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

I bought an HP Omen Gaming PC for review, and it turned out to be another hot OEM gaming PC.

My friend works for HP and with Omen, she'll will be very happy to receive the "Dawid doesn't think this prebuilt will sacrifice your first child to the dark lord" award.

I paid $800 for an HP Omen 17 from a pawn shop in 2019. I just upgraded my ram to 32gb and it's still going strong! I feel like I robbed them.

Room full of Pre-build is my next sleep paralysis.

I picked up a 30L back in March (10700F with 2070 Super) (drought in full swing so terrible time to buy but had to be done). It's been an alright system. Not in love with it but good stability/reliability, worked out of the box, and minimal sketchiness. Your review is pretty solid and tracks with my experience with it.

The stock cooler on the CPU does get overwhelmed without too much effort. Anyone else buying an Omen highly recommend going for the liquid cooling option.

"Honey, the OEM prebuilt sacrificed the baby to the dark lord!"

"Not again!"

It's great seeing your channel take off so well! I remember when you built the first system from your youtube money, and it was.... lets just call it an "adorable" build. Now you're moving into a studio to film! Big congrats in making it this far!

Fun fact: HP Omen systems are actually made by MSI for HP.

My gf bought one of these about a year ago or so, right before all the gpu scalping. It has been a great pc so far with no issues at all (her cat actually managed to knock it over and the damn thing is still running very well - nothing broken or out of place). Hers is the 30L variant and came with a gtx 1660 and ryzen 5 3600. It also has wayyy better IO on the back along with better cooling up front. With these HP omens, I'm seeing that they're very hit or miss on some things, but considering how bad prebuilts usually are and how expensive building one is at the moment, I think these can be great PCs

Great video Dawid! I bought one of these Omens last May of 2020 and uploaded a ton of videos on how to replace the cooler and other components. For me, replacing the cooler with a Noctua U9S was the best modification I did. Also using MSI Afterburner for an aggressive GPU fan curve worked really well.

Congrats on the new studio! I’ve been watching this channel ever since it popped up on my suggested page about 5 or 6 months ago and It’s one of my favorite new channels to binge watch. Keep up the good work Dawid!

Every upload, I'm excited to watch! Let's go :D

Thank you for the review. Buying this spec for my kid due to budget. Something he can grow with and is worth upgrading as he's gotten into that recently.

More dense than classic Russian literature 😂

I bought one a few years back. It did what it needed to. At the time I was too afraid to try and build one myself. I've since pretty much changed everything this side of the card, cpu and motherboard. And those are all next. Crazy how much things can change over a few years confidence wise.

I’m enjoying the prebuilt reviews. Keep them coming, they are great for recommendations to lesser tech savvy friends and people in my day to day. Thanks.

Congratulations on growing big enough as a channel to be able to move to a studio ! Can't wait for what's next :)

Dawid has the best intro and background Music i swear

THE way you say E-Waste is very satisfying.

Cheers David! Really amazing how far you've come. More power to you and you the wife!💪

I'd actually love to see a video where you go in and upgrade/modify that HP Omen's insides to the point that it doesn't have uncomfortably hot thermals. Sometimes prebuilts are actually very close to being good gaming solutions, but there are a couple of things holding it back.
