HP OMEN - 40L Gaming Desktop - Intel Core i5-12400F - HyperX 16GB Memory - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 - 1TB SSD - Nightfall Black

I needed a pc strictly for gaming and this was definitely in the budget, and I’m also new to pc gaming. Supporting 165 refresh rate monitoring, high fps for any casual gamer. It’s fast, it’s quiet, and easy to set up. Rendering clips though… the fans will ramp up. But that comes with the territory and it’s brief. It is upgradeable too so that’s a plus and I’ll be adding more internal fans to keep this cool since my room is the hotbox of the house. But it’s definitely worth it for anyone who is starting or transitioning to pc gaming like me. As I said, it’s strictly for pc gaming only, and my laptop is used to marry them both with elgato for streaming. Great for Call of duty in 2022, and I still use my elite controller. While gaming cod it’s mainly quiet and my fps is stable around 165, sometimes peaking around 180-200 fps with high ingame settings and performance mode and turbo thermal control on the pc, fans will ramp up from time to time with these settings. With normal ingame settings my fps is the same as I mentioned, with performance mode on and thermal control on turbo, just not overusing the ram so I keep ingame settings on normal and just tweaked the fov. Gpu temps will peak at 82-85 degrees Celsius when gaming call of duty with high ingame settings and peak around 72-78 Celsius on normal ingame settings performance mode and turbo thermal controls. Don’t ask me why. So just keep it simple. U don’t need to overclock this bad boy. It’s great out the box. Rgb lighting is a plus. I have dual monitors but I also use displayfusion software (30$) for multiple monitor set up. This pc is worth it, and affordable, and it does more than just getting the job done. I love this pc. Word of advice, don’t get lost in the sauce trying to figure how to make this pc pro type and start changing settings that you don’t know that you see in YouTube tutorials. Just download your games (battlenet, Xbox game pass) enable GeForce experience, get an external drive to save your clips to, put the pc in performance mode, turbo thermal on, and you’re good, disk scan and clean every week to keep your pc in shape, and use it for gaming only, if that’s what you mainly do.

Very well equipped machine! I am very pleased with the performance so far; I do a lot of AI stuff and this machine is able to take anything I throw at it so far. Big fan of the RGB too. One thing I'm not a fan of though is that the ball bearings on the CPU fan aren't the best, so they make a constant vibrating noise. I'll have to replace the CPU fan eventually.

Great gaming pc for great price, this can handle almost anything you toss at it ..its louder than expected but not ps5 loud or xbox series , all in all good by, be aware some have had issues with sleep not wake issues so check online about which models have been affected and if there is any fix....thank you

Love how it runs doesnt overheat its quiet only downfall is the space which I recommend upgrading

Runs really well. I got it during Black Friday on sale so it was worth the price honestly. Can say it’s a chonky boy so definitely not recommended if you have a small setup space, playing mainly Minecraft, Sims and watching YouTube (but of a waste I know) but it does it’s job

I wanted to upgrade my older HP Omen but didn’t want to spend a ton of money. I got an amazing open box price on this 40L omen and it does everything i need and more. I didn’t expect the i5 12400f to be as amazing as it performs for me. It blows my old i7 out of the water. The 3060 is only a single fan, but it never gets above 65c even playing warzone at 1440p at very good frame rates. OMEN gaming hub allows for a simple RAM overclock and you can control the many intake/exhaust and cpu fans from the hub. It might not be top of the line but excels in all the games, including AAA i play.

So far i haven’t had any problems with this pc. I’ve upgraded the ram adding an extra 32 gb. Which was very easy to do. There hasn’t been any game I’ve attempted to play that didn’t play well. And every game i play on max settings. Pc is generally quiet. It looks nice. And I’m just overall pleased with it considering the price.

This is my first dedicated gaming pc in about 12 years. Needless to say that technology has advanced greatly. I did upgrade the ram to 32gb which was very easy and quickly done. After that modification, it has been able to handle anything I have thrown at it. I would recommend this pc to anyone.
