Thanks for watching every one! If there is anything I missed in the review that you have experienced leave a comment and help others out. If there is anything else you want to know ask away ill do my best to get you a good answer.
Thank you for taking the time to put together these videos. I have been building my own PC computers since the 90s. I have never purchased a pre-built but after going to my usual haunts to buy parts - I realized that I could not do that since there were no GPUs available. So I purchased an HP 30L with an I7 CPU, RTX3090 GPU and 32 GB memory. Thanks to your videos and a few others - I was aware of what to expect good and bad when getting this computer. For example, I knew to avoid the I9 CPU due to lack of case air-flow, upgrade to 32 GB of memory up front since since upgrading memory down the road is not worth it for the motherboard supplied. I spec'd out this same configuration on several of the popular PC custom builder sites and the price for those was at least $1000 more than HP Omen 30L from the HP site. I have only had this computer for a week but I've been having lots of fun playing my games at max settings. I think my new HP Omen 30L is very usable in its current state and I don't plan on upgrading any time soon. I want to thank you for this great video series. It was very helpful to me.
My 30l is coming today. This info is very helpful. There's not many UA-camrs that actually own the this Omen. It helps to have someone who knows what they are talking about from actual ownership, not just a sponsored review.
Thank you very much. I hope I can continue to bring good info for every one and never become one of those clickbait youtube guys lol. That stuff drives me nuts when I am looking for help on youtube and people are just using click bait titles wasting my time.
After waiting over a year for the RTX 3080ti to be released and then having it delayed indefinitely, I decided not to wait any longer and go for the pre-build option and landed with the 30l, RTX3090 with the i9. What I'm going to do is make the fan changes from your previous videos and maybe look into the thermal pads of the GPU to get my vram temps under control (at the moment not having any issues with that so I might wait). In a year orso from now I'll start look into doing a case-swap as you are doing now. Great video's btw, they help a lot!
Great video dude, some great points in there. Hard to believe that they used components that run SO HOT in a case that literally has zero air flow. The case made more sense with 1xxx and 2xxx series cards and slightly older CPU's but still ran a bit warm but safe. Looking forward to watching your new DIY PC build as I'll also be doing mine fairly soon, but I still have some Omen content planned. Your component choices look strong dude! Also, who were you a tech for? I'm a mechanic for Toyota.
I was never a real mechanic. I worked in junk yards as a parts puller all my life. Its just easier to say mechanic, people never know what i mean by a parts puller lol. Yea man these pc parts are awesome. My thermals are so low its max temp is now what the idle temps where out of the box. Its made me want to put the same AIO on my older pc
This is the second pre-built computer I bought since I was 12. I just got tired of building so I caved for the gfx card. I got the 3070 edition but I'm going to push it until it crashes lol
I wish I'd seen your video before I bought this computer back in December 2021. Your prediction was on the money the video card blew its cork a week ago, fortunately I have the extended warranty.
I bought an Omen 30l directly from HP. Had it for about 3 months now. Mine has a i9 10900k, RTX 2080TI, 64GB RAM, 2 TB Western Digital Black SSD, and a 2TB HDD. My CPU actually runs really cool around 58-62 Celsius. The only issue I’ve had is my GPU will get up to 85 Celsius when I try a minor overclock. I raised the core clock by 200mhz and the memory clock by 100mhz and my temps dropped to a maximum of 77 Celsius. Over all I love the computer but damn if that motherboard they use isn’t a pos that I think about replacing every day
lol yea those motherboards yeesh. Glad to hear your cpu is actually running at a decent temp. One of the first people iv actually heard is not having an extreme over heating issue. That's really good.
thanks for your videos , I performed memory upgrade thanks to you successfully , well explained and no BS video , keep your videos coming , you do it well . I am also a retired mechanic , so I can relate to you lol . I own two Omen 30L (one for me one for my son ) we both use Intel i7 with RTX 3080 , they both ran way too hot , tried adding fans to no avail . switched cases with Lian Li 215 on mine , it ran 11 degrees cooler right off the bat ... I highly recommend this case with a cooler master 280mm top mounted AIO , amazing . swapped Lian Li exhaust fan (3 pin ) with a Cooler Master 120 mm fan plugged on my motherboard and its perfect . did same swap on my son's computer , great success on both .
Those lian li cases are amazing aren't they. I really hope every single other case manufacturer learns something from them. Thank you very much for the kind words man I'm glad you got that memory upgraded!!
Thanks for the review straight to the point love it. I got the one with the 10850k and the 3080 and I was also thinking about doing the 4 upgrades aio, motherboard, power and a new case but I also got a 3 year warranty for it so I'll have to wait for now do all 4 upgrades.
I am so glad i found this. I was very close to buying it but had real concerns about the heat issues. Their support chat guys assured me since it was liquid cooled there was no problems ... I am glad I found some honest advice about this prebuilt. I have never even considered buying a prebuilt, much less one from hp. I would normally never do it.
Yea man it was really hard to admit I spent so much on something that wasn't "the best" you know. Most people do not want to admit that to themselves lol.
@@jdwtv6530 It looks like it could be a good machine. It has a very convincing appearance. Add in the desperation of the gpu shortage and I can see it happening.
Been following this whole circus from the beginning and I really appreciate you sharing your issues and workarounds. Please keep us posted on the final components that you do end up using as I'll most likely follow suit and get a better machine at the end of the day. I'm interested in getting a motherboard that will allow access to the Intel QuickSync features of the CPU (which requires motherboard video out in case you didn't know) since I have the same CPU as you to give additional strength on video processing encoding/decoding options in addition to the GPU encode/decode.
Thank you for checking out the videos. To be honest I do not know anything about the quick sync. Iv never made videos of any kind until now and only started so my boy could post fortnite videos. Not sure how I got myself wrapped up into posting computer videos haha. I will definitely look into that. I am looking at msi motherboards first, simply because the new aio I put on is msi and the rgb will all sync easer using the same mystic like software.
@@jdwtv6530 Yeah I was looking at the MSI MPG Z490 GAMING EDGE motherboard, hopefully someone that has it can chime in on if that would be a good option. I've just been browsing builds here to see what other people have been using and are happy with pcpartpicker.com/builds/by_part/nGFKHx. Anyhow, keep on doing what you're doing man I really do appreciate it!
I'm getting Omen 30L soon. I will indeed undervolt CPU/GPU (thanks for the vids btw) and most likely add more fans or replace the existing fans with Noctua fans. If that doesn't do the trick, I'll see if I can replace 120mm AIO with 240mm AIO, if there's room, with someone's help. I've never bought HP brand before as I usually stick with Avadirect but man, those GPUs, you can't buy them anywhere and HP only seems to have them at decent or bargain (considering current market) price with not too long of a build time.
I bought this system 3 weeks ago at Microcenter for $2999. I completely agree the system is complete trash as is. The temps were ungodly high and it sounded like a leaf blower when gaming. Bought a MSI z490 and got the 240 version of the MSI cooler. Transferred everything over to a Corsair 4000d Airflow and it runs beautifully. Still worth it in the end considering the market right now.
So glad some one else is being honest about their purchase. It really helps others looking to buy this hot mess lol. And yea I agree with prices being insane it can still be worth it to buy just to swap parts. Thank you for your comment and honest take on the Omen.
I replaced radiator fan and exhaust with Noctura fans. Temps dipped by 7-9 degrees and its quiet. I have the i9 with 3080ti and have had no issues with loud fan noises before either.
