HP OMEN 35L – The first customizable OMEN PC

Introducing the first customisable OMEN gaming PC featuring OMEN-branded components: the HP OMEN 35L. This model sets a new industry standard for future upgradeability, offering a fresh OMEN Gaming Hub that allows for ARGB lighting adjustments and a customizable user interface. Powered by Intel and AMD Ryzen processors with various graphics options, the OMEN 35L is designed with three key priorities in mind: high performance with AI-enabled features, personalization to reflect your unique style, and easy upgradeability using industry-standard components for future customization.

The HP OMEN 35L is designed with superior airflow and thermal capacity, featuring two large 140mm ARGB fans and a 240mm liquid cooling system, complemented by a 92mm round air cooler. This setup ensures that the OMEN 35L runs 5°C cooler than the OMEN 25L, which uses a 92mm dual heatpipe system. The fan P/Q curves are precisely aligned with the case’s airflow path, making it 1.5 dBA quieter while delivering a 25% performance boost compared to the OMEN 25L. Additionally, it supports an mATX motherboard form factor, capable of accommodating up to NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 graphics cards. The improved cable management allows for easy access and upgradeability, while the front I/O ports provide convenient access with one USB-C and two USB Type-A connectors.

The HP OMEN 35L will also have a great performance catered to AMD Architecture as it supports up to AMD Ryzen 7 8700G , AMD Ryzen AI to deliver the power of personal AI processing, and DDR5 with AMD EXPO for high-speed memory overclocking that is up to 6000Hz. But don’t fret, as it will also deliver a great performance catered to Intel Architecture as it supports up to Intel Core i7-14700F, high frequency for additional efficient cores and higher L3 cache for selected SKUs, and an intelligent workload optimization with a performance hybrid architecture.

The HP OMEN 35L with AMD is available for $1299.99 , and Intel will be available for $1369.99 at HP.com , which will soon be available at BestBuy.com .
