What a brilliant tutorial Dan! This is extremely useful for anyone wanting to install extra and/or different fans to their HP omen. Thank you for all that you do.
😎😎😎
Dan, these videos have been so helpful! I bought the Omen 25L this year and replaced the fans. Such a notable difference. Thank you for this series!
You’re welcome and happy to hear!
Just want to say thanks for all your vids about your Omen! Helped make a tough decision a lot easier.
You’re welcome Brian! Happy to help 😎😎😎
I actually followed your video guide on installing extra fans. I have added two 120mm Chromax fans in the case, one intake at the bottom and one at the top as an exhaust, it has helped with the cooling. I am still using the stock prism cpu cooler. My current idle temp is now a steady 35 centigrade, dropped from the previous 45. Also my fans are set to quiet in the Omen command centre.
Those are some great temps!! Glad I could help. Omens just need a little airflow in em
@@DanKamYouKnow I`m really pleased with the results, your video guides for the Omen are very useful.
@@DanKamYouKnow Can you tell me why in my Omen 40 L does not turn on the AIO led light?
I have seen that not all AIO’s actually have the lighting on it.
@@DanKamYouKnow Can you adjust the added fans speed with a software?
Dan you are a lifesaver. I’ve learned a lot about modifying from you because I also have an Omen PC (same model). Since watching you it has dropped almost 20 degrees and I will soon be using my PC as a walk in cooler to store meats and ice cream. Have a great holiday season and New Year sir!
HAHAHAHA!! That’s hilarious. So glad I could help you out Matt! Stay frosty 🥶
Just got my 25l today.
Been binging your vids all week.
Can't wait to add/upgrade fans.
You talked me into buying the 25l
Congrats on the new PC!!! 😎😎😎🎉🎉🎉
@@DanKamYouKnow wasn't expecting a reply from the man him self! That's wicked cool
@@ersiefrost4699 I reply to 99% of my comments! Have a good day!
Thanks for this video!
Just got my 25L for my sim racing setup, because building a pc at the moment is really expensive
I had temp issues and the stock fans were too loud, now I got better fans and a new cpu cooler and it's a lot quieter and cooler
Nice dude!
I love this video, I didn’t know there were so many places to put a fan 😎
Thanks Aaron! Whole lot of fans to throw in the case lol
Very informative video, cheers man. I should be doing my fans early Jan, but in the mean time the cool weather will keep the PC nice and chilly. Congrats on 1.7k btw 😁
Hey Harry! Yeah, your PC temps are looking good, probably due to that cold weather. Thanks dude!
Thanks, Dan! This and your other tutorials on the Omen 30L are very helpful. Keep up the great work.
Happy to hear Paul! I appreciate your comment and thank you.
Just wanted to stop by and thank you for this in depth guide. I used it back in early 2021 when I got my first real PC - my HP Omen 25L which is almost identical to yours (RTX 3070 and Ryzen 5 3600) and I copied every fan placement you showed here, the only thing different is I'm still using the stock cooler with a small size Noctua fan on it. PC still runs great and a lot of it is thanks to you, its coming up on its 3rd birthday soon!
Great to hear! You have been subbed to my channel for a long time, appreciate the support!
installing a fan soon! thanks this is going to help alot
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😎😎😎
Another great video. Have been using the 30L stock for a few days with a few fans and a U9S on the way. Been telling the wife, "babe there is nothing I can do, DanKam says..." May try to press my luck with that line on non-PC stuff and see how much mileage I can get from it. Thanks again.
LOL! The U9S will solve all temperature problems for you ( except GPU if that’s an issue for you ). The extra fans do help but the weakest point ( other than the case ) is the cooler, BY FAR. Thanks Rob!!
All your videos regarding Omen 25L helped make the call to buy one! Thank you
Happy to hear my friend!!!
Hey, just wanted to let you know that I installed those 2 120mm fans like you did, and took your advice to utilize dynamic fan curves, and, sure enough, the combination of those the new fans plus the fan speed curves dropped my temps by ~10C! Thanks for your help! Super happy with the set up. She purrs like a kitten.
That’s great to hear! Glad it worked out for you my friend 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
I appreciate your videos man, I installed a top mount fan and while my temperatures are now staying in the safe zone I'm going to be extra safe so I took your advice and ordered a fan to put at the bottom of the case. Thank you for making these videos.
Nice dude!!! Those are great mods to increase airflow within the case! You’re welcome and I appreciate your support! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Great video man can't wait to get my 30l on Wednesday! I've already got 2 fans waiting
So close to getting your PC, a couple more days!!
How's your pc so far?
@@DavyMaybe it’s awesome! I’ve followed all of Dan’s videos by adding a top mount exhaust fan, upgrading the stock case exhaust fan and swapping out the cpu cooler all to noctua stuff
Did you also changed the PSU? 500W by default is what i have
Only really need to change the PSU if you are installing a GPU that requires more power. I just uploaded a PSU install video if you’re interested, when the time comes.
Thanks for all your Omen vids bud. Although I've loved tech since the early days of windows 95 computers I've never took the plunge with the world of gaming pc till now. You answered alot of questions!
Appreciate your comment my friend! 😎🤝😎
Great video! just bought an omen, my first gaming pc, and this helped alot with installing new fans.
Thank you and happy to hear you got them installed! 👌🏻
Just purchased the 30L so this video is going to be very helpful in the next few weeks when I get my hands on it and see what needs to be changed.
Congrats on the new PC! Let me know if you have any questions.
I just got a 30L this weekend. Time for the upgrades.
Nice!!!
grandma joined the gang with the 30L
GRANDMA! GRANDMA! GRANDMA! GRANDMA! GRANDMA!
Thanks for the wiring info at the end, I feel a ton more comfortable trying to go at this. Edit: so parts ordered got the cooler the fans and the noctua thermal paste, think I can do just about all of it but thinking of taking the cpu cooler and paste to geek squad and have them do a set up like yours with the dual fans, do you think that they will do it correctly? I am very hesitant about trying to take the motherboard out and installing the cooler...