I literally did this, bought my computer on Thursday and Friday I was hitting it in a lian li dynamic case, new motherboard. Used my old ram and all that from my other pc. Took parts from my old pc and built my wife one.. my Only other add I’m doing is a psu
Hey, i have a version of the pc with the same processor but with a RTX 3080 GPU and i am also experiencing the overheat problem, but only on the cpu, the gpu is running just fine(max temps are 60-65 on the gpu). How ever the cpu is running way too hot(up to 95/97). I was wondering if you have tried undervolting the cpu to lower the temps? And if you think it could help, because i dont really have the money or the trust in my personal skills to move all of the components into a brand new case right now.
Is the HDD 2TB supposed to be the boot drive? The case isn’t bad at cooling when you got the glass panel off. I played New world around 60-70 for hours. I did end up adding a new mobo, Noctua cpu cooler and a new case w six fans cus it looked cooler. I would advice add more ram
Thanks for the vid man, quick noob question if i put the gpu into another rig with better airflow will it still operate fine? Would i need to install any drivers or anything?
Hey JD...great HP Omen videos. I'm going thru the same thought processes as you with this computer. I got mine (identical to yours) about two weeks ago from Microcenter for $2850. I followed your advise with the fan setup and appreciate the results. I have an extra 32GB Ram from my old computer and considering your approach about adding this ram. You are right about the fan noise...it scared me the first time I heard it rev up...sounded like a plane taking off :). I agree with you that it is a powerful computer and it is a shame that the case is too small for it. My big disappointment is the sound setup. I have an old school Creative Inspire P7800 7.1 speakers system and the lack of sound jacks in the back doesn't allow me to attach my speakers for true 7.1 enjoyment. Also, no extra slots on the MB to add a soundcard for my speaker setup. I did order an external Creative Sound Blaster X3 to resolve these issues (Best Buy for $119). In the end, I'll do one of two things: 1) I'll enjoy it for a few months and sell the system or just the GPU on ebay to get my money back (because of the high graphics card prices) and then build another one...but buying a graphics card would still be an issue with high prices. 2) Take out the GPU, CPU, and the 1TB HD and then buy a Z570 MB and use my 32GB ram and put it in my old case (Cooler Master Haf 932) that already has a 1000W modular power supply and a boat load of fans...then sell the Omen Case, MB, Power Supply, Fans, and 32GB HP Ram as a combo on ebay. So JD...please keep us posted with the case transfer and the type of motherboard that you are getting!
Thanks for the comment man and I absolutely will keep you posted. I really hope one day things will go back to normal for us and we can afford (or even find a GPU) to build our own computers again. These are crazy times.
Hey, just did a case swap for this piece of junk...I carried over CPU, GPU, HDD, and SSD to a new case and motherboard including a new 360 AIO cooler. No more overheating! However, I am still tinkering around with HP's RTX3090 because the memory is way too hot. I changed the thermal pads and paste, but it is still a bit overheating. I am undervolted GPU to keep memory temp at least around 86C, but at the cost of the fan noise which is over the roof around 2800RPM. Are there any suggestions on GPU settings in afterburner to lower GPU's memory temp decently enough with less fan noise and minimum performance cost? Is there even a sweet spot with this graphics card?
Yea i have the 10850k and it thermal throttles when gaming. The biggest problem is the mobo since u cant tweek the fan curve. So it just kills every component from the heat. will prob be getting a new mobo and case soon enough. Dont want to kill this expensive pc. Good honest video bro.
Hello, I notice that HP does not have support for the Omen 30l GT13-0092 on their website. Why I don't know. Did this rig come with a driver CD? I am concerned because if I want to put a fresh copy of windows on it I won't be able to install HP drivers. My GT13-0092 is on order now. Thank You
i just got the pc so ima do the fans u did and keep it like that for a year maybe later change it i subbed dont worry! i went thru almost all your viudeos lol thanks for the help
go to control panel > hardware and sound > power options > edit plan settings now press "change advanced power settings" press the plus sign on "processor power management" press the plus sign on "minimum processor state" and set it to 5% press the plus sign on "maximum processor state" and set it 99% literally doesn't even take 3 minutes and you should be good to go. no more temp problems or fucking apollo 13 launching to the moon
Good info! I bought the same model except mines has a 3080 and it overheats if I play warzone but I mostly use the computer to stream and make videos for UA-cam
The thing as a whole is borderline unusable without some tinkering. The case ventilation is just completely inadequate for the hardware that's in there. Essentially you NEED to do a rebuild with better case, or run the thing side panel open. You can do wonders to GPU memory thermals if you dare to open it up, change/add some quality 1mm thermal pads for memory chips and a bit of extra thermal paste around the GPU. My HP 3080 went from constant 110C throttle-level memory temps with minimum mem clocks to steady ~92C with +1050Mhz with ethereum miner running. Now HP memory temps are much better than on my asus tuf I got after the HP! The HP GPU is really very good with some memory cooling tinkering. Adding the extra thermal paste will increase your GPU core temps as the heat from memory will heat up your main cooler sink thus heating the core a bit but not so much it will be a problem. But no way it's gonna stay cool in original case with side panel closed.
@@ilmariylitalo8427 You are spot on my friend. hit the nail on the head. Also thank you for the thermal pad sizing. iv been trying to find the correct size before I tore mine down so this is very helpful!!
@@ilmariylitalo8427 Hey thanks for the info. My 3090 temps are on the high side even with undervolting. I have never taken a GPU apart before, how difficult was it to repaste and add the thermal pads?
@@alanreynolds4262 If you are familiar with a screwdriver and any hands-on technical experience, I'd say very easy. Plenty of videos on how to tear the thing apart (also HP's 3090 teardown video can be found), clean up and adding fresh pads and paste. Just make sure you have the right size screwdrivers around, all the screws on my HP card are size Phillips 1 = PH1. Before you start, run something like mining or benchmark or game to heat up your card before pulling it out of the PC, it will come apart easier when warm. Thermal paste and pads unglue easier. And make sure you remember which screw goes where, they are slightly different sizes. Good luck with your efforts!
FYI - my temps have been fine since I just put turbo fans on, average of 70-75 in very intensive CPU games at max settings. Yeah ie, tarkov. Needs to be on turbo though otherwise it runs out. Also tried an under volt which has me around 70 now and if I put max processor state to 99% it never gets above 70 and performance doesn’t seem to be effected a a lot. Does this thing have HDMI 2.1 though? I have a New tv on the way so I’m hoping so
So I looked for some type of spec sheet to verify it is HDMI 2.1 but I can not find any straight answer/spec sheet on it unfortunately.... So I took my pc downstairs and hooked it up to my tv to check myself and it works on my tv no issues. and yes my tv is hdmi 2.1 So you shouldn't have any issues. Good to hear your temps are under control. this has been a very annoying thing to deal with lol.
I have this PC and its louder than a vacuum, I just spent $700 ordering a case, 9 RGB fans and an 360mm aio... might even have to upgrade the motherboard which I really hope i don't. Also worth mentioning that when i purchased this pc, it was pictured with 4x 8gb rgb ram and when i received it i got 2x 16gb ram with no RGB. so now my my $3200 prebuilt is going to end up being a $4,000 + build
thanks a lot man you're helping me a lot in this struggle against the heat issue. i9 and 3080 here clear for take off. Undervolt saved the gpu but the i9 keeps on goin over 80°C. - 0.030mV if I'm not wrong, but still not enough. The fan above the case (liquid cooler) is soo bad I can barely feel it. Is there a way to make it run faster?
Can you post links to the case, AIO and MB you plan on using? I have a Corsair 4000D case with an i5-10400/GTX 1660 Super in it that I'm considering swapping CPU/GPU with, but I might end up ditching the HP MB and case if I decide to upgrade the RAM.
