Latest Hardware
These desktops come equipped with the newest AMD Zen 5 CPUs, and users can choose from Nvidia Blackwell RTX 50 GPU options. The Omen 35L and Omen 35L Stealth Edition are quite similar, differing mainly in their looks and configuration choices. Both models are designed for easy upgrades, featuring tool-free access.
Design Differences
While the Omen 35L boasts full aRGB control, the Stealth Edition features a sleek all-black design devoid of RGB elements. HP mentions that the Stealth Edition aligns with its collaboration with Riot Games, supporting events like League of Legends and Valorant Champions Tour eSports.
Both desktops kick off with the AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D, but buyers have the option to customize their systems with a range of Zen 5 CPUs, from the Ryzen 5 9600X to the Ryzen 9 9950X3D, using the AMD B850 chipset.
Processing Power
The Omen 35L Stealth Edition also presents some Intel 14th generation CPU choices, such as the Core i5-14400F and the Core i7-14700F, which run on an Intel Z790H chipset.
For graphics, both the Omen 35L and Omen 35L Stealth Edition start with the entry-level Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 and can be upgraded to the RTX 5090. The power supply units range from a 500 W 80 Plus Bronze-certified model to a 1200 W Cybernetics Gold ATX 3.1 fully modular unit.
Memory and Storage
Customers can customize the Omen 35L Stealth Edition with up to 64 GB (2 x 32 GB) of DDR5-5600 RAM and a maximum of a 2 TB PCIe Gen5 NVMe M.2 SSD. In contrast, the regular Omen 35L can support up to 128 GB (4 x 32 GB) of DDR5-5200 Kingston Fury RAM.
On the connectivity side, the AMD versions of both desktops include 3x USB 10 Gbps Type-C, 4x USB 5 Gbps Type-A, 4x USB 2.0 Type-A, and 2 USB 5 Gbps Type-A ports.
Networking Features
For networking, users can choose between a MediaTek Wi-Fi 6E RZ616 with Bluetooth 5.3 or a MediaTek Wi-Fi 7 MT7925 WLAN card (or an Intel Wi-Fi 7 BE200) with Bluetooth 5.4. There’s also a Realtek RTL8125 2.5 GbE NIC for wired LAN.
These models are set to be available on HP.com starting from $1,499.99 in October.
Omen Max 45L Overview
HP’s premium gaming desktop for this year is the Omen Max 45L. Unlike the Omen 35L series, it exclusively offers Zen 5 CPU options, starting from the Ryzen 7 9700X and maxing out with the Ryzen 9 9950X3D on an AMD B850 chipset.
This desktop’s motherboard enables overclocking of both CPU and memory through the BIOS and the Omen Gaming Hub.
Unique Cooling Technology
A defining feature of the Omen Max 45L is its groundbreaking Omen Cryo Chamber cooling system, which draws in cool air from the outside to lower CPU temperatures. HP claims this can reduce full-load temperatures by 7.5 °C for improved performance.
In contrast to the Omen 35L, which has a 240 mm AiO cooler with 2x 140 mm front fans and an Omen 120 mm aRGB rear fan, the Max 45L offers a 360 mm LCD AiO cooler along with 3x Omen 120 mm front aRGB fans and an Omen 120 mm non-RGB rear fan.
GPU Options and Availability
Users can select from Nvidia GeForce RTX 50 series GPUs for the Omen Max 45L, starting with the RTX 5070 and going up to the RTX 5090.
The remaining specs, including ports and networking capabilities, are the same as those found in the Omen 35L series.
The HP Omen Max 45L is anticipated to launch in December, but pricing details have yet to be revealed.