Replying to old comments, haven't seen you around in awhile! Hope everything is good
This was super helpful. Definitely going to try this setup .
Only thing I would change is that front fan, doesn’t make much difference. Bottom and top are a must. As well as a different CPU cooler.
Love the video, super helpful and thanks for taking the time to put this together!!
Appreciate the love my dude! 👌🏻😎
Hey, nice vid as always. Question, do you know how to/if it's even possible to take off the mesh on the bottom? I want to increase the air intake from the bottom
I do not believe it’s possible to remove the mesh bottom.
Hey man ! I ve been watching your videos and I have to say thank you so much! I have bought a pre-build omen 25L with an AMD 5 3600 and my CPU temperature while streaming and playing league of legends or brawhalla ( really weak games ) increase up to 80 and sometimes 85 degrees Celcius ofc. I have even since opened the case for more air to pass through.
I wanted to ask you if you considered getting water cooling such as the Kraken m22 water cooling which I bought and I found extremely difficult to mount since I have to take the motherboard out entirely and I am not even sure If I will be able to mount the radiator plus thefan since you the case is really small and not the best for extra parts. My questions for you would be, is 70 to 80 degree not as alarming as it seems ? And would you advise to follow your method and install multiple fans on the inside instead of a water cooling system ?
Thanks a ton ! And wish you a great day Dan !
Hey Ahmad! A 120mm liquid cooler should fit within the chassis of the Omen with no issues, but you will have to remove the motherboard. I myself went with a Noctua air cooler which has yielded better results than 120mm AIO’s and doesn’t involve mounting a radiator.
The fan additions/replacement will slightly help with temperatures and also fan noise ( if you replace the stock HP fans ). You could always try and set your maximum processor state to 99% and your minimum processor state to 5%. That made my temperatures plummet with almost zero performance loss. But tbh, 75-85c is a bit warm but those temperatures are considered safe. You could continue to game and everything would be fine. Cooler temps will make the components last even longer though.
A year later and I just found this video. Bought an OMEN 30L prebuilt for my friend and I wanted to swap out all the cooling so I went ahead and bought just about everything you recommended. The setup is a little bit different but overall, the parts fit great. Great video!
Thanks! I had great luck with this fan / cooler configuration 👍🏻
Appreciate the video. I can’t get the top bracket to loosen up. Anyone know exactly which Philips’ to use?
Phillips head #2 should work
@@DanKamYouKnow That worked. Laying it down to get the top bracket off also helped. Thanks a lot
Niiicceeee! Those screws are on there very tight.
Awesome video, been looking at a 30L with a 6600XT, but didn't want to purchase until I found a few ways to improve the thermals. Nice to see that plate can have those brackets punched out!!
Thanks! Omens run a bit warm ( but safe ), so some fan additions make a nice improvement. Even just removing that bracket by itself makes a change in temps 👍🏻
Thanks for videos. People need to ensure they have more inflow than outflow before they detab the top bracket, or else the rear fan will pull in air from top and send it right out the rear, cooling nothing.
If the top fan is exhaust that should not happen right? I am thinking of installing a Chromax to the top of my 30L case but I am a noob and this is my first ever pc and cpu and gpu runs at 80c-83c when playing flight sim.
Dude flight sim eats my 30l, I'm running a fresh air duct from outside, direct through the top. I'm in Alaska and temps are below freezing and still I'm running hot.
Just want to share some info, if you like it, you can take it with you, if not leave it as is.
I recently bought the Hp Omen 25L with 3070 in it. From idle to gaming, the temperature was never below 60 C. It can reach max 80 C when playing FPS games. *Max CPU speed.
If you want actual normal temps. Try using the pc in Open case. See what temps you are getting. What I am trying to say is, a good case with good airflow will be very close to your open case temp.
It doesn't really matter how many heatsinks or fans you add to that case from HP, it just doesn't have enough outlets (holes) to carry the volume of heat generated by the components.
So what choices do you have?
1. Cheap and easy, use your pc open without the glass panel.
2. Buy a new case and transfer your components.
3. For sure get a new case and use a better cooling (aircool heatsink, or watercooled AIO/ system).
What did I do? I went with another PC case and added a 280M AIO cooler.
What are my temps now? 36 idle to 50 Max load.
HP was my first prebuild and will be last, it is just not worth the money and time to solve issues that should never be there on the first place.
Thanks for the comment. I have pretty much experimented with just about all configurations for the Omen and made videos on case swapping / heatsink replacement / AIO install / fan additions / etc. I do agree that the case is a limiting factor with Omens. I disagree that lowering CPU temps is not possible with heatsinks or AIO's. I have ran a Noctua U9S air cooler and a Corsair H60 AIO, and CPU temps dramatically. Almost a 20c difference under an R23 benchmark, which is 100% CPU utilization. I also case swapped which dropped that temp about 5-10c lower than that. ( czcams.com/play/PLx9LWJcz6lN5lMqNjh_4gKG9YW5tMKHwA.html ). All Omen videos I made are in there including the case swap, U9S, H60, etc ).
Also, 80c under max load ( I'm not sure if you mean 100% CPU utilization or max game load ) is completely safe, well below the throttle limit for AMD and Intel CPU's. It is a bit warm for most peoples liking, including myself though.
Case swapping is a GREAT idea though for different AIO setups / taller and bigger air coolers / fan configurations / airflow / etc. I highly recommend it as you have as well. This video was more for people that don't want to case swap but optimize their Omen a bit better.
Great video, thank you! Will definitely upgrade and add a top fan, maybe upgrade the CPU fan also. :)
This is exactly the video guide I needed. Great job 👍
Thanks Stephen! Glad it was useful for you!
@@DanKamYouKnow Two new fans arriving tomorrow for top and bottom of the case 🙂
Nice! Let me know how it goes.