Absolutely the first link will be to the case. just to be aware it is only 110 at microcenter but 140 off amazon, The second link will be the AIO it is actually cheaper off amazon than microcenter but microcenter will price match for you if you want to get it all at one place. I chose this specific AIO because the pump is inside the radiator so you will have less problems with pump whine or any orientation issues. last link will be the motherboard. Now I am still not fully decided on the motherboard but I do like msi motherboards because of the heavy duty heat sinks installed on them and the easy access to overclocking features. I have not price checked this specific motherboard I am linking at micro center yet so I'm not sure if there is a price difference. If I find a better price or decide to go with a different motherboard i will let you know asap. www.amazon.com/Lian-Li-LAN2MRX-LANCOOL-Black/dp/B08CSQPBFJ/ref=sr_1_2?crid=19PVHM9JPZGFE&dchild=1&keywords=lian+li+lancool+ii+mesh+rgb&qid=1618335345&sprefix=lian+li+lancool+ii+mesh+rgb%2Caps%2C177&sr=8-2 www.amazon.com/MSI-MAG-CORELIQUID-360R-Rotating/dp/B087YL4DDY/ref=sr_1_4?dchild=1&keywords=360mm+AIO&qid=1618335597&sr=8-4 www.amazon.com/MSI-Tomahawk-Gaming-Motherboard-Socket/dp/B0876GJWFP/ref=sr_1_2?crid=3NWHLJWTDMU9T&dchild=1&keywords=msi+motherboard+intel+10th+gen&qid=1618335816&sprefix=msi+motherb%2Caps%2C201&sr=8-2
@@jdwtv6530 Thanks! Think I'm going with the MSI AIO in an existing case. Going to wait a bit though. I ended up turning off Power Boost in Intel XTU to keep the temps down until I get the AIO. My understanding is that Power Boost on the newer chips is basically Intel overclocking out of the box (you may have said this in one of your videos). In Heaven Benchmark FPS drops about 20 FPS, but CPU temps drop 20c.
My work contracts with HP and our VR lab can really only get our hands on this PC. Do you think it would fair any better with the i7 instead of the i9 - I imagine 120mm AIO is too small for the i9. And do you think the 3090 will be OK with the side panel off (does it come off?) or will I ultimately need to undervolt it anyway?
I think it would be much better with the i7 over the i9. If you want to pull off the side panel the 3090 will be fine. It will get plenty of fresh air. Just be sure to keep up on the dusting with the side panel off.
Hi JDW...Have you narrowed down a few motherboards that you are considering when you do the case swap and motherboard replacement? Since the z690 may be coming out around this time next year for the desktop, are you going to go high-end, mid, or budget level? I'm prone for the ASUS line MB like: z590 Maximus XIII Hero, Strix z590-e gaming w/ wifi, or TUF Gaming z590 Plus wifi. Looking at MSI MB as well in the different price ranges.
I have not picked one just yet. I will absolutely be picking between asus or msi. Usually asus is my go to in my builds but I would like to give msi a shot. Money is the biggest hold back lol. I have already swapped the case just because I couldn't stand those temps any more.
@@jdwtv6530 Cool...thx for responding. Sounds like you are on the right track. Just two quick questions about the case swap: 1. Brand/type of case you used? 2. Did you use the same HP Omen motherboard in the swap until you decide on a ASUS or MSI MB?
@@jackgamble6120 So i went with the lian li lancool mesh ii. so far it is the factory motherboard, PSU, gpu, and cpu. The only thing I changed was the AIO as of now. I wanted to show people that they could fit all factory components into a new case. just in case some one wanted to swap cases but couldn't afford other new parts. The video showcasing the new case/build will be up Tuesday
@@jdwtv6530 Wow...great approach! Sounds like you will be proving that the right case DOES make ALL the difference with the same components inside. Hopefully, word gets out to HP what computer enthusiasts and everyday users expect. I always had good luck with the Coolmaster 212 Evo (dual fan) but couldn't do it because the HP Omen 30L case was tooooooo small!
I got a 3070 build omen and I was wondering if u found a way to change the color of the light on the gpu. Can’t seem to find any software to change it.
@@robertmanning4233 The HP omen comes with OEM graphic cards. I can not speak to the 3080, 3070, or 3060 OEM cards in these computers I can say the 3090 has not disappointed me. It hits a factory boost clock speed of 2000-2100 (with proper cooling) and it scores right with other 3090 cards on benchmark tests iv ran on it.
Thanks for the videos. Is there any way you could measure the dimensions of the 3090? I just got an Omen with 3090 that I was thinking about swapping video cards with my current case but wanted to make sure it fit. Thanks!
i picked the i9 up for £2400 and immediate swapped out the motherboard and case. Once yove done this its about £2800 and becomes an outstanding PC. The case is garbage but you can use a phantek case and really improve the PC.
Was able to make a clean looking hole in the tempered glass under water and I put a 360mm on it and I also change the fans then it’s started running really smooth and it’s very worth it. I use i9 10850k Rtx 3080 also I I have 4 gb ssd and hard disk of 8gb
yo, i think i got the exact same pre built as you do, and i just stumbled about the heat problem now, what exactly did you do, and what fans did you switch to?
I just bought the Omen 30L Ryzen 5600g rtx 3060 1TB SSD 16GB Memory (Air Cooled) should I be worried about this configuration overheating or any other problems with this Particular Omen30L setup?
Hi JDWTV! Don't leave us hanging...any updates on you new build/case component transfer? :) We like your videos...down to earth with an honest point of view.
Yes!!! I am going to try and upload the showcase video of the completed build tomorrow and then upload the building video after. The family decided after the covid lockdown we had to go on vacation, so iv been gone for a bit lol.
@@jackgamble6120 Just Uploaded the video of the completed build. it will be available at 4am tomorrow (youtube takes forever to process videos) and ill get to work on editing down the build process video right away. It really was a great vacation always to short tho lol.
Let me know how your case swap goes I’m doing the same. Swapping to a Corsair 5000d airflow. Putting a new liquid cooler in too. Hopefully with the new fans, case and cooler I kill a lot of heat. Just nervous to do the case swap tried to take my pc into a repair shop and they passed on the job because the adhesive on the motherboard cooler mount and it having short cables. I bought some extensions for the motherboard and gpu. I just hope I don’t run into another problem mid way through swap.
I hear you man. I am definitely a bit nervous as well. Iv built many computers but it is always a bit nerve wracking. A small mistake can destroy hundreds of dollars of equipment. That glue they put on the back is very annoying. If all goes well the video on the case swap will be up by next week. Good luck on yours and that is a nice case you got as well I almost picked that one up myself.
Just so you are aware, the PSU in the Omen 30l will not reach your GPU because the cables are custom length. You will need a new PSU. I fortunately had a really good 750w from my previous PC.
@@alanreynolds4262 sorry I’m never very knowledgeable on the subject but won’t extensions help with this? Don’t they just plug into the cable and then the gpu?
Is it just the i9 version running hot, because I can't find anything on the i7, im asking because im am looking on getting a 30L with i7 11700k and rtx 3090, but if its gonna cause that kind problems then im not even gonna go there.
I haven't heard any complaints about the i7 personally. I think the i7 would be a much better fit in this case than an i9. I haven't used an i7 version of this pc but I would guess they would not have this same issue.
@@jdwtv6530 Thanks for the reply. I think you are right, the i9 has always been running hot, but really HP should give the i9 versions a 240mm cooler, just like Asus does to the GA35.
