running dual channel.
