HP OMEN 45L Review - What's changed from the OMEN 30L

[@DaPoets]

Shout out to HP OMEN & HyperX for the review units, helping to make this possible!

OMG. You crack me up with the stick pointer.

[@WarTV14]

Thank you for the review. I’m getting this new computer soon and wanted to know if I should add two more sticks of the same speed and GBs or just spring for a 4 stick kit? I intend to do a decent amount of 4k gaming but primarily editing on this computer with a tiny bit of 3D work.

Had this for a few months and love it. This wont support the next gen gpus coming out but my rtx 3080 ti will be good for years. I also got the msi ge76 12th gen qhd laptop and love it too. I recently got the oculus quest 2 but working 74 hours a week and havent had time to get it up and runnin. I got this for my dcs and il-2 flight sims as well as flight simulator 2020. Probibly dont need it if not doing flight sims.

This was a solid PC for Star Citizen which is more demanding than Flight Sims :-)

Ordered one and had no rgb light around the liquid cooler pump. Yours has it though.

Hi, since the CPU is liquid cooled, does it require periodic maintenance and consumables refilled? Love the review!

AIOs do not require maintenance

Thanks this is a great review! For the 45L I’m thinking about picking one up now but wondering about rtx 4090 upgradability. Assuming 4090 is even thicker, do you see any potential issues in fitting it?

Would you say the 30L would be gutsy enough for VR gaming on decent graphics

[@kasimirmaser99]

Nice review, and I love the stick! I'm in the market right now, and this machine is at the top of my list right now. I'm a 30+ year primarily Mac user, and I'm switching to PC full time because I need a new computer and Apple is going in a direction I simply cannot support. Put short, I feel like Apple is taking advantage of their customers, especially their long term customers, by capitalizing on their brand equity through the release of simultaneously unprecedentedly expensive and terrible products. I wanted to build a PC, but the component costs are still a bit high. Plus, I've found a good deal on a 45L, so I think I'll go this route instead.

[@DaPoets]

Enjoy your 45L!

[@kasimirmaser99]

@@DaPoets Thanks!

[@LifewithDimeji]

I’m also a long time Max user and everything is very expensive. I want to make the switch the omen is also what I’m looking for. Where are you getting your real from.

[@kasimirmaser99]

@@LifewithDimeji I was able to pick up an Omen 45L with an i7 12th gen cpu, RTX 3080, 16GB of RAM for about $1700 from HP's website during their recent Labor Day Sale. I was also fortunate enough to get a HP U28 4K 28" color calibrated monitor for about $300 from Amazon. It's 60Hz, but I use my machine primarily for content creation and photography, so that's not a problem for me. HP had a good deal on their Omen 27i 1440p 144Hz monitor ($379, I think), which would be better for gaming. I think the monitor deal is still on the HP site, but the computer deal is not. You can also buy the case by itself on the HP website to do your own build. Regardless of how you go, watch for a sale, especially now that GPU and CPU prices are falling. You might even get a better deal that I did! I would have waited a bit if I could have. Good hunting!

[@LifewithDimeji]

@@kasimirmaser99 like I said I’ve always used Apple but after coworker keep talking g about a gaming pc, my nephew also had one and my friend also showed me his gaming set up I’ve been all in. Steam seems pretty cool for gaming and also I think this might also be good since I so photography. I’ll look out for a deal.

Couple weeks ago I purchased the 45 l with the eforce RTx 4090. So far I'm loving it, the boot up time is incredible, I had put the fans and turbo mode and it is still extremely quiet. I have an edited any 4K videos yet but I'm looking forward to doing this.

How do you turn off the rgb lights on RAM, GPU, fans and logo? I don't need the fancy lights. I have tried everything and decided to unplug the fan lights but the 4090 gpu/logo/ram is still am issue.

[@carlossaraiva2044]

Hey. Thanks for the good vid. I have a HP 45L GT22-0023np, with a motherboard BlizzardOC SSID: 8819. Is it possible to have 128GB of RAM? What would be the recommended brand and model? Also on the second M.2 socket is it possible to fit any 4TB PCIe NVMe TLC Solid-State Drive? Again what would be recommended brand and model? Thanks for the vids and keep strong.

[@dcdell2008]

I am considering the new 45L RTX4090 and with some discounts I am able to buy from HP for about $3,800 before taxes, do you think that is reasonable? I know they are still expensive...care to share what was your approximate total cost for your 45L 3090ti unit build above? I am just trying to see how what delta is...thanks again

[@eastcoast8435]

Honestly the only thing I wish it had that it doesn't is a few more high speed USB ports and another full size PCIe slot, maybe a water cooled GPU version would be cool.

Of course the performance is top. Look at the GPU and CPU! But what about the rest? What timings on the RAM for example? What about the memory and it's speed? ( I know HP uses SSDs, but at what speed and other conditions?) Do they undervold (limit) the CPU and why? Of course I can play the newest games and SC with that machine. But that isn't a review. What about other games, other use-cases? Srsly, this was not a review. This was advertising!