Thank you for all your videos. They have been super helpful. Quick question - on 25L have you ever noticed the PSU fan intermittently kicks in even while scrolling a webpage or a small mouse movement. It makes an audible click sound every time it spins( sounds like a spinning drive head movement when it is loading up programs). The PC itself is quiet otherwise. Thanks again!!
You’re welcome and thanks for watching! Yes, the PSU fan is designed to come on and off and is unfortunately, completely normal operation and no way to get around it.
Same for me.
thank you so much! so helpful, can’t wait to get my omen 30l. one question though, how long did it take for your pc to get to your house?
You’re welcome! I ordered mine from Costco and had mine in 2 days! 😳. I’ve heard of you order directly from HP, it could take several weeks depending upon your configuration
@@DanKamYouKnow thank you!
Have you gotten your omen yet?
@@joel4214 Yes I did, it’s great
@@mayenamorado6821 how delayed was it from the original date that you were supposed to receive it??
Just picked up some fans from your links thanks for the vid!
Appreciate the support! Thank you
Very cool solution, it will save my pc! I will assemble it at my Omen 25L 😇 cause the temperatures and the speed of the actual set is horrible. Thank you very much for this!
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Do you use your top fan as an exhaust or an intake? I’m a new learner that just got an Omen 30L and I want to learn the best ways to modify to improve my temperatures. Thanks and great video!
For my setup, I found that the top works best as an exhaust fan. But it takes about 3 minutes to flip it around, and you could test with it as an intake as well. Welcome to the PC world! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Watch his other videos as well buddy. As a former noob the most important thing to look for as a gamer is at his video on the memory problem. Dang proprietary hp crap motherboard but yea good luck
@Emmy I have a 3060 omen as well with a ryzen 5 5600 ... i have no issues with my GPU at all it runs very cool honestly, the CPU however is a different story. I want to add water cooling but im nervous ill fuck up my computer so i think i will just be adding 1 or 2 more fans and hopefully that helps
Any info on the CPU cooler? i had purchased a Cooler Master Hyper 212 and my case is not deep enough. So that looks interesting lol
Couldn't remember if you commented on another post but the cooler is the Noctua U9S and it's FANTASTIC!
I just bought an Omen 30L and noticed that the temperature was high. your video helped me a lot
That’s awesome! Congrats on the new PC!
@@DanKamYouKnow I didn't know the top panel was removeable and I removed it and my PC temp lowered by 20%.
Yup, easy way to lower temps is by removing that bracket 👌🏻
Great tutorial. Keep up the great work brother. 👍
Thanks Miguel!
Just got my 30L on Saturday, The omen is not running hot but I am still adding the top fan. Thanks for the video, hopefully I don't go with the upgrade upgrade upgrade mentality, haha, I know I will.
It’s hard not to fall into the “upgrade” mode, especially being a PC enthusiast. Constantly want to change and upgrade everything 😂. My Omen didn’t really run hot, but when I would render videos, it would. The fan additions and CPU cooler made a huge difference 👍🏻
@@DanKamYouKnow Great video.I bought an Omen 25L 3070 RTX with Ryzen 7 3700x/32GB DDR4 and 2TB Nmve pcIe storage.The Top mount bracket idea is a lifesaver.By instaling a 120 mm Corsair top fan and a Front 92 Noctua Fan my temperatures are around 32 idle and 62 while gaming with all setting at high.Thanks Dam your videos are like a bible to me when it comes to this computer.I need you to explain something to me.If my pc comes with a 550W PSU how can it runs perfectly with my CPU and GPU????????
Your system only probably draws about 400w of power. The 3700x is a 65w TDP and I think the 3070’s are about 220w ( I could be wrong ) so 550w is more than sufficient. HP would not ship a computer with an inadequate PSU.
Thanks for your kind words!
@@DanKamYouKnow Thanks to you for the quick reply and the video quality.
Hello Dan, thanks for very informative vid. I was wondering if changing out parts (PSU, Fans, Etc) would void HP’s warranty, because I want to add a 120mm liquid cpu cooler and some other fans as well and still have the security of knowing that I have a warranty service. Also, I have the intel version of this pc so, will I still be able to do all of these upgrades? Appreciate it, keep up the great work!
Most of those items will void the warranty, yes. HP will only perform warranty work if the computer is in its stock form. So, if the PC was reverted back to stock before sending it to them for warranty work, they would perform the work needed. And thank you Spencer!!!
@@DanKamYouKnow thanks for the clarification!
NP. With the warranty, you have to treat it as a “What HP doesn’t know won’t hurt them”. So if you revert it back to stock before you warranty convo / work with them, they won’t know about the mods.
Dude I just added a Noctua fan in the front right where you did and it dropped my ssd temps by 16c. So happy with the results, ssd is sitting at a steady 33c now. I should have done that so much sooner lol. Thanks again for making this video man it has helped alot.
That’s awesome to hear! Glad the video helped you out my dude. You’re welcome 🤝
@@DanKamYouKnow I have one more question, in the omen software is it safe to put the fan speed to turbo? besides it being a bit louder is there any downside to it? When I put it on turbo my temps dropped quite a bit and I'd like to keep it that way, I am going to be getting a new case with better airflow soon but in the mean time I'm doing everything I can to keep the temps down. Putting it on turbo has dropped my CPU temps to around 60, my gpu to 49 and my ssd to 30c and I'm really happy with those temps just wondering how much faster the fans will wear out if I keep it on turbo
The fans are pretty much designed to run at any speed throughout their RPM range, stunning them on turbo all the time is just fine, and I actually recommend it. 👍🏻
@@DanKamYouKnow Awesome, thanks dude.
Awesome thank you! I plugged my top fan into the lc pump slot and it sounds like a damn jet engine. I’ll definitely pick up a fan splitter.
It will definitely help with noise! Glad I could help!
Where do you plug in the fan splitter on the motherboard?
