HP Omen 45L: Mega-Tower Excellence

The all-new Omen 45L is HP’s 2022 flagship gaming desktop. This massive tower delivers an aftermarket look and feel, and the company even sells the case by itself should you want to craft your own PC. HP is, of course, all too happy to build it for you in AMD or (as we’re reviewing it) Intel flavors, with your choice of AMD or Nvidia GPUs. The tower comes standard with an innovative liquid-cooling chamber and RGB fans. Add top-notch quality, easy serviceability, room for six storage drives, and outstanding performance into the mix, and the Omen 45L is a natural Editors’ Choice winner for a high-end, full tower gaming desktop.

HP Omen 45L

PROS Sky-high performance potential. Innovative cooling. Highly expandable. All industry-standard parts. Customizable lighting. Case available separately.

CONS High-end models get pricey. Doesn’t offer DDR5 memory. No front USB-C port.

BOTTOM LINE Simply a big, cool beast, HP’s formidable Omen 45L gaming desktop offers outstanding performance and flexibility.

HIGH-TECH TO THE NINES

“Well-equipped” is the understatement of the year 2022 so far with the $5,000 Omen 45L tested here, custom-configured from HP.com with Intel’s top-of-the-line Core i9-12900K CPU, a 24GB Nvidia GeForce RTX 3090 graphics card, 64GB of DDR4 memory, and not one but two 2TB PCI Express 4.0 solid-state drives. It’s overkill for just about anything, especially gaming, but it shows how high this desktop can scale. Liquid CPU cooling and a one-year warranty are standard. Our model has Windows 11 Pro.
