[CES 2022] HP OMEN 45L review: Still a beast with a new design and better cooling

Our HP OMEN 45L review takes a look at a beast of a gaming desktop that has a separate, unique liquid cooling Cryo Chamber for the CPU.

Solid design ; Unique Cryo Chamber adds extra CPU liquid-cooling ; Plenty of ports/expansion slots ; Easily upgradeable ; Different configurations avaialble ; ATX case available as standalone purchase

Still need a separate app for HyperX memory RGB (OMEN Gaming Hub to be updated soon) ; While conveniently located, the front port positioning would be better suited on the front or side

If you’re looking for your next gaming desktop or ATX case, the HP OMEN 45L is a clear winner. Not only does it have a solid design, but the separate Cryo Chamber offers additional and better liquid-cooling for your CPU. Easily expandable and...

HP Omen 45L Review: Cryo Chamber Game Changer?

Review: The new HP Omen 45L is the best pre-built gaming PC you can buy

HP's new Omen 45L gaming desktop PC is its biggest and most powerful yet thanks to the creative “Cryo Chamber.” With easy overclocking, premium parts throughout, and nothing proprietary, the Omen 45L is easy to recommend to gaming and PC enthusiasts.

Excellent build quality ; Premium brand-name components ; No proprietary parts, easily expandable ; Cryo Chamber is awesome ; Plenty of aRGB/RGB lighting

Performance is excellent, but not the best ; No DDR5 ; No Thunderbolt 4

Bottom line: With top-tier performance, name-brand components, easy upgradeability, and a unique and functional design, the Omen 45L makes a good case as to why building your own PC is unnecessary. Packing up to an RTX 3090, Intel Core i9 (or AMD),...