I show it in the video towards the end. The rear and top fan are plugged into the SYS_fan header
Have you ever experienced any coil whine issues? My 25L has a pretty mean coil whine issue with it while gaming. Though its harmless it can be pretty annoying. Im thinking maybe changing the PSU will remove the coil whine issue but idk.
I have heard several people complain about PSU noises and coil whine but the small amount of GPU coil whine doesn’t bother me at all. Most people hear a clicking type noise from the PSU that goes away with a better quality one.
@@DanKamYouKnow do you have any recommendation on which power supplies to upgrade to and which ones would work with this case.
Pretty much any power supply will work, I would just make sure the dimensions of the new PSU are the same but I think most are. I have not changed my PSU out so I’m not 100% sure but I have seen a wide variety of PSU’s put in.
Maybe run some thermal tests before and after installing upgrades to see what kind of extra cooling these new fans do for the GPU and CPU.
I have some videos dedicated to the thermals I’m getting with this setup. But to recap:
CPU:
Idle: 40-45c
In Game: 60-65c
Rendering: 75-80c
GPU:
Idle: 30-40c
In Game: 60-67c
Stock - CPU:
Idle: 55-60c
In Game: 75-80c
Rendering: 90-95c
GPU:
In Game: 75-80c
The biggest change I saw was changing the CPU cooler and setting up a custom fan curve for my GPU in MSI Afterburner.
@@DanKamYouKnow Thanks! Yeah I just purchased the Omen 30L RTX 3080, and was going to switch out some of the fans for Noctua, and adding fans where you’ve specified. Then seeing how the Omen AIO performs during gaming and editing, have a few AIOs that I may switch in there if need be. I also was on the fence to just swap out the case for the Lian Li 011 Dynamic, and go from there. But didn’t want to spend too much more money if I didn’t have to.
The best mod you can do for your system ( the higher end 10700K’s / 3080 builds and higher ) is to swap out the case. Fans will have very little effect because the case just lacks airflow. If I had your system, I would swap out the case and opt for a 240 or 280mm AIO. Only AIO that fits in an Omen case is a 120mm and that’s just not enough for those super strong processors. Plus the 3080 gives off a lot of heat as well. I’ve seen those machines sit between 85-90c while gaming in stock form. Way too warm for my liking.
@@DanKamYouKnow Does swapping out to a new case void the warranty on the Omen through HP?
Yes. HP will require the PC in stock form before they consider warranting anything. I did just do a case swap for my channel though if your interested.
I ordered 4 120mm fans, the splitter, and the control to make a similar set up on my Omen 25L. The total came out to more than the Noctua CPU cooler you're using. I am planning on using the Omen cooler for at least 4 months before upgrading the CPU cooler. I think having great airflow in the entire case is probably better than just adding the CPU cooler by itself. I'm going to run some tests to see the temps before/after adding the 120mm fans.
It’s actually the opposite. The CPU cooler is hands down the best modification you could make to the PC. You really only have room for a top and bottom mounted 120mm fan, so you really only need 2. You could maybe double sided tape a 120mm to the front. In my opinion, I’d do the CPU cooler, top 120, and bottom 120.
Dude thank you! Just got my 30L 3060 ti and the temp it's been hitting is awful! Just ordered all new fans and this video is going to help me a lot!
Nice!! Let me know if you have any questions when you get everything 😎👍🏻
hey man i have a 3060ti omen as well , did you get 4 pin fans or 3 pins
@Jesus Melendez I honestly can't remember but I want to say they were 4 pin! Don't quote me on that lol
@@InsomniacGamr ima order the 4 pin on amazon as we speak man . While playing warzone my gpu hits 83 c sometimes higher
@Jesus Melendez oh wow! Ya replaced all fans and that helped a lot you should also get the ryzen cpu control app so you can change it that helped too and then the program to control your fan speed but I'm playing elden ring on 1440 and it stays at 60 now
i got two 92mm fans coming in tomorrow that im replacing the 120mm at the bottom for. well see how that goes.
Good luck and let me know if you have any questions
@@DanKamYouKnow hey man I was curious my gpu and cpu gets over 150/170 sometimes whenever I’m playing a game of let’s say fortnite is that good or bad? That’s in Fahrenheit but the celsius is around 60/70
Usually, PC temps are always listed in Celsius ( even though I’m from California ). 60-70c for the CPU and GPU are completely safe and I wouldn’t worry about those temps. If you are over 80c and getting close to 90c, then that’s a little too warm.
@@DanKamYouKnow okay so your telling me if the Fahrenheit is over 170 for the cpu and gpu I have nothing to worry about but if the celsius is over 90for both the cpu and gpu that’s a little to warm?
Yes, over 80c is getting warm and over 90c is too warm and settings / fans / CPU cooler, should be changed.
For the boiiiiiiiiiiisssss 😎😎!
The boooiiiisssssss
@Ar 15 the assault rifle fifteen
gonna try this! probably just the top and bottom for now but it should help. thanks
Honestly, adding a top and bottom fan is really all you need! Easy work, you got this
@DamKamYouKnow Hey man, I had a question. Do you think I would be able to plug in the bottom fan that you installed with the y split connector you linked in the description? thanks
Super helpful, thanks!
Awesome video dude. Subscribed ✅
Thank you! Appreciate the subscription!!
Fantastic video!
Thanks Darryn!
Hey Dan, lovely tutorial as usual ! saw your surgery video and had a few question as I'm getting a 25L :P
When you end up running 7 fans on this 25L, are the noise noticeable while just browsing youtube ?
Have you noticed which of the 7 fans creates the loudest noise when you are maxing games?
You mentioned you are swapping case due to bad airflow/thermals, wasn't the 7 fans enough to cool things down ?
Thanks and stay safe !
Thanks! With higher quality fans, their noise level goes down drastically, so even with all the fans I have now, the fan noise level is not bad at all. The component that actually creates the most noise is my GPU fan.
Actually, as of right now with everything I have done, my Omen runs fantastic and I’m a more or less doing these mods for expand ability and channel content. New case brings more options for fans and cooler, while a new motherboard brings all the BIOS adjustments.