@@jdwtv6530 I got the i7 build with a 3070. Cpu idols at 29-32C and when gaming it hits around 58-62 while using 2 monitors. Def annoyed it came with 1 16gb ddr4 rather use 2 8 sticks for dual channel but just buy another 16 stick. It’s def worth the buy
man i watched that whole video to the end and i feel the exact same way. I have had issues as far as it booting correctly plugged into my lg cx 65" and after doing some reading i think it doesnt really like the lg cx as a display and compatibility.. so often i start it with my tv off and it works pretty good now. i tried mining to make some money back and it instantly got to 110 degrees.. bought it from microcenter too for 3k. i bought the warrantee in case i do plan to mine and fry it.. but now im like i wish i woulda just not bought the warrantee and spent 300 bucks on case and mobo and aio... i feel you. also saying about leaving likes and subs bc of the pandemic and being broke after buying the PC plus new parts.. i feel exactly the same.. this was supposed to be an awesome set up and now my pc knowledge makes it hard to appreciate it without voiding and upgrading. i really hope it turns out well. im gonna see if you have the upgrade video up. i subscribed and liked. thanks for this review.
Thank you very much. ill have the full guide up by this Friday at the latest I believe. just trying not to make it to long for people. I'm super slow at video editing, its not my best skill lol
@@jdwtv6530 thanks man cant wait. Im hoping itll send me a notification and ill get it lol. Thanks for taking the time. I tried for like 10 mins to get it toine and it instantly got to 100 degrees and shut down. Id love to do some small steps like undervolting adding a fan and taking the door off to do some light mining just to recoup all this fuckin money lol
I got the i7 10700 and 3080, installed 2 fans one at the bottom by psu and one next to the hard drive bay. Temps for gpu don’t go over 72 (C) and cpu stays below 61 (C). Overall good so far, but I agree with the heating, it gets pretty hot near my legs. I’m wondering if I would be able to swap out the AIO fan, to a radiator one? I’m a noob in PCs but I’ve seen it on Reddit and UA-cam before. Great vid again man!
It is pretty easy to swap that AIO fan out. I took the stock AIO fan out and installed a nactua high static pressure 3000rpm fan in there instead it is quieter and cools better. I have a video on here where I go over all my fan placements and installations that you could watch to see exactly how to do it. There are only two screws holding the radiator in place. once you remove those you can slide the fan and radiator out together and easily get to the 4 fan screws for an easy removal. How are you liking that I7 CPU? Do you use it for mostly gaming or a workstation? I have heard those are excellent for price vs performance.
@@jdwtv6530 awesome I’ll definitely consider it, the top part of the pc gets hot because of it. I’ll definitely look at that video again. And check the fan out I’ve heard the noctua ones work very well. I use it for gaming, works very well so far for the 8 core and boost up to 5.1GHz works great for 4K gaming and is relatively cool even with this shit case. I’m looking forward to your case and mobo swap video. I’ll definitely be doing that sooner or later.
@JDWTV isnt the 3000 rpm one too loud? Thougt about the 2000 rpm. I cant manually Control the Fan Speed with the Omen right? I Got the i7 too and want it to be a bit cooler. CPU temp with Stock fan is about 87+ C.
Hey JD thanks for the video. As of now this seems to be the only rtx 3090 pc I can find in stock (for 3,299.00). My current pc has a 1080 ti. Do you think it would be a good idea to sell my 1080ti and buy this pc for the card? or Just hold out for a different prebuilt?
I was thinking of buying this too I am a complete noob and building pcs so I thought I was gonna go pre built and go big on specs right away you know? So should I get the i7 or i9? for the 3090 And how much will it affect performance?
If you are just gaming i would suggest the i7 with a 3070 and save a bunch of money. If you do a lot of rendering and working from your pc the I9 or a ryzen version would be even better paired with the 3090. Is the pc for just gaming?
@@Neko_Nugget The i9 definitely runs to hot. I haven't had any one complain about the i7 on here. The difference in performance will mostly be felt if you are doing heavy rendering our some multithreaded application. Gaming you may lose 5-8 fps in some games.
I bought omen 30l with i9 10900k/3080 i swapped case fractal define 7 and installed 360 aio AND new motherboard... since old mobo broke during case swap and nobody knows how that happen
Thank you very much for this review. I have $2,000 worth of Parts sitting in my garage. I can't get a decent graphics card. No a 30 series are available period so reluctantly I am going to buy a prebuilt. I would like to know what you do recommend. I am not interested in something that throttles, or has other issues such as drivers etcetera. I don't need a 3090, a 3080ti I will do. But I don't know who to trust and I don't know where to go to get a prebuilt. Any ideas out there I would appreciate. By the time I can build my own, the motherboard will be obsolete as well as the memory. So I don't know what I'll do with the parts except sell them. I returned my I9 10900k, in anticipation of the 11th gen. But that seems to be useless as well period as Steve Burke said a waste of sand. Any recommendations? On prebuilds would be good thanks
If you have a local microcenter and can find a powerspec. I say this because it is built with all third party parts no OEM. So you will get a decent motherboard a real graphics card and it will all be easily upgradable in the future. The reason I say microcenter over the internet is so you can easily drive the computer to them for any warranty issues. It is a pain to ship stuff yourself. That would be the ideal situation if I could do it over lol
After having a Omen 30l for 6 months. My 1660 died and they said to send it back , and maybe August/September for a new gpu. Lmao. 67celcius just cruising the web. Gaming went well over 90C. Mobo is honestly trash and everything on the rig is proprietary ( marketed as upgradeable ). Even the case didn't have good airflow. Built my own for less and never happier.
iv never mined before. but I am all for people making some money. what is to hot for Vram? I know it can handle pretty high temps but 102c seems pretty hot hot lol
@@jdwtv6530 According to the technical info i have read. 110 it gets throlled. 120 is when you damage it, also 102 is within operating temps. I am sure it reduces life of card but it takes 7 months to recoupt the cost in mining plus you get a 3090 to game on.
Greetings, I also have this same pc, I bought it because I wanted a 3090 graphic. and for the price. I really think the same, the motherboard is disgusting. I worked with hp for a while, only few things I liked. I do not want to say that hp everything is bad, but this case is terrible and very thin and the graphics are very hot, I have it on without the cover, I want to buy a card and a new case, but I still don't know which one to buy
Thanks for watching every one! If there is anything I missed in the review that you have experienced leave a comment and help others out. If there is anything else you want to know ask away ill do my best to get you a good answer.

Thank you for taking the time to put together these videos. I have been building my own PC computers since the 90s. I have never purchased a pre-built but after going to my usual haunts to buy parts - I realized that I could not do that since there were no GPUs available. So I purchased an HP 30L with an I7 CPU, RTX3090 GPU and 32 GB memory. Thanks to your videos and a few others - I was aware of what to expect good and bad when getting this computer. For example, I knew to avoid the I9 CPU due to lack of case air-flow, upgrade to 32 GB of memory up front since since upgrading memory down the road is not worth it for the motherboard supplied. I spec'd out this same configuration on several of the popular PC custom builder sites and the price for those was at least $1000 more than HP Omen 30L from the HP site. I have only had this computer for a week but I've been having lots of fun playing my games at max settings. I think my new HP Omen 30L is very usable in its current state and I don't plan on upgrading any time soon. I want to thank you for this great video series. It was very helpful to me.
So glad I could help out. I really appreciate those kind words thank you so much.
My 30l is coming today. This info is very helpful. There's not many UA-camrs that actually own the this Omen. It helps to have someone who knows what they are talking about from actual ownership, not just a sponsored review.
Thank you very much. I hope I can continue to bring good info for every one and never become one of those clickbait youtube guys lol. That stuff drives me nuts when I am looking for help on youtube and people are just using click bait titles wasting my time.
