Finally a video where they do a full tear down, been trying to get a look at that 3080

i've been waiting on this video for a long time . thank u

... Ivan ... Thank You for taking the time to explain so much about the issues with these pre-built HP 30-L computers ...very clear and detailed ...

great video, thanks Ivan. Would be nice to see if you actually plan to go with upgrading front cooler situation.

Great review sir

I know this was posted in 2020, but this is still very relevant today with the scalpers selling this very same HP 3080 LHR for 1,500 on ebay. Solid video sir!

the hero we need

the passion is what keep me watching. that and my omen running at 107' watching a KZfaq video.. crashes and I hear the jet engine every time i play a casual game of Fortnite.. I really love love love the OMEN 30L. it looks and feels amazing. just the lack of air flow.. i have to leave the side of my case open for it to breathe. I might have to by an air unit and keep my room an ice box to keep it cooler.. idk.

Great video. I was thinking of upgrading to this for MS Flight Simulator which is very CPU intensive. Thanks to your review, it has slightly put me off given the thermal issues for CPU intensive tasks.

Hello! I don’t know if you’ll see this or not but I’m considering buying a 30L with rtx 3090 / i9-10900 / 32 GB RAM but im worried I’ll have temperature/noise issues. Do you think I should spring for an i7 and a lower gpu due to the thermal issues you described?

I have an RTX 3080 and it's really nice! Fast! Downside is I need to use it for work :(

I might just buy this for the cpu, gpu and psu. Put it all in my current case and have 2 sick pc’s.

I just bought this same PC, plus a LG ultra gear 27 144hz monitor, two sets of RGB mouse and keyboards, condenser mic plus an Xbox elite series 2 controller all for $800. I feel like I hit the jackpot. Yes, it's used, but everything works and that's what matters.

My plane was to take all of it out and change cases from the get go... so looks like that’s what I’m doing lol

Thank you for this. I just preordered one. Are you sure the backplate of the 3080 is metal? I've seen people say it's plastic (which makes no sense to me). Thanks!

hi, may I have a question? For the motherboard, do you know is it t-topology or daisy chain? Thanks.

I wouldn't be surprised if the engineers saw you and are nodding their heads in frustration because the cooler additional fan design was brought up by them and was nixed on them.

Very helpful vid I just bought this for Black Friday with a 2060 in it and it’s running great but slightly hot, is that cpu cooler available for purchase or only in the prebuilds?

one here with i7 10700 goes for 2400 euro tax included but only 16gb ram

Pretty happy with mine. I'd rather have a prebuilt pc but with geforce 3080's going for €1500, getting a this one for €2200 seemd like a bargain.

I wish we could change the RGB color on the GPUs very much. Otherwise I am pleased with my Omen 30L with a 3060ti

I want to use a longer graphics card, is it able to remove the hard disk cave (only the second one is sufficent), so that longer graphics card can be put in .

@HardwareSense thank you for your review I am planing to order HP Omen with i7 10700 with RTX 3080 however worrying about noise level and thermal throttling. Do you think it will less loud AIO in i7 model?

one small question on bestbuy there are several options for the 30L all have different parts but never specify the motherboard will all 30L's have the same motherboard or not? make that 2 questions what is the best graphics card thats $500 and below that i can use on the 30L

Hi sir, i've got some q's. If I were to buy this one and remove the cpu/gpu/mem/sdd and place it in a new z590 mobo for another build (new case/cpucooler/psu), can i still reuse this old mobo and psu for another build? like ill place a 10600k, an old rtx 2060 and the other items so that my nephew can use it. Im just thinking of compatibility like i don't know what that motherboard is that's why i'm asking if i can transplant a new and slightly lower spec'd components. Thanks!

19:09 is that supposed to be the boot drive too?

I just bought one of these on Amazon refurbished. I can sell the parts for way more than it cost.