I just got my 30L today and thought it was running too hot. but it came with an amd ryzen 7 5800x which apparently runs hot . i ran a short stress test at close to max cpu clock speed and it shot up to 90c instantly but once the fans kicked in it was sitting at 75c the next 30 mins no issue. Im going to let the omen run like it is for a while (factory stock), if i upgrade it in the future i'll get a whole new tower with better airflow to put the components in. Im very happy with this pre builts performance so far
Thermal throttle is 95c so you’re totally fine. The 5800x is actually one of Ryzen warmest running CPU’s too. Case swapping will lower temps quite a bit. Glad to hear you are enjoying it 👌🏻
You might now see this comment but I literally got a hp omen gaming desktop five days ago and this helped so much and also made me feel stupid but you got my sub as soon as I found out that I can take out that top ceiling and add a fan there so thank you so much😁😁👍
Thanks for the sub! I have an entire Omen playlist if you want to check it out, I’ve made over 30 videos on my 25L.
Yeah, the Omen is interesting and took a lot of experimenting when I first got it in April or 2020.
@@DanKamYouKnow yeah I’ll watch them
Let me know if you have questions
@@DanKamYouKnow hi I’m back with a couple of questions of course, so I saw your video on installing fans which helped me out because I needed to make sure on how to do that and it was easy to understand and helped me out a ton but I got a new problem now, so recently(yesterday) I got cooler master fans and they have rgb but it was just a one fan and I don’t know how to use the rgb cause my motherboard has less spaces then the ones I have seen in your old videos and I can use some help on how to install the fans, the fan name is “Cooler Master Masterfan mf120 120mm halo white edition” and I got it off Amazon so any type of help with the rgb would be grateful
Unfortunately, powering RGB components with the Omen motherboard is a pain in the butt and just doesn’t work properly. And even if you figure out a workaround, most RGB software won’t work with Omen motherboards. That’s why I went with non-RGB fans
Hey, Dan! Thank you so much for the videos! Question for you, and apologies if you answered this already: what would you suggest as the recommended (realistic) temperature for both GPU and CPU?
On a stock Omen while IN GAME: 60c - 83c for CPU and roughly the same for GPU. Those are completely normal temps and are considered safe.
You sir, are a legend
Thanks my dude 👌🏻👍🏻😎🤝
You're the only one who's done enough with these that I can think to ask, so here goes! I picked up an Omen 25L shell (case/mb/psu/cooler/HDD) and I'm in the process of rebuilding it. Unfortunately, it didn't have the top bracket that you've mounted the 120mm exhaust fan to. Do you have any idea where I might be able to get a replacement? I'd love to mount that extra fan or a 120mm AIO, but without that bracket, it's a lot more difficult. Thanks!
Honestly, your best bet is to either join our HP Omen Discord group in the description and see if anyone is willing to part with theirs ( we have a For Sale channel ) or contact HP and see if they can sell you one.
@DanKamYouKnow Another great video. It seems kind of simple but, from time to time questions come up in yt comments and on discord regarding how to determine fan airflow (exhaust or intake) and how different fan configurations work. Maybe another video where you explain it for 25L/30L and blow smoke through your computer to demonstrate?
That is a good idea. I’ll have to look into this. I’d be curious for my own knowledge.
Awesome Idea. Maybe A Vapor Instead Of A Smoke. Less Particulates
Thanks for all your videos Dan, I have a question regarding the front 92mm fan you installed. I have a 30L case and was thinking about adding one but would it interrupt the airflow from the bottom intake fan you think?
Honestly, the fan I mounted in the front didn’t really help with airflow that much. It definitely won’t hurt but didn’t make the biggest difference. It shouldn’t interrupt flow though 👍🏻
yes!!thankyou
😎😎
I am so glad I found you channel bro. I got my Omen 30L a week ago and it is my first desktop ever. I have a question, man: will the Cooler Master - Master Liquid ML240L AIO fit this case on the top? I wanna upgrade my cooling system but I am a total noob. Thanks brother!
PS: It is a 240mm radiator overall size
Congrats on your new PC! Only 120mm AIO’s will fit in the Omen case.
@@DanKamYouKnow i appreciate the fast reply. Thanks brother!
No problem! I have had great success with my Noctua Chromax U9S air cooler in my Omen. Full tutorial on my channel as wel
Love your videos Dan! There aren't many vids on omen PCs out there. Thanks for all the help! I'm planning to add 2 fans on the bottom; however, I don't have FT_FAN4 (front fan 4) on my PC version (875-0034). Is it possible to use the fan controller on the Lc Pump to slow down the fan speed for the two bottom fans? Another option I saw was adding a fan power cable hub splitter.
Hey, thank you!! Can you y-split off your current fan headers? And honestly, you really only need 1 fan at the bottom ( 120mm ). Most hubs don’t work well with Omens, they will often have Omens throw the “fan error” upon every start up
Hiya Dan, thank you fo4 your videos they are awesome. I just purchased an HP Omen 25L with a gtx 2060 for a very good price, it’s for my son and I did think at the time that the fans looked like a weak spot. I have a couple of questions, why didn’t you go AiO for the cpu? Like the Corsair 120mm AiO? Also have you shown us how you are running the fan controller powering the bottom 2 fans and the front fan? How is that setup working? Does this mean you cannot control those fans and they are 100% all the time?
So, the Omens can only fit a 120mm AIO, or an air cooler under 140mm in height. My Noctua U9S has shown better results than any 120mm AIO out there, plus I honestly like the way my air cooler looks compared to a 120mm AIO ( 280 and 360 AIO’s look sweet though ).
The fan controller is powered off the empty SATA power plug for the 2nd hard-drive ( so you wouldn’t be able to use a 3rd drive if you use a a fan controller. ). It can hook up to 3 fans and their is a manual turning knob to set the fan speed for connected fans.