After waiting over a year for the RTX 3080ti to be released and then having it delayed indefinitely, I decided not to wait any longer and go for the pre-build option and landed with the 30l, RTX3090 with the i9. What I'm going to do is make the fan changes from your previous videos and maybe look into the thermal pads of the GPU to get my vram temps under control (at the moment not having any issues with that so I might wait). In a year orso from now I'll start look into doing a case-swap as you are doing now. Great video's btw, they help a lot!
Thank you very much, I am glad they helped you out.
Great video dude, some great points in there. Hard to believe that they used components that run SO HOT in a case that literally has zero air flow. The case made more sense with 1xxx and 2xxx series cards and slightly older CPU's but still ran a bit warm but safe. Looking forward to watching your new DIY PC build as I'll also be doing mine fairly soon, but I still have some Omen content planned. Your component choices look strong dude! Also, who were you a tech for? I'm a mechanic for Toyota.
I was never a real mechanic. I worked in junk yards as a parts puller all my life. Its just easier to say mechanic, people never know what i mean by a parts puller lol.
Yea man these pc parts are awesome. My thermals are so low its max temp is now what the idle temps where out of the box. Its made me want to put the same AIO on my older pc
This is the second pre-built computer I bought since I was 12. I just got tired of building so I caved for the gfx card. I got the 3070 edition but I'm going to push it until it crashes lol
I wish I'd seen your video before I bought this computer back in December 2021. Your prediction was on the money the video card blew its cork a week ago, fortunately I have the extended warranty.
I bought an Omen 30l directly from HP. Had it for about 3 months now. Mine has a i9 10900k, RTX 2080TI, 64GB RAM, 2 TB Western Digital Black SSD, and a 2TB HDD. My CPU actually runs really cool around 58-62 Celsius. The only issue I’ve had is my GPU will get up to 85 Celsius when I try a minor overclock. I raised the core clock by 200mhz and the memory clock by 100mhz and my temps dropped to a maximum of 77 Celsius. Over all I love the computer but damn if that motherboard they use isn’t a pos that I think about replacing every day
lol yea those motherboards yeesh. Glad to hear your cpu is actually running at a decent temp. One of the first people iv actually heard is not having an extreme over heating issue. That's really good.
thanks for your videos ,
I performed memory upgrade thanks to you successfully , well explained and no BS video , keep your videos coming , you do it well . I am also a retired mechanic , so I can relate to you lol .
I own two Omen 30L (one for me one for my son ) we both use Intel i7 with RTX 3080 , they both ran way too hot , tried adding fans to no avail . switched cases with Lian Li 215 on mine , it ran 11 degrees cooler right off the bat ... I highly recommend this case with a cooler master 280mm top mounted AIO , amazing . swapped Lian Li exhaust fan (3 pin ) with a Cooler Master 120 mm fan plugged on my motherboard and its perfect . did same swap on my son's computer , great success on both .
Those lian li cases are amazing aren't they. I really hope every single other case manufacturer learns something from them. Thank you very much for the kind words man I'm glad you got that memory upgraded!!
Thanks for the review straight to the point love it. I got the one with the 10850k and the 3080 and I was also thinking about doing the 4 upgrades aio, motherboard, power and a new case but I also got a 3 year warranty for it so I'll have to wait for now do all 4 upgrades.
I am so glad i found this. I was very close to buying it but had real concerns about the heat issues. Their support chat guys assured me since it was liquid cooled there was no problems ... I am glad I found some honest advice about this prebuilt.
I have never even considered buying a prebuilt, much less one from hp. I would normally never do it.
Yea man it was really hard to admit I spent so much on something that wasn't "the best" you know. Most people do not want to admit that to themselves lol.
@@jdwtv6530 It looks like it could be a good machine. It has a very convincing appearance. Add in the desperation of the gpu shortage and I can see it happening.
Saw two of these omens pop up on marketplace with the 3090. Wonder if they already burnt em up or they'd be worth buying. Thanks for the review
Been following this whole circus from the beginning and I really appreciate you sharing your issues and workarounds. Please keep us posted on the final components that you do end up using as I'll most likely follow suit and get a better machine at the end of the day. I'm interested in getting a motherboard that will allow access to the Intel QuickSync features of the CPU (which requires motherboard video out in case you didn't know) since I have the same CPU as you to give additional strength on video processing encoding/decoding options in addition to the GPU encode/decode.
Thank you for checking out the videos. To be honest I do not know anything about the quick sync. Iv never made videos of any kind until now and only started so my boy could post fortnite videos. Not sure how I got myself wrapped up into posting computer videos haha.
I will definitely look into that. I am looking at msi motherboards first, simply because the new aio I put on is msi and the rgb will all sync easer using the same mystic like software.
@@jdwtv6530 Yeah I was looking at the MSI MPG Z490 GAMING EDGE motherboard, hopefully someone that has it can chime in on if that would be a good option. I've just been browsing builds here to see what other people have been using and are happy with pcpartpicker.com/builds/by_part/nGFKHx. Anyhow, keep on doing what you're doing man I really do appreciate it!
I'm getting Omen 30L soon. I will indeed undervolt CPU/GPU (thanks for the vids btw) and most likely add more fans or replace the existing fans with Noctua fans. If that doesn't do the trick, I'll see if I can replace 120mm AIO with 240mm AIO, if there's room, with someone's help.
I've never bought HP brand before as I usually stick with Avadirect but man, those GPUs, you can't buy them anywhere and HP only seems to have them at decent or bargain (considering current market) price with not too long of a build time.
I bought this system 3 weeks ago at Microcenter for $2999. I completely agree the system is complete trash as is. The temps were ungodly high and it sounded like a leaf blower when gaming. Bought a MSI z490 and got the 240 version of the MSI cooler. Transferred everything over to a Corsair 4000d Airflow and it runs beautifully. Still worth it in the end considering the market right now.
So glad some one else is being honest about their purchase. It really helps others looking to buy this hot mess lol. And yea I agree with prices being insane it can still be worth it to buy just to swap parts. Thank you for your comment and honest take on the Omen.
I replaced radiator fan and exhaust with Noctura fans. Temps dipped by 7-9 degrees and its quiet. I have the i9 with 3080ti and have had no issues with loud fan noises before either.
I literally did this, bought my computer on Thursday and Friday I was hitting it in a lian li dynamic case, new motherboard. Used my old ram and all that from my other pc. Took parts from my old pc and built my wife one.. my
Only other add I’m doing is a psu
Very nice!! Man those lian li cases are amazing. They need to be the new standard. Those guys did an amazing job making a case.
Hey, i have a version of the pc with the same processor but with a RTX 3080 GPU and i am also experiencing the overheat problem, but only on the cpu, the gpu is running just fine(max temps are 60-65 on the gpu). How ever the cpu is running way too hot(up to 95/97). I was wondering if you have tried undervolting the cpu to lower the temps? And if you think it could help, because i dont really have the money or the trust in my personal skills to move all of the components into a brand new case right now.
Is the HDD 2TB supposed to be the boot drive?
The case isn’t bad at cooling when you got the glass panel off. I played New world around 60-70 for hours. I did end up adding a new mobo, Noctua cpu cooler and a new case w six fans cus it looked cooler.
I would advice add more ram
Thanks for the vid man, quick noob question if i put the gpu into another rig with better airflow will it still operate fine? Would i need to install any drivers or anything?
I been kicking around how to upgrade my 30l as well. Wondering if I should just upgrade my MB. Sounds like me and u going the same path
Hey JD...great HP Omen videos. I'm going thru the same thought processes as you with this computer. I got mine (identical to yours) about two weeks ago from Microcenter for $2850. I followed your advise with the fan setup and appreciate the results. I have an extra 32GB Ram from my old computer and considering your approach about adding this ram. You are right about the fan noise...it scared me the first time I heard it rev up...sounded like a plane taking off :). I agree with you that it is a powerful computer and it is a shame that the case is too small for it.