Thanks for posting this video. I'm a bit late to the party but I was looking for videos on the HP Omen 30L with the RTX3080 for some insight. My father bought the exact model you're featuring in this video and asked me to help him out with it. His unit didn't stay cool. His CPU temps were in the 90 to 97c range under load and 70 to 75c idle. Yes, the fans ramped up so loud it sounded like the rig was going to explode. My dad was really concerned. I recommended sending the computer back for a full refund but he wanted to keep the rig because it has a RTX3080 in it but here's the rub. What's the point of paying for a pre-built system with a Core i9, 32GBs of fast RAM and a RTX 3080 if the temps are so high that you can't run it at its full potential if you run it at all? Running at those temps is a great way to nuke your rig. What's the point of paying for a pre-built system when you have to invest even more money to just get it to function properly? It's a kick in the nuts that the Omen 30L RTX3080 has the potential to be a fantastic gaming rig, but because HP cut so many corners that sacrifice cooling, it's a POS rig that's not worth the purchase unless the buyer rips it apart to correct what HP screwed up.

When are you going to review gateway and the legion 5?

I just bought this omen 30L with 3070 16 gigs of RGB ram 512 ssd ryzen 3600 price was $1299 before tax and shipping 3070s are going for 800$ which is insane.

I haven't been able to find any exact as to how many M.2 Slots there are? And also what kinds of SSD would you be able to use on the standard motherboard?

Great video thanks - Couple questions: 1. Why did you decide to get a SATA3 instead of a 2nd M2 SSD? 2. Is the 2nd M2 slot accessible without removing the 3080?

Hi! I hope you don't mind me asking a couple of questions! I am on the verge of getting an omen 30l (i9 10900k/rtx 3090/32gb ram) and I can get it at amazing price with my works discount (the 3080 is out of stock, so the overkill 3090 is my only option anyway). I know the RAM/bios is locked, if I swap the MOBO and case, will I still be able to use it all properly? I'm worried about getting something that I can't eventually upgrade. And honestly, does HP's own brand 3090 hold up against the other 3090's in terms of performance. I'm sorry if I've asked anything you have already answered, I'm at work and can't keep the phone out long enough to watch the whole video. I will watch the video when I get home tonight anyway. Thanks!

Yes you are right. My omen 30l is i9-10850K. One 120mm aio fan can't control cpu temperature. XTU undervolting can't control good enough temperature too. It makes me sad.

So I saw the GT13-0090 with the same specs but the 3090 instead. Recommend at $3200 USD or you think that's too $$$ or reasonable? I feel like it might be $2-300 over.

Any idea how loud the 3080 is? Have you tried using a decible meter? I heard it can be loud under load. Thanks!

hey how do you remove the second ssd slot cover?

Is there another m.2 slot or to replace the one as mine is 512g and I really want a 1tb. Thanks

could i just replace the front fan instead of replacing the aio?

So if I want to upgrade to the corsair vengeance 64gb ram sticks it won’t allow me to?

can you transfer the parts out of the 30l into a new case? i was told i couldn't and i'd have to get all new parts. originally just trying to get a new case motherboard and ram

Do you know anything about the 30L with the AMD Ryzen 9 having the same temperature issues?

I have the same model 30L incoming 10850k+rtx3080 1. Do you think there is room to drill holes/mount a 240mm aio? 2. Is there room to add an additional 120mm fan to the front for air intake? 3. Can the exhaust fan be exchanged for a larger than 92mm fan? Thanks for posting your video! Super thorough

Which type of Rtx 3080 is actually in the case tho? I’ve been looking everywhere can’t tel if it’s an ASUS TUF or something else with just a custom case around it

I am happy with the RTX 2080 super GPU. Sort of as It runs ridiculously hot. My son will have to be learn to live with it and be content for the time being. I understand why you bought another one, especially since you want the new 3080. Makes sense. You are the HP omen king, Ivan. No doubt. You should have a share of their stock. I picked up two more HP hyper x 8gb sticks of RAM and so now we have 32gb. We also installed MSI afterburner and it has brought the GPU temps down a lot. My son only uses MSI when he uses RTX and/or if a certain game runs between 81c to 87c. With MSI on, the games in question, run in the low to mid 60s. Great point regarding the AIO temp with the I9-10900k. I was going to upgrade but glad I kept the I7. Great video Ivan. Glad to see another omen video. Looking forward to more content.

Hmm I get no results when using that part # on their parts store L75927-001?

Looks like a good deal to me with all the scalped prices

I’m thinking of purchasing this PC for my brother who wants to upgrade from Console to PC. He plays fortnite and Cold War at the moment. Would you recommend this PC? Best Buy has them in stock in my city.

