fantastic tutorial showed me everything I needed to know and stuff I didn't even know

Thank you so much! Helped me clean far better by taking off the front cover 😊

Great video, I always come back to check it whenever I'm tweaking with my computer!

what a great video thanks a lot from germany !!

Thanks for this great video showcasing the dissasembly process of all the parts in this system, with this i was able to upgrade my Motherboard to the Rog Strix B660-G (just had to dremel the IO cutout in the back) alongside an Intel i7-12700K + RTX 3060Ti + 32GB DDR5 (5600) RAM. The only thing i had to order is a longer power switch cable + USB-C front IO cable since the one in the system was to short for this specific new motherboard of mine

thanks，we need more videos like this. Great job HP, plz bring back the old omen logo

Can the case fit a 360ml triple fan cooler

got a few things to say: The back panel, where the usb connectors, hdmi, etc. of the chasis is bonded/soldered with the entire chasis (12:56), so when I bought all the new parts to upgrade my PC I got a big surprise... I had to use a drill and a saw to break and cut that part of the chasis so my new motherboard fit in. Surprisingly, it didn't look too bad to be honest. Another thing that is quite serious is the fact that many connectors on the Higos2 board, from HP, are perfectly made for the chassis and its other parts. Let me explain. The Higos / Higos2 board has on the top right side the connector to turn off and turn on the PC, so the power button to turn off and turn on the pc is at the top (26:46), and JUST this cable is too short (26:42), it measures less than 10cm, and my new motherboard has that connector at the bottom, way down, so from now on I have to use a screwdriver to bridge and turn on the PC, touching the two pins of the board to turn on the PC. Another thing is the LED lights or the front "rgb" lights, which on my PC model are only red, have a connector that I have no idea what it is called (42:06), but my new board doesn't have them anywhere, so my PC red lights will simply never light up again and I don't know if there is enough space to connect some rgb over there, but this for me is not so important really. By the way, ALL the front panel connections (22:35) were rendered unusable: the two USB, the two USB-C, the headphone jack, the microphone and the card reader. The cables of the Higos2 board, again, are so just and short that I literally could not connect them to the new board and the yellow connector of the Higos2 board (24:12 and 55:09) that is called something like "HD AUDIO" (or I don't remember how), which are the ones that precisely make the front headphone and microphone ports work as well, my board does not have it, so yes; all the front connectors of my PC are now useless to me. However, I can use the ones on the new board; the back ones. Only there I don't have USB-C inputs, but headphones, microphone and USB like keyboard, mouse and controllers, usb or whatever, I have to connect them in the back. This really isn't much of a problem for me, but I won't deny that it was VERY comfortable and easy to use all of this on the front ports. Also, I don't know if you noticed, but the back fan, the one that draws air to the outside, is 90mm (9cm), but its architecture is 120mm (12cm) (11:09). I do not know if I explain; this fan looks like 120mm, but it is actually 90mm, taking up unnecessary space that actually HAS to be used with a 120mm fan. (49:32). Personally I think it's because the air intake should be more than the air output, to generate a good air flow. By the way, these fans are really quiet, but when forced or set to go at high speeds by some software, they are too loud. Seriously. So yes, you can adapt everything to this chassis, but I really recommend buying another one. Honestly I really like the design of this chassis, because it is not the typical square one that everyone has and that EVERY company makes. I decided to keep it and now with the new board and new parts it works perfectly. Maybe the cooling could be a problem, because it only has one fan that takes air to the interior, and one to draw air, (39:48) and honestly it seems to me very little to ventilate all its parts, but meh, ok. Again, I recommend buying another chassis, but this one can be adapted to new parts and works ok. I still have more things to say about this PC after having used it since April 2019 until almost a month ago and having already changed the board, processor, heatsink, graphic card, power supply and a fan. If you have any questions on how to modify its parts or the PC in general you can ask me, although I think that this model is no longer available. Anyway, I'll keep an eye out if anyone needs help. DISCLAIMER: I don't know if the power supply and its connectors are made SPECIFICALLY for that motherboard. I would think so, but I´m not sure. So I would think that if you use that power supply with another board, or visceversa, it may cause a serious problem. However, if you are going to change the power supply or the board, I would recommend changing both, to avoid any specific connection made by HP causing problems. Edit: +4 years later I realized that this chasis can support 2 fans to draw air (45:24). But in the upper part you can only use a 9cm (90mm) fan. I tried to put a 120mm fan, but it doesn't fit.

@HP Support If I wanted to upgrade to the Ryzen 7 3700X would it work?

Thanks. Most helpful!

I just need a drive that fits in that metal thing soo?

Thank you for this nice explanation I have a problem which is that I have the same computer sometimes freezes and I browse or games I checked and everything, but I did not find something and still a problem I bought a continuous device with a warranty of 3 years, but I am a resident in Germany asked where to buy they told me I must speak with your company reached with them via HP However, my problem has not been solved

How can i remove or unplug the red lights please

To remove the air cooled, thermal module, can I use a flathead screwdriver instead of t15 screwdriver?

Thank you for the video. I have an OMEN 880-040 and I am wondering if I change my motherboard, will any microATX motherboard fit into the case with the connectors and all? Can I swap a microATX motherboard designed for AMD CPUs for one designed for Intel CPUs? (I understand that would void the warranty but mine’s expired anyway)

Wait, so I could install a second graphics card into my 880-103nb? Is there a recommended one to choose? What about RAM?

are the fans 120mm?

Is there any way to remove the CPU Cooler backplate, to put another cooler, like BeQuiet Pure Rock 2 ?

Which size CPU cooler (motherboard to ’’wall’’ ) should i use at max size (air cooled)

Good day. A few months ago I bought a used motherboard from an HP Omen PC very cheaply, including RAM. CPU i5 8400 and CPU cooler. I previously had an i5 2nd generation and a motherboard DDR3 Ram, so an upgrade for my case. I have everything connected, but two ports seem to need special connectors. For USB 2.0 there is a 19-pin connector on the top right of the motherboard below USB Power, but I only have a 9-pin USB connector available from the case, so I probably found an adapter for that on the internet. (SinLoon USB 2.0, 9-pin case, reversible to motherboard, USB 3.0, 19-pin header socket, adapter, reversible USB adapter for data transfer (9-pin plug), what do you think, is this the right adapter? For the I only found an adapter 13 pin to 9 pin for the Audi connection, but the Audi connection on the mainboard is an 11 pin connection and I haven't found an adapter for that yet. Do you know where I can look? Thank you for your attention. I have one A low budget PC assembled with used or gifted parts. Works very well and I am very satisfied, even though I don't have audio on the front panel and no USB 2.0, 3.0 USB on the front header works perfectly. I wish you a nice day and Have fun with your PC, best regards.

Great video, but if I’m upgrading parts of my omen 880 how do I know which parts work with each other and are compatible with one another?

Hello! I own a HP OMEN 880-112nw. I'd like to change the rear system fan. Which specifications should it have?

I replaced the PSU to a 750 and it worked fine, so I upgraded to the RTX 2060 super, but whenever I replace it, my PC beeps, stops beeping and doesn't show up on my monitor. What do I do to be able to use my new graphics card?

Hello I have a 880-112na the one with a 1070, it has a i7-8700 and a stock cpu cooler, what cooler could I replace it with since it’s full of dust and doesn’t lower cpu temps at all. I’ve searched around and apparently the socket is not common so nobody knows what cpu cooler fits

Can I change the motherboard on the omen-880-010, ok I understand the hole warranty voiding and stuff, but the warranty is long gone. If possible which motherboard could I use and what would be the best fitting motherboard.

Why does this case not allow you to upgrade to a motherboard with more ports? That's some high tier bs, especially because I can't remove the motherboard port cutouts without removing the gpu screw slots. Now I'm just sitting on the floor after taking out my motherboard when I was literally ready tp put a brand new motherboard with a brand new cpu heatsink in. Thank you so much for making life difficult. 🙏

I badly need to replace my thermal module (water cooled) on this exact module. How do i find out what other thermal modules would fit? Would greatly appreciate the help! I am passing 90 °C when playing intense games and it sounds like a chopper

I just took apart the pc and put back together and it won’t turn in please help

TO ALL THINKING OF UPGRADING THIS PC: YOU CANNOT UPGRADE THE HIGOS MOTHERBOARD: this case was specifically designed for Higos, and has custom connectors from the chassis which only fit the Higos. On top of this, the back panel of the chassis does not come out and has been fused into the metal, so unless you want to get out a metal saw and incinerate the back, before finding out the first point was also another problem, please sell this PC asap and buy a new chassis to build in, because it is impossible to upgrade the 880's motherboard.

What motherboard can I replace the higos motherboard with so that I could upgrade the graphics card to an Navida RTX. Please help, I understand the warranty buts it’s long been expired

So, I have a 880-001nc, after replacing the rear fan with a 4pin PWM compatible fan, I get an error message 90b during start up. All pathways are clear of dust, fan is connected to motherboard. I've udpated to latest version of BIOS, installed all updates through HP support assistant, reset the CMOS, restored defaults, and I'm still getting the error during start up. I've even tried connecting the original fan back, still getting the error. Any pointers as to how I can get help? Cheers!

Is it possible to change the motherboard and processor with your pc model?

Why in the world do you Install that thing in the back of the motherboard so you can only Install One of your own coolers. I dont think anyone wants them cause they go up to 80 degrees celsius

God damn I hate HP and my Omen pc. I just want to turn off the stupid bright red light on the front of it but the control software is so garbage and buggy and won't even download that I can't do it through the pc (which I absolutely should be able to do, if you're going to put bright unnecessary stupid fucking lights on your computer, make it easy for us to turn them off) and I'm here because I've resorted to manually getting to the led and disconnecting it or destroying it if I need to.

this is a pain to listen to

I’m going to be honest, I’ve had my PC since 2018 and I’ve only now found out that you can take the entire left panel off 😂