My big disappointment is the sound setup. I have an old school Creative Inspire P7800 7.1 speakers system and the lack of sound jacks in the back doesn't allow me to attach my speakers for true 7.1 enjoyment. Also, no extra slots on the MB to add a soundcard for my speaker setup. I did order an external Creative Sound Blaster X3 to resolve these issues (Best Buy for $119).
In the end, I'll do one of two things: 1) I'll enjoy it for a few months and sell the system or just the GPU on ebay to get my money back (because of the high graphics card prices) and then build another one...but buying a graphics card would still be an issue with high prices. 2) Take out the GPU, CPU, and the 1TB HD and then buy a Z570 MB and use my 32GB ram and put it in my old case (Cooler Master Haf 932) that already has a 1000W modular power supply and a boat load of fans...then sell the Omen Case, MB, Power Supply, Fans, and 32GB HP Ram as a combo on ebay.
So JD...please keep us posted with the case transfer and the type of motherboard that you are getting!
Btw...meant to say Z590 MB in my post. :)
Thanks for the comment man and I absolutely will keep you posted. I really hope one day things will go back to normal for us and we can afford (or even find a GPU) to build our own computers again. These are crazy times.
@@jdwtv6530 Yup...agreed.
Hey, just did a case swap for this piece of junk...I carried over CPU, GPU, HDD, and SSD to a new case and motherboard including a new 360 AIO cooler. No more overheating! However, I am still tinkering around with HP's RTX3090 because the memory is way too hot. I changed the thermal pads and paste, but it is still a bit overheating. I am undervolted GPU to keep memory temp at least around 86C, but at the cost of the fan noise which is over the roof around 2800RPM. Are there any suggestions on GPU settings in afterburner to lower GPU's memory temp decently enough with less fan noise and minimum performance cost? Is there even a sweet spot with this graphics card?
Yea i have the 10850k and it thermal throttles when gaming. The biggest problem is the mobo since u cant tweek the fan curve. So it just kills every component from the heat. will prob be getting a new mobo and case soon enough. Dont want to kill this expensive pc. Good honest video bro.
Hello, I notice that HP does not have support for the Omen 30l GT13-0092 on their website. Why I don't know. Did this rig come with a driver CD? I am concerned because if I want to put a fresh copy of windows on it I won't be able to install HP drivers. My GT13-0092 is on order now. Thank You
Thanks for the Video.
Thank you for watching and the comment. Any little bit helps my tiny little channel.
i just got the pc so ima do the fans u did and keep it like that for a year maybe later change it i subbed dont worry! i went thru almost all your viudeos lol thanks for the help
go to
control panel > hardware and sound > power options > edit plan settings
now press "change advanced power settings"
press the plus sign on "processor power management"
press the plus sign on "minimum processor state" and set it to 5%
press the plus sign on "maximum processor state" and set it 99%
literally doesn't even take 3 minutes and you should be good to go. no more temp problems or fucking apollo 13 launching to the moon
Good info! I bought the same model except mines has a 3080 and it overheats if I play warzone but I mostly use the computer to stream and make videos for UA-cam
Thank you very much! Yea man it streams and renders videos extremely well. If it just had a bit better airflow...
The thing as a whole is borderline unusable without some tinkering. The case ventilation is just completely inadequate for the hardware that's in there. Essentially you NEED to do a rebuild with better case, or run the thing side panel open. You can do wonders to GPU memory thermals if you dare to open it up, change/add some quality 1mm thermal pads for memory chips and a bit of extra thermal paste around the GPU. My HP 3080 went from constant 110C throttle-level memory temps with minimum mem clocks to steady ~92C with +1050Mhz with ethereum miner running. Now HP memory temps are much better than on my asus tuf I got after the HP! The HP GPU is really very good with some memory cooling tinkering. Adding the extra thermal paste will increase your GPU core temps as the heat from memory will heat up your main cooler sink thus heating the core a bit but not so much it will be a problem. But no way it's gonna stay cool in original case with side panel closed.
@@ilmariylitalo8427 You are spot on my friend. hit the nail on the head. Also thank you for the thermal pad sizing. iv been trying to find the correct size before I tore mine down so this is very helpful!!
@@ilmariylitalo8427 Hey thanks for the info. My 3090 temps are on the high side even with undervolting. I have never taken a GPU apart before, how difficult was it to repaste and add the thermal pads?
@@alanreynolds4262 If you are familiar with a screwdriver and any hands-on technical experience, I'd say very easy. Plenty of videos on how to tear the thing apart (also HP's 3090 teardown video can be found), clean up and adding fresh pads and paste. Just make sure you have the right size screwdrivers around, all the screws on my HP card are size Phillips 1 = PH1. Before you start, run something like mining or benchmark or game to heat up your card before pulling it out of the PC, it will come apart easier when warm. Thermal paste and pads unglue easier. And make sure you remember which screw goes where, they are slightly different sizes. Good luck with your efforts!
FYI - my temps have been fine since I just put turbo fans on, average of 70-75 in very intensive CPU games at max settings. Yeah ie, tarkov. Needs to be on turbo though otherwise it runs out. Also tried an under volt which has me around 70 now and if I put max processor state to 99% it never gets above 70 and performance doesn’t seem to be effected a a lot. Does this thing have HDMI 2.1 though? I have a New tv on the way so I’m hoping so
So I looked for some type of spec sheet to verify it is HDMI 2.1 but I can not find any straight answer/spec sheet on it unfortunately.... So I took my pc downstairs and hooked it up to my tv to check myself and it works on my tv no issues. and yes my tv is hdmi 2.1 So you shouldn't have any issues. Good to hear your temps are under control. this has been a very annoying thing to deal with lol.
I have this PC and its louder than a vacuum, I just spent $700 ordering a case, 9 RGB fans and an 360mm aio... might even have to upgrade the motherboard which I really hope i don't. Also worth mentioning that when i purchased this pc, it was pictured with 4x 8gb rgb ram and when i received it i got 2x 16gb ram with no RGB. so now my my $3200 prebuilt is going to end up being a $4,000 + build
I feel your pain man. I did the same thing. It is the most frustrating time to be a computer enthusiast.
Thanks for the review. Would you recommend an external usb sound card? I have the logitech 906Z speakers
thanks a lot man you're helping me a lot in this struggle against the heat issue. i9 and 3080 here clear for take off. Undervolt saved the gpu but the i9 keeps on goin over 80°C.
- 0.030mV if I'm not wrong, but still not enough. The fan above the case (liquid cooler) is soo bad I can barely feel it. Is there a way to make it run faster?
And if you do recommend an external sound card, which one?? My HP Omen I9-3080 arrives tomorrow and I have already ordered the new fans for it:((
Can you post links to the case, AIO and MB you plan on using?
I have a Corsair 4000D case with an i5-10400/GTX 1660 Super in it that I'm considering swapping CPU/GPU with, but I might end up ditching the HP MB and case if I decide to upgrade the RAM.
Absolutely the first link will be to the case. just to be aware it is only 110 at microcenter but 140 off amazon, The second link will be the AIO it is actually cheaper off amazon than microcenter but microcenter will price match for you if you want to get it all at one place. I chose this specific AIO because the pump is inside the radiator so you will have less problems with pump whine or any orientation issues. last link will be the motherboard. Now I am still not fully decided on the motherboard but I do like msi motherboards because of the heavy duty heat sinks installed on them and the easy access to overclocking features. I have not price checked this specific motherboard I am linking at micro center yet so I'm not sure if there is a price difference. If I find a better price or decide to go with a different motherboard i will let you know asap.

