OMEN 30L Gaming Desktop PC, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Graphics Card, 10th Generation Intel Core i9-10850K Processor, 32 GB RAM, 1 TB SSD, Windows 10 Home (GT13-0090, 2020)EPEAT

I've had this for 4 days. There were no reviews when I bought it so I was taking a chance... on an HP pre-built no less. I'm glad I did! Here are some thoughts that will hopefully be helpful...Coming from someone who's built gaming and business PC's, I'm overall impressed with the Omen 30L and its performance. It's also extremely attractive and very well built.The Omen 30L doesn't have all the fine-tuning options as with a custom-built PC, but it performs as it should, and ultimately that's what matters. Performance is on par with benchmarks you'll find online for a 10900K and RTX 3080 combo.Besides having no options in the bios to really fine-tune this rig, my only criticism would be the volume of the fans under load when gaming and the slightly high temps. This is simply because the case is very compact and the three fans (120mm front, 92mm back and 120mm radiator at the top) can only do so much. That said, RTX 3080 temps in the mid-70's and 10900K temps around 80 in Warzone at 4k with all the eye candy turned on is acceptable. I'm planning on replacing the radiator fan with a Noctua NF-A12x25 to hopefully lower CPU temps and volume under load. At idle, it's pretty quiet.The RTX 3080 is custom for this PC. It has three fans with a curve that shuts them all off when at roughly 30 degrees or below. The middle fan runs by itself at 30% when just above that temp. You can definitely hear all three fans when under load, but nothing out of the ordinary or annoying.Any overclocking is performed from the Omen Command Center, not within the bios. The memory is already running at the only option you can choose above stock (@ 3200). So really with the temps being where they are, there's nothing more to accomplish with overclocking. This is a gaming PC for someone that wants the latest high-end tech in a no-frills package running at stock speeds. Just turn it on, load your games and enjoy!Gamers and content creators wanting to plug-and-play will be very pleased with this computer. Tweakers who wish to spend hours squeezing every ounce out if it for maximum performance might be disappointed. But to me, the difference between 123 fps on this attractive pre-built machine at stock and 128 fps on a custom-built PC that's perfectly dialed in doesn't justify spending all the time and money for those extra 5 frames.I've now had four full days on this computer... no hiccups... no stutters... just great performance that feels "right". I'm honestly surprised. HP can thank the 3080 shortage for my purchase. Well done, HP!... and did I mention it looks great?!

This beast came in today, Wednesday (10/27/21) after ordering last Thursday. The computer was packed very cautiously with an abundance of big bubble wrap and air bags inside the case. Before I get into the technicals I will say that some of the bloatware was annoying on initial startup but I guess that's the price you pay when you get a prebuilt system, and I can't really complain considering it comes with Windows installed (allowing a choice between Windows 10 or 11 on first boot). Also I personally like the Omen software that allows me to monitor temps, customize lighting, and overclock if I choose to do so in the future.The big thing I observed while reading reviews was temperature. My idle temps on day one (without doing anything but downloading things such as google chrome, discord, steam) were anywhere from 40-60C. With that being said, running games like Apex Legends and Overwatch at maximum graphical settings and a constant framerate of 240 did not turn the temperatures through the roof as I was expecting after reading some of the reviews on here. While streaming my gameplay to friends on discord and running these AAA titles maxed out, I was seeing temps of anywhere from 70-85C, which I was quite happy with considering I did not even tweak any of the settings yet. As others have stated, the chip runs hot; if the idle temps discourage you and you are willing to make a tradeoff, you can set the fans to run faster however you will be trading cooler temps for a louder machine.Another thing I read in this review section was the noise complaint. I will say that initially booting these games made the fans go turbo mode and the computer was noticeably louder than when idle but who is surprised by this? After a couple minutes of gaming the fans start to chill out and the loudness dwindles (at least in my case). Not to mention I have a ceiling fan going, A/C, and over-ear headphones so it's really not an issue for me. People were making this thing out to be a jet engine in the reviews when that is simply not the case. If the noise ever ends up bothering me I will just upgrade the case fans.With that being said, this machine is perfect for my needs out of the box. I am coming from an i7-9700k and RTX 2070 Super, and even with those specs I can notice a decently significant improvement. I am the type of guy who likes to play games at the highest fps possible without sacrificing graphics, in addition with multitasking such as streaming to friends in discord or having a video or twitch stream on the other monitor. In this regard I have yet to find anything that will stump this computer.

The motherboard or PSU, or CPU (I am not sure which) died after less than 2 months of light use. HP would not honor the warranty because I opened the case to look at it myself to test each part in a separate PC. They wanted $700 to repair what I am assuming is a less than $100 motherboard. Completely insane. HP is clearly trying to rob people who don't know much about computers.I was unable to test the PSU because of the way this PC is built, the PSU is not removable. Every other part works fine in the 2 other PCs I was able to test it in. I'm not sure how else they expect you to diagnose the problem, because HP wants to know specific details on why the product is not working before they will allow you to send it in for repairs. Also, for anyone wanting this specifically because it comes with a 3080, mine came with an HP RTX 3080 which is ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE. It practically thermal throttles from watching YouTube. It should be a crime to sell that thing as an RTX 3080. I cannot emphasize enough just how bad of a card this is. You will get better performance (And SIGNIFICANTLY longer life) out of a 3070.UPDATE:So not only does HP not honor their warranty, but they did not properly secure the graphics card when shipping the PC back, so it banged up everything on the way back to me. The plastic latch that holds the GPU in place on the PCIe slot has broken off, and there are scratch marks all over the motherboard and GPU now. Thanks HP. You wasted my time, stole my money, AND further damaged my PC.Amazon has since partially refunded me for this (because it was a few weeks past the refund window), so I am thankful for that at least. This responsibility should not fall on amazon, so I am sorry to them for this. All I can say is: DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT.