@@DanKamYouKnow Hi Dan. Late response, but: What fan controller do you use??
amzn.to/3f391W4
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks for this , I bought 2x of the noctua 120mm , one for top and one for bottom, y splitted them into my omen 25L i7, 3060rtx ti, but to be honest I got same temps as before 😅while gaming in 2k I got like 80 degrees for gpu , 70 CPU , normal Gaming is like 60 for both
For maximum effect and to lower your GPU temps a bit, I would use the program MSI Afterburner, to make a custom GPU fan curve that’s a bit more aggressive than the stock one. Should be able to lower it down a couple Celsius. 70 for the CPU is perfect and no need to worry
Hi Dan and thank you for great videos! I have 25L blasting in corner of my livingroom and my wife asked me why my pc sounds like jet engine. So here I am taking notes. 😁 I have ordered Nzxt Kraken m120 for cpu and Noctua NF-A9 PWM fan to replace backpanel fan. I am adding intake after I see results of those mods. My question why I'm here. Did you ever measured or do you know Omens noice level in its original state? My Kraken db is 25 and Noctuas 22,8 db. Those are low but I cant find any number where I can compare
Hey! I unfortunately do no own a DB meter to check their sound level about I would honestly say it’s very high, maybe around 45-55-db. The stock HP fans are VERY high RPM which can lead to a lot of noise. The Noctuas can push the same amount of air at a much lower RPM, resulting in the noise difference.
Only problem is you’ll still probably hear your GPU fan(s) but it won’t be too bad.
Hey Dan, you helped me out in my last comment about fans but this time im coming to you with a different issue. I just got my Omen 25L with the RTX2060, just downloaded warzone and after a few minutes, an audible buzzing started occurring. Definitely load enough to hear. The buzzing continues until i enter a loading screen or a black screen when i tab out then quickly starts again. Would this be the GPU? coil whine? not having enough power? Omen comes with a 500W power supply. Would love your expert opinion on what you think it is, what i should do, and if it is much cause for concern. Thanks for all the great videos and help!
500w is definitely enough to power your system. It most likely is normal coil whine coming from the GPU. Have you taken off the side panel to try and pin-point exactly where it’s coming from? A buzzing though could be coming from a fan or something.
hey bro i appreciate the replies and the video, I had one final question which was would temps be ok with replacing all the fans other than the CPU cooler. will temps be safe and good without replacing it or is it a must
Definitely not a must. Even an Omen in its stock configuration will still run completely safe.
Hey Dan! Thank you for great video!
Is power of extra fans provided by PWM? and how many hubs or splitters do you use for fans?
A single fan header can power up to about 3 fans, and yes; all fans are 4 pin. I would recommend using 2 splitters but it depends on your setup
@@DanKamYouKnow ahh awsome. Thank you for answering and trying to make better omen!!
Very nice video. But I have 1 question. Is there any difference in performance or temp when top vent fan use as exhaust or intake?
Thanks. Depends on the system but usually exhaust it the best route. Some people have reported the intake works better. Really easy to switch the orientation and test out both.
Hey man, these videos have been helping me since I recently got a 25L and I can only get 2 of these fans at the moment and I was wondering, which of the 2 fans you installed would you say are the most important for the best possible temps? Thanks for any help!
Bottom 120mm and top 120mm are the most important. Don’t worry about the front or the extra bottom fan, they don’t do much.
@@DanKamYouKnow Thanks man, this will help alot!
Great video! I got a 30L 2 weeks ago and love it but It’s getting loud. My temperatures look normal but even playing not graphically demanding games, the fans are at 3000rpm and loud. Should I replace or add fans to help this out? And which ones?
Thanks!! Congrats on the 30L! The stock fans can definitely be loud and they don’t have the greatest airflow either. I would recommend replacing the rear 92mm fan and the 80mm CPU cooler fan, and the front mount 120mm fan, which will GREATLY reduce noise levels ( except for GPU fan ). You could always add a 120mm fan to the top bracket and a 120mm at the bottom as well. I love Noctua Chromax fans, they push a ton of air and are SUPER silent. I have all the link to the fans I recommend in the description. Let me know if you have any other questions 👍🏻
Does this support a liquid cooling system? If so, what would you recommend? Also thank you for the awesome tutorial, very detailed and fully explained!
Thanks Jonathan! Yes, Omen 25L and 30L cases can fit a 120mm AIO only. I did a tutorial on how to do so:
czcams.com/video/sG9LLNnY3uY/video.html
Hi Dan. Great videos. Thank you! 25L has one exhaust fan. If adding one fan is it better to install it as an intake at the bottom or as additional exhaust at the top?
Bottom mount 120mm is the best option
@@DanKamYouKnow Thank you Dan! Very much appreciated.
Hey Dan, very informative video.
I want to make sure, but is the top fan insertion up to date? I am contemplating wether to install one.
Hey Mr. Doge. So this video is still pretty up to date but the best setup for Omens is a top mount 120mm exhaust / bottom mount 120mm intake / replace the rear 92mm. That fan configuration works best. Then if you want to really dive in, replace the CPU cooler
Thank you very much
Thanks for pointing me here. I had ordered the Noctua NF-A12x15 PWM chromax.black.swap, Premium Quiet Slim Fan, 4-Pin (120x15mm, Black) from the previous video, and it's still not shipped from last week. I see the 25mm version is also tough to get, so doing some research. See any issues with running a Y split off of a Y split? LOL for power options?
I would not recommend daisy chaining y-split cables. Noctua stock has been really bad since Christmas time! Stock for the majority of Noctua products is super low!!
will the top fan help with cpu heat? thanks in advance!
Yes, it will help get all the hot CPU air out of the case. It will definitely help.
Hey Dan. Nice videos.
Do you know like the PSU in the HP omens are good or not ?
Like I got the Cooler Master 750w 80 plus platinum ( non modular ), and the Cooler Master 800w 80 plus gold ( non modular ).
Would you know if they are bad, medium or good quality PSU's ?
If you know that is.