@@jdwtv6530 Thanks! Think I'm going with the MSI AIO in an existing case. Going to wait a bit though. I ended up turning off Power Boost in Intel XTU to keep the temps down until I get the AIO. My understanding is that Power Boost on the newer chips is basically Intel overclocking out of the box (you may have said this in one of your videos). In Heaven Benchmark FPS drops about 20 FPS, but CPU temps drop 20c.
My work contracts with HP and our VR lab can really only get our hands on this PC. Do you think it would fair any better with the i7 instead of the i9 - I imagine 120mm AIO is too small for the i9. And do you think the 3090 will be OK with the side panel off (does it come off?) or will I ultimately need to undervolt it anyway?
I think it would be much better with the i7 over the i9. If you want to pull off the side panel the 3090 will be fine. It will get plenty of fresh air. Just be sure to keep up on the dusting with the side panel off.
Hi JDW...Have you narrowed down a few motherboards that you are considering when you do the case swap and motherboard replacement? Since the z690 may be coming out around this time next year for the desktop, are you going to go high-end, mid, or budget level? I'm prone for the ASUS line MB like: z590 Maximus XIII Hero, Strix z590-e gaming w/ wifi, or TUF Gaming z590 Plus wifi. Looking at MSI MB as well in the different price ranges.
I have not picked one just yet. I will absolutely be picking between asus or msi. Usually asus is my go to in my builds but I would like to give msi a shot. Money is the biggest hold back lol. I have already swapped the case just because I couldn't stand those temps any more.
@@jdwtv6530 Cool...thx for responding. Sounds like you are on the right track. Just two quick questions about the case swap: 1. Brand/type of case you used? 2. Did you use the same HP Omen motherboard in the swap until you decide on a ASUS or MSI MB?
@@jackgamble6120 So i went with the lian li lancool mesh ii. so far it is the factory motherboard, PSU, gpu, and cpu. The only thing I changed was the AIO as of now. I wanted to show people that they could fit all factory components into a new case. just in case some one wanted to swap cases but couldn't afford other new parts. The video showcasing the new case/build will be up Tuesday
@@jdwtv6530 Wow...great approach! Sounds like you will be proving that the right case DOES make ALL the difference with the same components inside. Hopefully, word gets out to HP what computer enthusiasts and everyday users expect. I always had good luck with the Coolmaster 212 Evo (dual fan) but couldn't do it because the HP Omen 30L case was tooooooo small!
I got a 3070 build omen and I was wondering if u found a way to change the color of the light on the gpu. Can’t seem to find any software to change it.
As far as I know you can not change the light. I could be very wrong but I don't know and haven't heard of a way.
what brand gpu did u get
@@robertmanning4233 The HP omen comes with OEM graphic cards. I can not speak to the 3080, 3070, or 3060 OEM cards in these computers I can say the 3090 has not disappointed me. It hits a factory boost clock speed of 2000-2100 (with proper cooling) and it scores right with other 3090 cards on benchmark tests iv ran on it.
@@jdwtv6530 appreciate the response man
Thanks for the videos. Is there any way you could measure the dimensions of the 3090? I just got an Omen with 3090 that I was thinking about swapping video cards with my current case but wanted to make sure it fit. Thanks!
i picked the i9 up for £2400 and immediate swapped out the motherboard and case. Once yove done this its about £2800 and becomes an outstanding PC. The case is garbage but you can use a phantek case and really improve the PC.
Which exact case did you use? And which aio? Thanks!
Was able to make a clean looking hole in the tempered glass under water and I put a 360mm on it and I also change the fans then it’s started running really smooth and it’s very worth it.
I use i9 10850k Rtx 3080 also I I have 4 gb ssd and hard disk of 8gb
Would love to see a picture or video of this!
yo, i think i got the exact same pre built as you do, and i just stumbled about the heat problem now, what exactly did you do, and what fans did you switch to?
Do you think I’ll have the same heat issues if I get the i7 with the liquid cooler and the 3060ti?
I just bought the Omen 30L Ryzen 5600g rtx 3060 1TB SSD 16GB Memory (Air Cooled) should I be worried about this configuration overheating or any other problems with this Particular Omen30L setup?
Great video
Thank you so so much
You are very welcome thanks for watching. any little bit helps my tiny channel lol
Hi JDWTV! Don't leave us hanging...any updates on you new build/case component transfer? :) We like your videos...down to earth with an honest point of view.
Yes!!! I am going to try and upload the showcase video of the completed build tomorrow and then upload the building video after. The family decided after the covid lockdown we had to go on vacation, so iv been gone for a bit lol.
@@jdwtv6530 Super cool...look forward to your build!!! Yes....a well deserved vacation with family is priority over everything else. :)
@@jackgamble6120 Just Uploaded the video of the completed build. it will be available at 4am tomorrow (youtube takes forever to process videos) and ill get to work on editing down the build process video right away.
It really was a great vacation always to short tho lol.
Let me know how your case swap goes I’m doing the same. Swapping to a Corsair 5000d airflow. Putting a new liquid cooler in too. Hopefully with the new fans, case and cooler I kill a lot of heat. Just nervous to do the case swap tried to take my pc into a repair shop and they passed on the job because the adhesive on the motherboard cooler mount and it having short cables. I bought some extensions for the motherboard and gpu. I just hope I don’t run into another problem mid way through swap.
I hear you man. I am definitely a bit nervous as well. Iv built many computers but it is always a bit nerve wracking. A small mistake can destroy hundreds of dollars of equipment. That glue they put on the back is very annoying. If all goes well the video on the case swap will be up by next week. Good luck on yours and that is a nice case you got as well I almost picked that one up myself.
Just so you are aware, the PSU in the Omen 30l will not reach your GPU because the cables are custom length. You will need a new PSU. I fortunately had a really good 750w from my previous PC.
@@alanreynolds4262 sorry I’m never very knowledgeable on the subject but won’t extensions help with this? Don’t they just plug into the cable and then the gpu?
@@alanreynolds4262 That is good to know I was worried about that myself. I'm going to be putting a new PSU in for sure.
@@xXTruexBladeXx You would need an extension for the PCIE power cable, but honestly I wouldn't trust it with the 3090.
Is it just the i9 version running hot, because I can't find anything on the i7, im asking because im am looking on getting a 30L with i7 11700k and rtx 3090, but if its gonna cause that kind problems then im not even gonna go there.
I haven't heard any complaints about the i7 personally. I think the i7 would be a much better fit in this case than an i9. I haven't used an i7 version of this pc but I would guess they would not have this same issue.
@@jdwtv6530 Thanks for the reply. I think you are right, the i9 has always been running hot, but really HP should give the i9 versions a 240mm cooler, just like Asus does to the GA35.
@@jdwtv6530 I got the i7 build with a 3070. Cpu idols at 29-32C and when gaming it hits around 58-62 while using 2 monitors. Def annoyed it came with 1 16gb ddr4 rather use 2 8 sticks for dual channel but just buy another 16 stick. It’s def worth the buy
Great video!Very helpful! Just wondering if you can post the video/pictures that you swapped everything on, that'd be very sweet!
will do!
Any recommendations for after market parts?
man i watched that whole video to the end and i feel the exact same way. I have had issues as far as it booting correctly plugged into my lg cx 65" and after doing some reading i think it doesnt really like the lg cx as a display and compatibility.. so often i start it with my tv off and it works pretty good now. i tried mining to make some money back and it instantly got to 110 degrees.. bought it from microcenter too for 3k. i bought the warrantee in case i do plan to mine and fry it.. but now im like i wish i woulda just not bought the warrantee and spent 300 bucks on case and mobo and aio... i feel you. also saying about leaving likes and subs bc of the pandemic and being broke after buying the PC plus new parts.. i feel exactly the same.. this was supposed to be an awesome set up and now my pc knowledge makes it hard to appreciate it without voiding and upgrading. i really hope it turns out well. im gonna see if you have the upgrade video up. i subscribed and liked. thanks for this review.
