Here is a link containing more information about the Omen 30L except the graphics card on this link is a RTX 3060ti instead of an RTX 3080 so ignore that part: HP Omen 30L Specs
I know the cooling in this case is not the best but it should be fine for most people, just don't keep your PC on a carpet floor which could lead to bad airflow and more dust getting into your PC. But if you're someone who is looking for better cooling or has old parts/cases that have better cooling, you should be able to easily swap the parts around, just like how this guy has done:

sorted by1. Right out of the box everything seemed fine until a week later, when it wouldn't wake up from sleep at all. It would just go to sleep mode and some lights to remain on, but no matter what I did, it wouldn't respond to anything including a forced shutdown. So I would have to unplug it from the wall to turn it off. Tried many things until I gave up and just turned off sleep mode completely.
2. Not really important, but you can't control RGB on the RAM right out of the box. You have to do some stuff which I couldn't bother to.
3. Thermals are what you expect (mine does have water cooling as well), but you can modify the case to improve it (just search on YouTube)
4. Overall, wouldn't really complain about performance, specially if you paid a good price for it.
EDIT: Just realised my PC has the 25L case which has worse air flow than this 30L, so this one should have better temps than mine (edited)
I originally bought the 3080, i7 version direct from HP about two years ago for just over £1.5k using student discount code, etc.. Paid extra for extended warranty at the time but have never needed to use it. A year after purchase, I couldn’t resist it when Amazon offered the 3080ti, i9 version for even less money.
One word of warning about Amazon though. The Second PC bought from Amazon had been preregistered for warranty by about 4 months. Contacted Amazon CS who, to be fair quickly offered a partial refund of I think £60 to compensate for the loss of warranty period.
Both PC’s have had RAM and SSD storage upgrades which I found reasonably simple. Both PC’s have pretty much been trouble free so can’t speak for HP tech support.
I remember the second PC arrived with a crimped water cooling return tube. Luckily the problem was pretty obvious on inspection and was easily, though a little nervously corrected before I booted the PC for the first time. At the time I wondered whether similar production issues were the root cause of some of the more extreme overheating issues I’d read in other reviews.
Noise wise, it can get a little loud but this is mainly during mid summer when I’m using both for VR gaming or with a pretty demanding AAA game such as Call Of Duty Vanguard, etc..
As a few people have already said, bang for buck when discounted like this it would be difficult to find much better price/spec wise… (edited)
Useful information, as I've just pressed the button and will be checking out the warranty when it arrives!
Well, sort of didn't £108.25 a month for 12 months, 0%. The way interest rates are, that money better in my account than theirs
Stupid question... what's in the box? I presume it's just the PC, no keyboard or mouse?
It's just the PC as far as I know. The included keyboards/mice with prebuilts tend to be terrible e-waste anyway so I hope it doesn't come with any.
The Dell is a good option which I purchased from John Lewis in the sale. If you want 4K gaming then you need £500+ (edited)
Thanks guys!
Any chance any of you could tell me if bears poop in the woods?
And the religious status of the pope?
My biggest question was whether I go for a 3080 (about 10% better than the 3070) or stick with 3070 and pay an extra £100 for branded components. I opted for this one.
Bears only poop in the woods if you see them do it.
To my knowledge, the pope is still currently religious... most probably (edited)
Some of the things that people consider a hassle are fun to me to do but, for instance, let's say you want to replace the cooler with something more appropriate and quieter.
The CPU cooler mounting plate, for reasons best know to HP, is non-standard and it's on the reverse side of the motherboard, so in other words if you've bought that amazing Noctua air cooler, or what have you, you've got to dismantle the computer to get to that mounting plate and replace it!
To me, at that point, you'd be better taking the opportunity to replace the case and motherboard, just transplant the components over, it takes a lot less time than the many mods you could end up doing.
Anyway, assuming you don't mind hassle, it gets worse. The non-standard CPU cooler mounting plate is glued on. As you'll see in the videos, you can remove it, very carefully, very patiently, with a plastic prying tool but it's not for the faint hearted, it's not without risk.
So, let's say you've replaced the CPU cooler with something a lot quieter, less thermal throttling under load, etc. Let's say you've added heatsinks with thermal glue to some of the components on the cost-cutting motherboard. You're not bothered about voided warranties. Let's say, with all the components removed from the case, you do some full-on case mods, vacuum up metal shavings, add fans. Let's say you do the GPU mod, which is arguably the most harrowing of all (again, Youtube). Let's say you do all that.
You're then still stuck, as Linus and the other big review channels point out, with the bios that the motherboard came with.
So, in other words, your computer is (much) quieter, less thermal throttling, good stuff, stuff that I enjoy doing but I trained as an AV tech for two years, I'm not very risk averse, even after doing all that, there's just no performance mode in the bios, or at least not to take advantage of your now cool and quiet computer, that you did all that work on.
I don't have it in for HP (or Dell or Lenovo), they are built to a cost, it's a different market compared to the Cyberpower/AWD-IT, etc, market, no competitive gamer would buy a 30L and most of us, I think, myself included, aren't competitive gamers looking to eek out the last ounce of performance. For me, though, an inaudible computer under load is important but if that doesn't matter to you, to me this seems reasonable value and some of the simpler, less invasive mods help a bit.
Hot - no pun intended.