What’s the size of the case

Would it be possible to switch the AIO with an CPU air cooler, and then use the AIO space to add another normal 120mm exhaust fan to make for at better cooling solution. Furthermore can you add an intake fan in the bottom of the case (as the case have a open bottom). With the i7-10700K do you think cooling will be a problem?

anyone know how to access that front fan to clean it better?

Intel 11th gen is about to be released. Do you still think this PC is a good choice in march 2021? Thank you in advance :)

is the power supply the same amount in both cases?

I don't suppose one could convince you to take off the cooler and show the bare PCB? For the purposes of finding out if they used a reference board or modified it enough to not be compatible with custom waterblocks? :D

How does the 3080 card perform vs other brands like asus, msi, gigabyte?

I got the Ryzen 5 5600G, 3060, and 1TB ssd for 1200. Honestly was a great price for the contents

Hi, what do you think about the AMD ryzen 7 5800XT , RTX 3070 , 34 Ram , liquit cooled (2021 model) Only for gaming !!! Thanks

The config with i7-10700k, RTX 3080, 32GB RAM and 1TB M.2 SSD is going for $2049 at local store. Is it worth it?

So I have a omen 30l with a 2060 and I want to upgrade to a 3070, 3080, or 3090. Will the graphics card fit

I have the hp omen 30L with 16 GB of ram. It's an AMD Ryzen. Can I change the ram without having to upgrade anything else to 32 GBS of ram?

How well will it play gta online? 4k?

hi, is it possible to add a second gpu for mining ?

Is there any space to put a second MVME ssd storage on the mother board?

Just got mine today. Last one at microcenter.

Can you mix the RGB memory and non-RGB memory sticks between the omens? (aka can you take the RGB from your old omen and put them in the empty slots of the new omen) Asking because eBay has both ram types show up from people selling them from their old omens

Do you know if the omen 3080 is 4.0 compatible?

Ivan, can i replace the 120mm AIO with a 240mm in this case or will i need to get a new case?

I got mine HP omen with 2x8 3200 hyperx furry could i Just add different Kingston ram with 3200 to it and be no issue. Or do i need to have the exact same ram i already got?

How is the PSU holding up? I heard it was below Nvidia suggested wattage for the new cards.

Hy, I need some advice I can get a HP Omen 30l Desktop GT13-1804ng for 2.000€ in Austria 5800X and rtx 3080 (AMP), 750W plat psu buut I keep reading that this thing has poor thermals and require modifications, (bad gpu quality, motherboard not sufficient, only 2 120mm fans) I dont know the exact parts on CPU cooler (it just says liqui), GPU (which brand ?), psu, and motherboard. I already have a 3070, 5600X custom build ordered, for the same price. This seems like no brainer regarding the price, but im not too sure about the quality. Thanks M

will a 3080 from MSI fit in the case? im looking to upgrade my gpu but im worried it wont fit

With my i7-10700K the CPU is running at max 85 degrees. Would love to see how your idea about a change is gonna end up!

I bought one, Intel Core i9 10900K with 32 ram and gtx 3080 an 2TB M2 for 2279CHF, about 2.157€

Can you upgrade the ssd2 the one under ur card

I have one question how quiet this new Omen is? with that graphic card?

the one i got must be the newest version cause it has rgb ram and it doesnt over heat that ive notice no problems so far i got the ryzen 7 5800x rtx 3080 1tb ssd 16gb ram from best buy

Hi, does the motherboard have a brand or is it just no brand.

So I got the 30L I got mine for 1500 and it came with a 3060 and a Ryzen 5 but my 3060 has one fan and doesn’t have any branding on it besides the “GeForce rtx” lit logo on the side kinda sus because I’ve never seen such a basic 3060 any ideas on why it’s so different? Been on my mind a lot lately

Hi! I have Omen 30L but with 12 Cors AMD Ryzen 9 3900 (no X Version ), 32 GB RAM and RTX 2070 Super 8GB GPU. After Running Cinabench, max temp goes up to 80 degrees but after running CPU Stress Test with CPU Z, my CPU went up to 92 degrees. I really love this PC but i don't like this. PC never field but it got a little bit hot. Shoud i give the PC back to HP because i have 2 years of warranty and he is just 4 months on my desk. Tnx

What are the speed of the 512 GB NVMe SSD?

