    I've finally come full circle. I had to do a swap for my mother board from the old Omen mother board. I came back to your video and watched it for a tutorial. I have finally completely moved on from all of my Omen parts and have a fully customized PC. Thank you for your videos throughout the years as I used them as reference for how to swap out new parts.

    Hey guys! Thank you for watching the videos and your support! Once again, I am sorry that this tutorial is not for swapping a new board into the Omen case, but everything in the tutorial applies to swapping a new board into the Omen, only thing is you'll be using a Micro ATX board! PLEASE SEE THE DESCRIPTION AS I HAVE OUTLINED THE WHOLE PROCEDURE THERE!
    Here are the links for everything I used:
    Amazon Affiliate Links ( Helps support the channel! ):
    AORUS Elite X570 Motherboard:
    amzn.to/3yu7Kjm ( AMD CPU )
    Crucial Ballistix RAM:
    amzn.to/3ytFw87 ( x2 for 32GB )
    Antech PSU Extensions:

    amzn.to/3c0yONF ( 1TB )
    Thermal Grizzly Thermal Paste Spatula:
    amzn.to/3f6sjL6 ( 3 Pack )
    As far as results go: If you saw my case swap video where I transferred the Omen motherboard over, my temperatures pretty much stayed the same. My CPU temps at idle are anywhere from 30-40c, gaming temps between 45-60c and render temps are 70-78c. My GPU stays around 55-65c while gaming as well! The big improvements I found are with my 3600mhz RAM and using an SSD for my "backup drive". Editing videos is MUCH quicker and the PC feels more responsive. It's also really nice to use the BIOS to OC and make completely custom fan curves ( FOR EACH FAN HEADER!! ). Really happy with the results and I think the builds looks fantastic!

      That’s not necessarily true. It depends on what processor the Omen comes with and usually the 10700K’s, had a 120mm AIO, so I’m not sure if the 11700 does as well. I would monitor your temps and see where you’re at, but usually they run in the 70-78c range, which is completely safe.

      I honestly don’t think so. Most motherboards require a BIOS flash to be able to work with a 5xxx series AMP CPU, and there’s no way to access the BIOS on a Moria 3 to do the flash. Not sure how that would work. If you’re going with a Zen3 chip, you may as well look at a new motherboard.

    hey Dan, I bought a 25L omen gaming PC earlier this year and I've come across the problem that its cooling capabilities are garbage. it came with a Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060 and I noticed yours is obviously not that. I was wondering what kind of GPU could I upgrade too that maybe has an inbuilt fan or just can generally process the same level of graphics at a lower temperature and how much that could work or if you recommend I completely change the case like you did in order for more airflow. I really want to be able to play Mount and Blade Bannerlord, but at the moment, even with 2 added 120mm fans, one on bottom and one on top, it still runs upwards of 72-75 for both cpu and gpu on literally the lowest graphics. If I go from "very low" to just "low" the GPU temps easily and consistently sit over 80 maxing out at 84 (temps are all in Celsius). I have the specs for my PC and would love to share with you.

    • @DanKamYouKnow
      @DanKamYouKnow  3 роки тому +1

      Hey Michael! Well, there are a few things you can do. You can use MSI Afterburner to set a custom fan curve for your GPU fan on your 2060. This will result in more noise form the GPU fan but lower temps down a bit. I dropped my temps by 5-10c on the GPU with settings a custom fan curve.
      You could upgrade the GPU but the graphics card market right now is absolutely horrible. Finding ANY graphics card at a decent price is almost impossible.
      I would try MSI Afterburner first and see how it works for you:
      ua-cam.com/video/X5xuJCt7vf0/v-deo.html
      Your fan curve WILL look different than mine because your GPU is different. Experiment with the curve and what works best for you.

    Hey Dan! I have been watching all of your videos and love your channel! At this point, I think you have talked me into buying a 25L I found a good deal on with 64GB Ram, i9 10900, RTX3070, and 2TB m.2. That said, your videos have shown me that I will probably need to upgrade the case and cooler and I have factored that into the price and it still makes sense over a NZXT pre-built performance wise. I also have a 750W Gold I can swap out if need be. My question is this, if you were starting over, would you just have bought a NZXT pre-built for a couple hundred more? Also, what big benefit do you get out of swapping this mobo? I am a bit of a noob and don't quite understand what the big benefit it between the Omen board and a different board aside from a bit more customization in the bios. Can you elaborate? Thanks!!

