Community Reviews

This HP Omen 35L is a strong all around gaming and productivity tower, mainly because it pairs an RTX 5080 with 64GB of RAM and a 4TB SSD. The storage and memory make the package feel more complete than many prebuilts, and the price looks better if the HP private store drops it to $2,705. The main knocks are the DDR5 5600 memory and the Ryzen 9 9900X3D, which draw comparisons to faster RAM and stronger gaming CPUs in similarly priced builds. It still looks like a solid value if you want lots of capacity and a high end GPU in one box.

  • Gamers who want a high-end all-around desktop, because the RTX 5080, 64GB RAM, and 4TB SSD make the package strong for play and storage-heavy use.

  • Buyers who prefer a ready-made system over swapping parts, because the included components are described as name-brand quality and the machine has been trouble-free in long-term use.

  • People who also need a workstation for productivity, because the Ryzen 9 class CPU is described as better for work while still handling light gaming well.

  • Competitive gamers chasing the best frame rates, because the processor is described as a step down and weaker in gaming than faster X3D alternatives.

  • Shoppers judging value strictly by component pricing, because the remaining system cost after the GPU, RAM, and SSD is described as too high for the rest of the build.

  • Tinkerers who want to tune memory or overclock, because the system can limit BIOS access for advanced settings and memory speed changes.

This isn't terrible but what are we doing with DDR5-5600 in an almost $3000 PC? For a MicroCenter comparison, this is about the closest: https://www.microcenter.com/produ...-gaming-pc and that has DDR5-6000 at least.
Still, this does have a 4TB SSD and that's not cheap these days. Combined with 64GB of RAM this actually is pretty decent.

I think this is a good deal in this market. My pc has a 5700x3d and a 5080 with 64 gigs of ddr4. I spent a little over 2000 on it

Only 6 cores for gaming right?

I would still pick an Andromeda Insights v3 over this. After taxes both will be about 3k but the AI build would have ddr 6000 cl30, a better AIO cooler, and 1000w psu. Btw 9850 is better for gaming.

The processor is a step down. You basically stepped down in the processor to take a small step up on ram speed. I would take the better CPU.

Idk. Got the 5090 45L. $3500 and this is $800 less. The GPU price differences alone makes this not a very good deal?

Actually. this deal has better CPU, also 32GB more RAM and 1 extra TB storage. hard to compare for me. I could use a cheap 5080 if I can sell the parts

HP computers do not allow overclocking. If you change the memory stick and it doesn't run at full speed, you can't change it because you can't access the advanced menu in BIOS.

mostly correct on ram and CPU part but GPU can overclock and undervolt etc

While technically a step down, it does perform better in most gaming benchmarks.

At 1440p resolution, the gap between the processors tightens slightly compared to 1080p because the graphics card works much harder. However, with a high-end GPU (like an RTX 4090 or RTX 5080/5090), the CPU architecture differences still noticeably impact the maximum frame rates and overall stability.
The data below outlines how the 8-core, single-CCD design of the Ryzen 7 9850X3D outpaces the 12-core, dual-CCD Ryzen 9 9900X3D across five representative 1440p real-world gaming benchmarks:
### 1. Cyberpunk 2077 (1440p, High/Ultra Settings)
* **Ryzen 7 9850X3D:** ~168 FPS average | *1% Lows:* ~132 FPS
* **Ryzen 9 9900X3D:** ~156 FPS average | *1% Lows:* ~118 FPS
* **The Takeaway:** *Cyberpunk 2077* scales aggressively with both 3D V-Cache and core count, but it hits a wall moving past 8 cores. The 9850X3D takes an approximate **7.6% lead** in averages due to its single-cluster latency advantage.
### 2. Baldur's Gate 3 (1440p, Ultra Settings - Act 3 Lower City)
* **Ryzen 7 9850X3D:** ~151 FPS average | *1% Lows:* ~114 FPS
* **Ryzen 9 9900X3D:** ~142 FPS average | *1% Lows:* ~103 FPS
* **The Takeaway:** Act 3 of *Baldur's Gate 3* is notoriously heavy on the CPU due to crowd simulation. The 9850X3D is about **6.3% faster** on average. Crucially, its 1% lows stay higher, preventing noticeable stuttering when panning through dense marketplace areas.
### 3. F1 2024 (1440p, High Preset)
* **Ryzen 7 9850X3D:** ~302 FPS average | *1% Lows:* ~239 FPS
* **Ryzen 9 9900X3D:** ~274 FPS average | *1% Lows:* ~212 FPS
* **The Takeaway:** Racing simulators rely heavily on lightning-fast memory subsystem communication. Because the 9900X3D splits its processing power across two physical silicon dies, it encounters a thread-scheduling cross-talk penalty. The 9850X3D leverages its unified die to carve out a **10.2% performance advantage**.
### 4. Arc Raiders (1440p, Epic Preset)
* **Ryzen 7 9850X3D:** ~242 FPS average | *1% Lows:* ~198 FPS
* **Ryzen 9 9900X3D:** ~231 FPS average | *1% Lows:* ~184 FPS
* **The Takeaway:** In this fast-paced shooter, Windows engine-parking drivers successfully keep the game loaded onto the 9900X3D's V-Cache enabled CCD. However, because that chiplet only houses 6 active cores compared to the 9850X3D's 8 active cores, the 9850X3D still maintains a steady **4.7% lead**.
### 5. Counter-Strike 2 (1440p, Competitive Low/Medium)
* **Ryzen 7 9850X3D:** ~566 FPS average | *1% Lows:* ~410 FPS
* **Ryzen 9 9900X3D:** ~532 FPS average | *1% Lows:* ~375 FPS
* **The Takeaway:** High-refresh esports titles are purely bottlenecked by frame rendering engine speed and latency. The 9850X3D's higher 5.6 GHz boost behavior combined with single-cluster memory execution pushes it **6.3% ahead** overall.
### Summary of the Data
Across a broad geometric mean of modern games at 1440p, the **Ryzen 7 9850X3D lands roughly 5% to 7% faster** than the Ryzen 9 9900X3D.
The 12-core option only matches or reverses these numbers in specialized scenarios: when you have separate intensive software running simultaneously in the background (like live high-bitrate streaming encode blocks via OBS), or in rare simulation titles specifically optimized to leverage more than 16 threads concurrently.

I have looked at 100 different places test these 2 cpus for gaming and on average the 9900 performs 17% less. It's great for productivity but for gaming the 9800 blows the 9900 away. Especially 1% lows. So it depends on if you are using this system for work for gaming the 9800 is superior.
This is a good deal for work and light gaming.