Thank you very much. ill have the full guide up by this Friday at the latest I believe. just trying not to make it to long for people. I'm super slow at video editing, its not my best skill lol
@@jdwtv6530 thanks man cant wait. Im hoping itll send me a notification and ill get it lol. Thanks for taking the time. I tried for like 10 mins to get it toine and it instantly got to 100 degrees and shut down. Id love to do some small steps like undervolting adding a fan and taking the door off to do some light mining just to recoup all this fuckin money lol
I got the i7 10700 and 3080, installed 2 fans one at the bottom by psu and one next to the hard drive bay. Temps for gpu don’t go over 72 (C) and cpu stays below 61 (C). Overall good so far, but I agree with the heating, it gets pretty hot near my legs. I’m wondering if I would be able to swap out the AIO fan, to a radiator one? I’m a noob in PCs but I’ve seen it on Reddit and UA-cam before. Great vid again man!
It is pretty easy to swap that AIO fan out. I took the stock AIO fan out and installed a nactua high static pressure 3000rpm fan in there instead it is quieter and cools better. I have a video on here where I go over all my fan placements and installations that you could watch to see exactly how to do it. There are only two screws holding the radiator in place. once you remove those you can slide the fan and radiator out together and easily get to the 4 fan screws for an easy removal.
How are you liking that I7 CPU? Do you use it for mostly gaming or a workstation? I have heard those are excellent for price vs performance.
@@jdwtv6530 awesome I’ll definitely consider it, the top part of the pc gets hot because of it. I’ll definitely look at that video again. And check the fan out I’ve heard the noctua ones work very well. I use it for gaming, works very well so far for the 8 core and boost up to 5.1GHz works great for 4K gaming and is relatively cool even with this shit case. I’m looking forward to your case and mobo swap video. I’ll definitely be doing that sooner or later.
@@JM-ex9rw Yea man nactua the best there is and very reasonable price. Hopefully have that video up by this time next week.
@JDWTV isnt the 3000 rpm one too loud? Thougt about the 2000 rpm. I cant manually Control the Fan Speed with the Omen right? I Got the i7 too and want it to be a bit cooler. CPU temp with Stock fan is about 87+ C.
@@T3chnoBeatz I do not think it is to loud. I use headphones a lot and even still I like my CPU to be in a much, much lower temps.
Hey JD thanks for the video. As of now this seems to be the only rtx 3090 pc I can find in stock (for 3,299.00). My current pc has a 1080 ti. Do you think it would be a good idea to sell my 1080ti and buy this pc for the card? or Just hold out for a different prebuilt?
What size fan do I buy to replace on the radiator
My radiator fan was a 120m.
Does microcenter have a rtx 3090 build for $2-3k?
Yea that's where I picked mine up at
I got a system with Ryzen 5800X and RTX 3080 for 1999 from BestBuy. Looks good so far and thermal parameters seems ok.
How’s the PC running?
I just got the same one from Best Buy.
Any update on how it's running?
@@KaizerR3v absolutely wonderful.
Is hp omen 30L i7 10700k rtx 3080 worth it for 1300 to 1400 dollars?
I was thinking of buying this too
I am a complete noob and building pcs so I thought I was gonna go pre built and go big on specs right away you know?
So should I get the i7 or i9? for the 3090
And how much will it affect performance?
If you are just gaming i would suggest the i7 with a 3070 and save a bunch of money. If you do a lot of rendering and working from your pc the I9 or a ryzen version would be even better paired with the 3090.
Is the pc for just gaming?
@@jdwtv6530 gaming for now but gonna start t rendering and working on it very soon
@@jdwtv6530 I'm just worried about the cooling.
@@Neko_Nugget The i9 definitely runs to hot. I haven't had any one complain about the i7 on here. The difference in performance will mostly be felt if you are doing heavy rendering our some multithreaded application. Gaming you may lose 5-8 fps in some games.
I bought omen 30l with i9 10900k/3080 i swapped case fractal define 7 and installed 360 aio AND new motherboard... since old mobo broke during case swap and nobody knows how that happen
Thank you very much for this review. I have $2,000 worth of Parts sitting in my garage. I can't get a decent graphics card. No a 30 series are available period so reluctantly I am going to buy a prebuilt. I would like to know what you do recommend. I am not interested in something that throttles, or has other issues such as drivers etcetera. I don't need a 3090, a 3080ti I will do. But I don't know who to trust and I don't know where to go to get a prebuilt. Any ideas out there I would appreciate. By the time I can build my own, the motherboard will be obsolete as well as the memory. So I don't know what I'll do with the parts except sell them. I returned my I9 10900k, in anticipation of the 11th gen. But that seems to be useless as well period as Steve Burke said a waste of sand. Any recommendations? On prebuilds would be good thanks
If you have a local microcenter and can find a powerspec. I say this because it is built with all third party parts no OEM. So you will get a decent motherboard a real graphics card and it will all be easily upgradable in the future. The reason I say microcenter over the internet is so you can easily drive the computer to them for any warranty issues. It is a pain to ship stuff yourself. That would be the ideal situation if I could do it over lol
I found one for 2k, do I buy it if I know I want to change the mobo and case
Great review I almost bought this system, gna get a better one that dont need tinkering.
Should’ve spent some money on a better camera.
haha for sure. Nice cameras are not cheap sheesh.
After having a Omen 30l for 6 months. My 1660 died and they said to send it back , and maybe August/September for a new gpu. Lmao. 67celcius just cruising the web. Gaming went well over 90C. Mobo is honestly trash and everything on the rig is proprietary ( marketed as upgradeable ). Even the case didn't have good airflow. Built my own for less and never happier.
Yea the heat these things put out is insane. I wish I could find a GPU in my area. I haven't seen one available in 7-8 months now.
@@jdwtv6530 Got lucky on Newegg with a 3060 restock for $600 at 4am a few weeks back. Pays to have insomnia some nights. lol
@@zarcon666 HAHA nice!
I am using mine for mining and my temps are good. VRAM at 102
iv never mined before. but I am all for people making some money. what is to hot for Vram? I know it can handle pretty high temps but 102c seems pretty hot hot lol
@@jdwtv6530 According to the technical info i have read. 110 it gets throlled. 120 is when you damage it, also 102 is within operating temps. I am sure it reduces life of card but it takes 7 months to recoupt the cost in mining plus you get a 3090 to game on.
Greetings, I also have this same pc, I bought it because I wanted a 3090 graphic. and for the price. I really think the same, the motherboard is disgusting. I worked with hp for a while, only few things I liked. I do not want to say that hp everything is bad, but this case is terrible and very thin and the graphics are very hot, I have it on without the cover, I want to buy a card and a new case, but I still don't know which one to buy
The card its slim pickings lol but as for the case, I really like lian li lancool mesh ii. It is a great case and easy install.
Doesn't matter what specs it is what all that cryo chamber it aint anything
This sounded like a funeral.
It is never worth it to buy an oem machine. It's convenient, but not the way to go.
I got a 3060 with ryxen 5600G for 1250 dollars. Wohoooo
Me too thought it was a scam but I bought u got it at Best Buy?
That is a dang steal very nice find guys!!
Just buy it and replace case done ez
i bought this coomputer and saw your glum face aand im like shiiiiit im fudged
lol im sorry. You can make it work with a little bit of tinkering tho. Not a total flop
foxconn oem confirmed
get a girlfriend or a dog or something. your too wrapped up in this stuff..
yo do you still have a discord?