    • @DanKamYouKnow
      @DanKamYouKnow  3 роки тому

      Omen motherboards are very limited as far as settings adjustments goes. Including power options / XMP ( memory speeds for aftermarket RAM ) / Overclocking & under-volting / BIOS adjustments which include SO many different settings / fan curves and adjustments / RGB headers ( Omen has NONE ) / More m2 slots for storage depending upon the board. If the pricing is better on the NZXT model, then I would probably go for that one. It will have better thermals and they probably don't have restrictions on the motherboard, but that I am not 100% sure. OR you could go with the Omen and eventually do a case swap, which would dramatically lower temps. Hope this helps

      Hey!! Yes, that should work out just fine. Just make sure whatever case you are thinking of going with is compatible with the motherboard and cooler you are looking at. Some cases only support Micro ATX, so it won’t fit a Standard ATX case and some cases only support 240mm radiators, so a 280mm won’t fit.
      It is definitely possible and very similar so what I did. As long as you make sure there are no conflicts between parts, should work out just great! 👍🏻

OR with the current prices of AMD cpus dropping is it worth sticking out for an AMD 5000 series/ waiting for the 7000 series later this year?

    Another great video Dan! Hey, I got an Intel i5 11400 CPU in my Omen 25L. Although the CPU comes with integrated graphic, HP did another dumb thing - the motherboard has no HDMI port as a secondary display. I use a smaller monitor to display instrument panels when flying in MSFS 2020. However, FPS will take a huge hit if the secondary display is connected to the GPU as well. I suppose if I do a similar swap using a motherboard with a HDMI port, I will be able to take advantage of the integrated graphic from the CPU for the second monitor. According to gamers, this setup will not hurt FPS for the game in the main monitor. Am I on the right track?

    • @DanKamYouKnow
      @DanKamYouKnow  2 роки тому +1

When I pop up the MFD and PFD (right ALT key + a click) and move the window to the second monitor, FPS usually drops by 10-15. I heard it is due to bad game architecture which should be fixed in future releases. There is no reason why the pop-ups should degrade the performance by so much. The work-around right now is to use iGPU driven displays. You can search "MSFS | Fix FPS Loss on Pop Out Screens" for a UA-cam video on this topic. :)

      @EVMANVSGAS 2 роки тому

      @@DanKamYouKnow I realize that. I have seen in most benchmarks that once you are at 3200 it doesn't make much difference to go a little faster and I'd hate to see people waste their money, especially if they have nothing to do with the existing ram they are taking out. I was wondering if your case showed worthwhile improvement as in how much faster you can render videos and such. I mean if you already have 32GB of 3200 is it worth the extra $150 just to upgrade to 3600 in case people think that is the thing to do. I don't think there is a ROI for such an upgrade. Of course the placebo effect kicks in and it feels faster, but then again you dumped an old rotational drive at the same time and I'd bet that was the most of your newfound snappiness. I personally have downclocked my 3600 to 3200 and other than synthetic benchmarking in aida64 showing MB?s speed difference in the real world I didn't notice much at all. Of course the CAS latency makes as much of a difference as the higher Mhz as in if you go from CL16 ram at 3200 and switch to CL18 ram at 3600 which a lot of it is you wont see any difference as they play off from each other.
      I really do like your videos though don't take this as being critical I was just wondering if you had any use case data that would support someone spending another $150 just to say you are running faster RAM, not that I haven't done this in the past myself :)

    • @DanKamYouKnow
      @DanKamYouKnow  2 роки тому

      There are a TON of benefits to switching to a different motherboard: Higher RAM speeds ( Most boards support 4,000+ ) / Individual fan curves per fan header / RGB headers / USB headers / Type C headers / BIOS adjustments / Overclocking, precision boost over-drive, and core frequency adjustments / multiple m.2 slots depending on the board / multiple PCIe slots depending on the board / Improved chipset cooling / More IO ports on the back / m2 heat sink(s) / 8 or 12 pin EPS connectors for CPU because HP Omen motherboards cap CPU wattage to 65w ( 4 pin ) and aftermarket boards do not have a cap / etc.
      The video was more of just a tutorial on how to do it and I'm not really sure that I mention that running faster RAM is the only reason to swap motherboards. I do not have any case data on the different RAM speeds but there are a number of good reasons to swap to a new motherboard. Plus, installing NON HP RAM in an Omen causes the latency to be VERY high. My 32GB of 3200mhz RAM in the Omen ran at like CL22 ( So bad ), but now my 3,600 mhz RAM runs at CL16 so it will definitely be faster

      Well, Omen motherboard do limit some power so you might see some gains when switching motherboards. It mainly opens you up to WAY more settings adjustments with the BIOS. Like overclocking / fan curves / XMP / Voltage changes / etc. The FPS you’ll be getting really depends on the CPU / GPU.

I eventually bought an Omen because it was readily available and not price gouged. I released a TON of videos on swapping out all the parts and modifying, based on comments suggesting I do tutorial videos for each of them. Then my original plan was to find a CPU and GPU but that took a LOT longer than I expected because of the GPU shortage. I ended up finding a 3070Ti for my DIY build and had all the original parts for the Omen. I just recently came out with a video where I put it back together:
