Deal Details
Your RTX 5090 Deal Lover is back with another post!

Simply go here https://www.hp.com/us-en/shop/pdp...91wjaa-aba
  • There are no coupon to use for this one but it's actually GREAT DEAL and you cannot customize it.
  • There is a labor day specific coupon for GAMERS25 but it does not apply here and not necessary because this price is 35% OFF $7000 MSP!
  • Don't forget to stack your CC stuff.

Don't have EPP? It's still a GREAT DEAL for today and the situation we are in.

Compared to the previous Ultra 265K deal these are the following differences for $4560! Fantastic upgrade price if you look at the comparison and if you needed the extra config.
  • Windows 11 Pro
  • Intel® Coreâ„¢ Ultra 9 processor 285K (instead of 265K)
  • 64 GB memory (instead of 16GB)
  • 2 TB SSD storage ( instead of 16GB)

Of course, you still get this - NVIDIA GeForce RTXâ„¢ 5090 GPU



Just note these differences between AMD and Intel variants but keep in mind that AMD Variants this time has no extra discount nor is Ultra 265K config worth it right now. So hop to it if you wanted Ultra 285 for extra productivity workloads and if you needed 64GB and more storage anyway!


Why I like AMD over Intel (Core Ultra 7 265K) on this HP Platform?
  • Front I/O & Headers: Includes a functional front-panel USB-C port and a dedicated motherboard USB-C header.
  • Power Efficiency: Operates at a conservative 65W CPU base power target vs. the 125W power draw on Intel.
  • X3D Option for true Gaming edge: If you are a gaming, this is a no brainer to get 9800X3D
  • Full Modular 1200W PSU: The Ultra 265K I got had non-modular design and only 12v6 adapter, not the old style 8-pin at all!
  • Refreshed Case Design: Uses HP's updated chassis revision with subtle, cleaner front-panel aesthetics.

You should read some of the reviews, one is from October 2025 that Nay-sayers for this deal will mention.

This OMEN 45L is mainly a 5090 value play, with 64GB RAM, a 2TB SSD, and Windows Pro making it stronger for productivity and parts value than for a clean out of box gaming build. The RTX 5090 is the star, and the OEM card is described as mostly metal and comparable to other 5090s. The Intel version is the normal OMEN 45L, not the MAX model, and the RAM is 4x16. Caveats include HP's locked down BIOS, a non modular Intel PSU, and recurring cooling complaints that can require airflow or cooler changes.

the 5090 in these are BIOS-locked to the PC it's shipped in and cannot be transferred or shucked.

Might get some coin for the RAM though.
This is not true at all. I know several people on the /r/HPOmen sub that have done exactly this.

Do you mind telling us what was the cooling fix you did? Others may benefit from this info. I'd like to include it in the Omen "guide"Yes on the username. lol
Sure I don't mind but I doubt you're going to want to put it in any kind of Omen guide that you're working on. I bought this PC not only for gaming but for work, I work from home and aesthetics are totally unimportant, functionality for me is all that matters. So my solution while effective is certainly not for everyone. I simply removed the cooler and the radiator and fans in the cryo chamber.

I then replaced the cooler with a simple low-cost twin tower twin fan air cooler. That solved the issue of the CPU cores throttling at 105°, that no longer happens with the large air cooler.

I also removed the front glass panel that basically entombed the system and didn't allow much air flow, the front of it is now open, fans exposed and only covered by a dust filter, and the temps within have dropped a few degrees Celsius. The BIOS has very few options as far as tweaking and configurability, beyond setting the XMP profile which was not set out of the box and setting the PC to its maximum performance profile.

Now it runs perfectly fine but looks terrible. If I were buying this as a gaming PC and aesthetics meant anything, I certainly wouldn't buy it nor would I recommend it, although at a deep discount it may be worth it. Especially given the current pricing of RTX 5090s which in the case of the Omen 45 L, is the absolute star of the show. Somebody here in this message thread suggested that the HP Omen 45 L's RTX 5090 is locked at the BIOS level. That's utter nonsense, The Omen 5090 will run in any PC than any other 5090 model will run in.