They are made by Cooler Master and will get the job done. Not top of the line but will be OK. Only downside of them is they are non modular.
Hey Dan, I managed to get a 25l on sale here in Canada mostly just because I needed a new PC and have had good experiences with HP in the past and I have a couple questions. Would I be ok with just adding a top fan and limiting cpu to 99%? I mostly just do light gaming anyway so im curious if that's enough to help.. Also would the top fan be intake or outtake it has a smaller 2060 Graphics card inside. idk what would you recommend I do? Thanks.
Your videos are fantastic btw.
Thanks Paul!
If you are just doing some light gaming, a top fan and the CPU at 100% may be OK for you. If you feel the temps are too high, try 5% minimum and 99% maximum and see what your results are. From my experience, the top fan works better as an exhaust fan ( blowing up and out ).
Congrats on your new PC!
@@DanKamYouKnow Awesome! thanks a lot man.
edit: oh yeah and the top fan would be blowing air out not in correct?
Correct, it’s worked better for me as an exhaust ( out-take ). It’s easy to swap between the 2 configurations so you could always see what your system likes best 👍🏻
Hey dan, Do you think replacing the CPU cooler is necessary or do you think I should upgrade it later on?
The CPU cooler replacement was probably the best thing I did for the Omen and solved any temperature problems I had. Whether it’s necessary or not, it really depends on the temps you are getting now. I was seeing very high temps, especially while rendering, and the cooler fixed all those temp issues. And for $65 for the cooler, it’s a fairly cheap upgrade that’ll solve all temp problems.
Going to purchase a 30L 3070/i7 10700KF build today at microcenter. Pretty excited and grateful I came across your CZcams Dan. Hoping I can get by with stock for at least a little bit then down the line replace the case and cooling options. What do you think? Sidenote that desk is beautiful is it custom built or where did you get it from? Appreciate it boss
You should definitely be able to use it in its stock configuration! I used mine for a couple months with no issues. I would definitely remove the bracket at the top of the case to increase air flow.
The desk is from IKEA! They are “Alex” drawers with a table top placed on top 😎
@@DanKamYouKnow Just got back and setting up now, will do! Thanks for the assistance. Looks like an IKEA trip will take place tomorrow, take it easy buddy
Have fun!!!!
I’ve been upgrading my Omen and your channel has been a great help! Do you know where I can get a top mount bracket that’s compatible with the Omen? Mine didn’t come with one. Thanks!
Thanks! I think you can only get it from HP. You might get lucky and find one on eBay but not sure if there’s anything else out there compatible
Hey Dan! Loving the content. I’m going to get the omen 30l ryzen 7 3070x as my first pc. But want good led fans. Any recommendations? And does omen use 3 pin fans or 4?
(That can plug in the motherboard)
You’ll need to use 4pin fans. RGB fans unfortunately do not work with Omen motherboards and require multiple adaptors to make it work. Too much hassle imo. The fans I use are listed in the description
Hey Dan, with that Noctua U9S cooler to put a second fan on the left hand side of it did it come with an extra fan clip or could in screw in?
The cooler comes with 2 clips to secure a 2nd fan! You will not need anything else, except the 2nd 92mm fan 😎. It’s linked in the description 👍🏻🤝
@@DanKamYouKnow alright cool thank you!! :)
hey bro thanks for the video i’m trying to buy my first pc. I had only one question, is managing and changing the cables difficult and do you think i would be able to get away with changing all the fans other than the front fan as that seems like hassle
Cable managing the Omen is not really easy because their is no where to really hide any cables. Adding fans is not a difficult task though. The front fan isn't super effective so you could leave it out.
great video as always, quick question. Do you keep your fans on turbo all the time? I still have the stock fans and I'm scared that it will damage them. I'm planning on attaching a top fan later on and using the first video you made on it.
Yes, I actually always keep my fans on turbo and it will not hurt the computer n any way! Whenever you do upgrade the top fan, I would follow this tutorial because it is updated from my original one. I time stamped the install for the top fan so just follow that and you should be good.
@@DanKamYouKnow thanks again!
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😎😎😎
@@DanKamYouKnow hey another quick question. On my omen 30L, there is no on-off switch on the power supply there is just the plug. How will I turn it off properly then? Was there an on/off switch on your 25L so you can properly turn it off? Thanks in advance
You’ll want to shut it down through your desktop -> Windows button at the bottom left -> Power -> Shut down
Hi Dan
Super video thanks for doing this. I am about to replace the rear fan and add a top exhaust and bottom input. My question is what direction is the rear fan blowing ?
I’m also putting in the CPU cooler that you have but it only comes with one fan… which side should it be on and which direction should it run ?
Thanks for any wisdom
Rear fan should be exhaust, so the air is blowing out of the case. As for the cooler, once installed, you want the cooler to be installed on the side of the cooler that is closest to the front, and it should be blowing through the cooler, towards the rear of the case.
@@DanKamYouKnow
All done… works like a charm… temps down 40F. Thanks for the wisdom.
Awesome!! You’re welcome 🤝
What about the Fan on the front side like 30L? Isn´t it possible to change the front plate to the one frome the 30L for better airflow at the downside of the case? Aside from that: Nice videos, thank you
It would take some serious modifying in order to add that front extended section in, and frankly not worth the trouble in my opinion. Even with that lower 120mm, the 30L’s don’t run that much cooler.
Hi Dan!! Big fan of your videos, helped me a lot. Could you tell me why my fan speeds aren’t changing in the Omen Desktop app? It’s just continuously on turbo ... thank you!
Thanks!!! What is the PC currently doing? The motherboard will vary fan speed depending on load so it may change a bit depending on the task being performed
@@DanKamYouKnow Thanks for getting back to me, no it’s my fault sorry the noise was coming from the fan I had in the pump! I didn’t realise that it was just that fan making it seem they were all on turbo. Thanks again!