If I'm just gaming with it, should I upgrade anything after I get it gets here? I got it with i7-10700k 512gb NVMe SSD 16 gb 3200 ram xmp RTX 3080 It's been probably 10 years since I last put a rig together so I'm out of date. Would like to do as minimal as possible. Is 16gb ram good enough for gaming these days or should I swap it for a 32gb kit? If I toss in a 2tb NVMe on that second m.2, would that cause any heat problem?

Does it have bluetooth? I have to be quiet and use bluetooth headphones where I live.

is the i7 10700kf with the 3080 good for gaming while staying cool? I was gonna go with the i9 10850k but I'm scared of the temperature.

The 90mm back fan , and 1x120 mm front bottom is just not eunough , before I had 80+ temp after case swap I have 55_56 max

I wish I read this before I bought my HP Omen 30L. I have mixed feelings and might even take the step of trying to return it. In many ways the Omen is fantastic. Extremely easy to set up, the performance is incredible. It looks great, and during most tasks it is completely silent...most tasks. This PC is marketed as a gaming PC, so I assumed it would be capable of keeping the CPU at acceptable temperatures. While I am not that worried about the CPU running a bit hot, the noice levels is at times completely unacceptable. For most games the noise is just irritating, but for a game like Cyberpunk 2077 it becomes unbearable. My initial plan is to change the 92mm fan in the back with a better one. Then try to change the 120mm fan for the cpu cooler (liquid). Any thoughts on this strategy?

So you will be able add multiple storage like extra SSD?

Thanks for the video!!! U think it d be possible to use it for mining purposes ? Not full time, but lets say 12 hour / day

what do you think about change to noctua on the CPU?

Hi. I wondering if it’s worth to buy it?

Rtx 3080 which is it? MSI, Asus, Gigabyte? I see only HP Omen logo on all items hmmm 🤔

Does the one reviewed here have liquid cooling ?

There's one in the store near me, it has R9-5900x 12 cores, rtx3080 and 64gb RAM, it has liquid cooling. I've read that Ryzen runs a bit cooler than Intel but is it enough?

Does this pc with the 5800x have any heat issues or does it run at a good temp?

A friend of mine owns a PC repair shop, he said never buy HP. They cheap out all the time. Take the CPU , GPU and power supply and maybe the SSD to another build is your best options there. Imagine having a 10900k & 3080 and making a bad pc that over heats.

Thank you for covering this computer. I was planning on buying it but decided not to because of the overheating factor. But the information on the fans really helped me gain more knowledge on fans and possibly get a customized one with that kind of fan set up. Do you have any thoughts on the company called CyberPowerPC? They do customized PCs and I am considering on getting one, but there aren’t that many in depth reviews such as this one for those computers so I am still deciding. All I really want to do is play Cyberpunk 2077 on it with raytracing and at ultra settings lol. I love that game but I am currently playing on an older Asus with bad frame rates, lag, and just lower end graphics. 🥴

Hello, I bought this PC to install the 3080 in another PC. Thank you for your explanation how to remove the graphics card.But I have a problem, I have installed another graphics card GTX 670 in the omen and nothing, it demounts but no display, I installed another graphics card without power and the same one. I haven't installed the 3080 on my other pc yet, I'm waiting for a more powerfull power supply. Why doesn't the omen work with another graphic card ? And will the 3080 work on my other computer ? I know how to set up PCs but I'm confused. Thanks.

Hello there I just discovered you. I liked your presentation very much. I want to ask a question. I ordered HP Omen 30L GT13-0028ns case. The price of 2200 euro. But I am not sure whether to cancel or not. I will use it for both mining and gaming. What is the core and memory temperature of the Rtx 3080 graphics card inside the case. Does the card perform well? Have you ever done a test? I would be very happy if you reply in a short time. Thank you!

I reduced my processor to 90% utilization to keep the stupid heat at bay for the older omen. Just because I cannot afford the graphic card due to miner.

hp gonna save money on cooling fans no matter what

I have the hp omen ryzen 7 with rtx 2060 and i ordered another one intel i9 10850k with rtx 3070. Its supposed to be shipping by tomorrow but i have a feeling its going to be delayed
