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.
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.
The build can be a strong option for productivity and light gaming workloads, based on reported gaming performance comparisons between the 9900 and 9800.
It is generally viewed as a decent-to-good deal for the current market because it includes a 4TB SSD and 64GB of RAM, which are expensive parts. The main criticism is the DDR5-5600 memory and the CPU choice, since some comparable builds offer faster RAM or a better gaming CPU for similar money.
For gaming, the 9900X3D is described as a step down from the 9800X3D and may trail it by about 17% on average, with weaker 1% lows. It is still considered strong for productivity and light gaming, and some benchmarks show it performing better than expected in many games.
Yes, DDR5-5600 is the most criticized part of the configuration because faster DDR5-6000 or DDR5-6400 kits are available for relatively little more. Others prioritize stability and say the RAM speed matters less than the GPU and overall system reliability.
The GPU can be overclocked and undervolted, but the system is limited on CPU and memory tuning. If the RAM does not run at full speed, the BIOS advanced menu reportedly cannot be accessed to fix it.
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.
So we agree, the linked MC pc using the 9850x3d with the faster memory, is a better PC.
I just got a 35L and have 2 45l's these omens get a bad wrap, I love them and Ive been in IT hardware for 30 years, never had a problem with them at all.

If HP came out with a bargain Omen with a 5090 that had an AMD CPU, I'd buy it. But all the deals on those have been with Intel CPUs and I just don't want. My only gripe with this build, which is a good price, is putting 64GB of DDR5-5600 in it. DDR5-6400 is ~$100 more retail. Make it $100 with better RAM sand it's so much better. I don't want to pay $850 for DDR5-5600 RAM. It just annoys me.
This isn't terrible but what are we doing with DDR5-5600 in an almost $3000 PC? For a MicroCenter comparison, this is about the closest: https://www.microcenter.com/produ...-gaming-pc and that has DDR5-6000 at least.Still, this does have a 4TB SSD and that's not cheap these days. Combined with 64GB of RAM this actually is pretty decent.
That's like 600$ difference between the ram and ssd alone
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.

I don't think the ram speed matters that much, I prefer stability, my 14900k/4090 has 5200 4 dimms 64gb, its been flawless. I dont really care about the processor any more its all about the gpu. Look for the 45l max deals there have been a couple. I just snagged a 35L with a 5070ti and a 14700f, 32gb/1tb for 1399. My oldest 45L is a 12900k, 3080ti, 32gb ddr4 3733, its connected to my big tv, the 35l is replacing it and I'm moving the old 45L to a virtual pinball machine.

There is a 4TB slick deal for $385. 64gb (32x2) where on ale for $650 also. 5080 is about $1100-1200 on Dela. This makes the rest of the computer. $$700-800 so it doesn't seem much of a deal.

CPU $400? Or too low So that leaves $300-400 for
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.
The best part about HP Omen are that only the motherboard (and the GPU, sort of) are HP branded so everything else is good quality name brand stuff. Swap the mobo and it's great. I will say my RTX 3090 is an HP branded and was never hitting the FPS other 3090s would do. But good enough

Believe they are talking about this deal, which is also customizable (I'd personally look at 2GB, faster ram (CL30), and 1000w PSU, which still makes it ~$2700. https://andromedainsights.com/pro...-5080-16gb

Uh?$3500 for a 5090. 9700x. 32GB and 1TB wasn't cheap enough for you? lol