NP! Glad you figured it out.
hey dan i have a question will these still work for a omen 40 L also love these videos great work
Yes. But you’ll have more fan placement options. But you can definitely y-split some new fans for more airflow.
Hey Dan, thank you for your previous comment
I’m not so sure which brush I can safely use when it comes to removing dust from my pc without electric static, is there any you use and if possible link it?
Thank you once again.
Depends on how much you want to spend. I would highly recommend an electronic duster like this:

If you want something on the cheaper side, you could do something like this:

Thank you so much Dan.
Great video again. I just installed two 120mm fans (bottom and top). I used Arctic ones due to the price but they seem quiet. The temps seem to be about 5-6C cooler already, which I am happy with. I may replace the rear exhaust and the CPU cooler fan. I am still a bit confused as to whether the CPU cooler fan is 80mm or 92mm. As the existing one is round I am not sure I am measuring it right but it looks like 92mm and I see other comments saying it might be 92mm rather than 80mm. Anyway, should all be running cooler by the time my new GPU arrives!
Some CPU cooler fans are 80mm and the bigger round ones are 92mm. I honestly wouldn’t recommend changing just the fan on the cooler, but replacing the whole cooler itself. Very minimal drop in temps with just the new CPU cooler fan. A CPU cooler will dramatically lower temps compared to the stock air cooler though.
@@DanKamYouKnow Great advice. I was wondering. I think I'll ear mark that as my next project then!

@DanKamYouKnow Excellent work on these tutorials. I bought a 25L with just the PSU and rear fan that I plan to add a motherboard, AMD Ryzen 7 3800X, 16 GB of RGB Ram, AMD Wraith Cooler, and a Powercolor RX6600 XT along with an EVGA 650W PSU upgrade due to the proprietary 4 pin CPU connector on the OEM Cooler Master unit. Upon buying this and finding out the hard way HP used a 4 pin CPU connector on the PSU was disappointing. I have other plans for it though as I have an old HP motherboard I can turn it into another budget PC that will work with it. What did you do with the Omen once you swapped everything into the new case? DId you reuse the Omen case and make another custom Omen 25L?
Thanks Mark!! Sounds like you got a project on your hands. Lots of proprietary items and limitations with the Omen unfortunately, but still can be made into great rig. I explain what I did in this video:
czcams.com/video/iHgLXKw3dSg/video.html
I basically swapped all Omen components ( for content purposes and tutorials ) into a different case and slowly started replacing those components as well. Once the time came, I had all the remaining Omen parts left over and I was able to reassemble! Now it stays connected to my living room TV and I use my main rig in my office for games / editing / etc 👍🏻
@@DanKamYouKnow sweet! Thank you for the link to the newer video. I'll definitely subscribe and check out more of your content as well. Take care. See you again soon.
Appreciate it! You’ll have to keep me updated on your progress. Have a good day my friend.
@@DanKamYouKnow i definitely will!
Hi Dan! I installed a liquid cooling to my Omen 25L after watching your video and received a significant drop on the CPU temperature. Then I tried your fan build to lower my GPU temperature and I noticed a siginificant speed drop after I connected two bottom fans to a single port using a Noctua Y-split cable. The same happens when I try to Y-slpit rear fan port to the side fan. I am wondering if my motherboard can't supply enough current to these fans. Could there be a way to add extra power supply to my Omen using sata ports or something similar? Thank you very much!
Fans hardly use any power and the board / PSU should be able to handle it with zero issues. Power usage will have zero effect on the speed of the machine. I had almost 8 fans going in my Omen
Got my 30L last month. Been slowly making upgrades from your videos. The PC cooler my be the next upgrade coming soon to my PC. I noticed the Y splitter link sends to you a Y 3pin / 4pin splitter. Did you mean to post that? I got that one, and the fan connected to the 3 pin spun crazy fast. I'm going to go with the Y 4pin / 4pin next purchase. Thanks for these vids!
Yes, one of the legs is supposed to use PWM and the other leg of the split just spins the fan at motherboard speed. What fan header are you using? Trying switching the legs in the cable
@@DanKamYouKnow Yes, I just switched the fan connectors on the Y. So the top case fan is the same as yours and back fan I still haven't changed. I had the back fan on the 3 pin, it went crazy fast (way to load, stock fan) so I just swapped the connectors and much better.
Hi Dan!
I got some questions about both the fans and storage upgrading in my omen 25L
I'll first begin with the fans questions
1- I will order 4 fans, top, bottom rear and front fan. Which one are the intake fans and which one are the exhaust fan.
2- I've heard that the bottom fan is better as an exhaust fan. (I've got my pc on my right next to the monitor)
3- should I change the stock cpu fan? non water cooling
4- I got a 500 ssd and I want to update it. I was thinking of buying an extra ssd. is there a slot for an extra NVMe SSD? or should I buy an HDD or a SATA SSD and which one is better and which one should I buy.
Thank you for all these helpful videos.
Hey! For your fans, you’ll want your bottom fan as an intake because heat rises ( and the Omen badly needs intake fans ). Top and rear are exhaust and the front will be blowing toward the back of the system so technically an intake.
Stock CPU fan is mediocre and a replacement might drop temps 1-2c, so not a huge change.
Your best bet is to add an additional SATA SSD to your machine
Thank you very much
Great video and very helpful, im just confused because your motherboard looks different from my stock Omen and i want to get a corsair 120mm fan to put on the top but i dont know anything about pcs and want to know where to hook it if the corsair fan is ok to install in it
A Corsair fan will work just fine. All fans have either a 3 pin or 4 pin connector, just make sure you get one with a 4 pin connector, or a fan labeled as PWM. RGB fans will not work with Omens though.
hi dan, just wondering what the temperature would drop down too after the new fans are put in as temp is a big issue on the omen 25l?
It really depends on the system and components, could be 2c, up to 10c drop. For the biggest change, I’d recommend changing the factory air cooler to something like the Noctua U9S. Then setting up an aggressive GPU fan curve in MSI Afterburner for higher GPU temps