The 5090 in The Omen won't win any beauty contests compared to some of the other models available, nothing really to see as far as RGB, but the build construction is excellent, mostly metal, and performance-wise it compares favorably against other RTX 5090 models. if somebody does buy one of these to "shuck" as many people do, I would suggest they repurpose every component except for the motherboard and case which IMO are hot garbage. As far as the CPU Cooler is concerned, I quickly chose the quickest route to solve the throttling problem by removing the AIO within the cryo chamber and instead installing a twin tower Thermalright air cooler with two 120mm fans that I had laying around. Doing that swap worked so well, that I just left it alone after that.

Worthwhile if bought at a deal like this, definitely worth it if you take the sum of all its parts, you certainly couldn't replicate it for this amount of money. Wishing you all the best on your Omen guide and hopefully you can help others get the most out of their HP 45 L systems, they aren't really so bad once you get the temps correct and the memory profile running as it should.

I went as far as recommending this to a deal to a close friend today who bought one after I sent him the Slickdeals link. He works from home and his employer just green lighted him buying an RTX 5090 or 5090 rig with a 5k budget. He's been shopping around for a few days and is shocked at the lack of 5090s available all in for 5K or less after tax. This should serve his purposes well. Good for him and good for Jensen. And the guy or girl who's going to end up buying his existing RTX 3090 for way less money than it's worth? Well good for him or her too... I guess.

If you have AAA, you can sign up for their EPP program. I'm still waiting on mine to ship from the last time this deal came up. Got it for $4123.

Aha, very cool info regardless. Good Air Cooler is better than many AIO (for sure 240mm ones). AIO looks cool and most people will not stress the CPU. I only stress the GPU myself and it runs fine for my use.

Funny about the front-plastic/glass, it looks nice but the airflow coming from the side intake is less affective, could have been a mesh in front.

With all these changes, someone may just shuck it into a better case haha. Re-use everything except the case itself. $75 is all you need to get a good Lian Li case.

I want to try one of those 180mm front-fan cases next for a new dual GPU build but even the non-GPU parts will be too expensive already so I will probably not do it.

You are absolutely right and I can see that I'm an outsider here. In the future I'll continue to only open and comment on the 5060 and 5070 posts.

Spread your FUD elsewhere Elmer. Every technobabbler knows that circumventing the BIOS lock is trivial if you just network the haptic array and purge the neogenic stabilizer. Then you just reboot the back-end unicode microchip by shunting the optical SMS interface and you're golden.

beware this is the GT22 not the newer and improved GT23, Personally I would avoid the GT22 due to may reported problems with heat, errors and shutdowns. Do some diligence.

Most of us have seen it or been reminded. But here it is for completeness

https://gamersnexus.net/pre-built...e-reviewed

Specs are the same, model does ends with gt22-3090 here instead of 3000t in the GN tests.

Maybe just some weird sku thing. But yah people shouldn't buy this if they are not comfortable.


I did document the Intel variant has older case and missing a couple of things vs AMD variant. Could be why I always see GT23 model prefix for AMD variant but I need to double check though.


I only ordered 4 for now due to abundance of caution of course

I got the deal with another $100 off, but I did chat with a rep. The rep said if you buy it with a mouse or headphones, you can get $100 off. I did a quick search and found the HP Wired Desktop 320M Mouse for $13.80 on sale. The total was $$ 4,473. 79 before tax.


Other money saving but YMMV, currently Paypal & Chase card have $50 back shopping at HP. A certain cashback site is offering 1-3% back. Happy hunting!

If you have an AMEX everday cash card, it's better than chase, since it's capped at $50 back. With amex I'll get about $150 back with 3% cashback unlimited.

wootwootwootwootwootFixed Spec means they get shipped much faster since they were already pre-assembled.

This deal is already shipping out today

Faster than the customized deals ordered on 8/17. .

You took it the wrong way, I meant it as, you must have missed the recent posts by this 1 man 5090 deal lover cult. The deals are real and boom boom they shipped today. 1 man because I don't want implicate others lol.

Idk why spreading misinformation like this isn't a bannable offense. Dude bashes reddit as an information source while spouting absolute nonsense.
