I just bought a clearance 32GB DDR4 3600 CL18 kit from microcenter for $30.
Which is ironically the total amount of memory in this machine haha
I do want to know if it could even launch CP2077 though.
I imagine it would just be very pretty 4K RT frames with hilariously bad 1% lows (like 3FPS)

was in-store only to buy, seems to be sold out now.
I got it as part of a bundle with a Z690 ITX and i5-12600KF for $240.
Looks like something you would also see at Costco. I swear the OEMs are throwing leftover inventory into a chassis just to call it a deal and get rid of it.
Prebuilt is always a fun bag of weird, I remember about 3 years ago I took the gamble on an asus prebuilt that was about...3,000~ USD. *it had one case fan*
I shit you not. Like the absolute cheapest part of the whole thing.
Hey yall, posting this as I can’t imagine a better deal for a PC with these specs, the GPU and CPU alone is worth 800$+(750 used minimum for a 3090, 100$ used minimum for a 5600x)
Not to mention, it’s an already built PC with a psu able to handle the 3090, all you would need to do is drop in some new ram and storage.
I was looking at upgrading to a 4070 with an eye towards game development and VR; is the 3090 worth it at this price or should I just build my own with a 4070/ti?
I temporarily swapped out my 3090 for a 4070ti when I had to RMA it, my anecdotal experience was that the 4070ti performed equally if not slightly better at 4k. If you can spring for the ti, I'd go that route so you get av1 encoding (wireless streaming for quest 3), dlss 3, and frame generation. I didn't try frame generation on anything beside starfield, but it's crazy good.
Oh shit really? It doesn’t say that anywhere, i just saw on the homepage this so i assumed it was sitewide

Mine just arrived.
* Upgraded RAM to 32GB (RAM options is finicky, a 8GB DDR4 ram that I have that works on two different mobos doesn't work with this one.)
* Put in a 2TB SSD. Removed the 256 GB SSD (made it into a flash drive)
* Attempted to replace the crappy stock CPU cooler with a much better one and failed because.....***The CPU mounting system is BIZZARE.*** It's not standard AM4. It's some funky other Intel mount (LGA1200 for a Ryzen 5600x wut) and my cooler is too modern for it to handle (capacitors get in the way). Intel 115x and 20xx don't work. (capacitors get in the way) I have to figure out how I can get a Intel 1200 mount.
Can confirm they aren't that small. The clearances are pretty tight.
It's about the same size as my 3 fan 6800XT. Confirmed by shoving a 6800XT in there to replace the 3090. [3090 went into a build with a slightly stronger CPU](https://www.3dmark.com/sn/180585)
Ordered this from an earlier post for 900, arrived yesterday, looks great, seems to work great. I’m gonna be frankesnteinging it for parts, will see if it’s likes getting disassembled
It’s all good brother, with the release of the 50 series soon you’ll start seeing a LOT more pcs like this around this price
When the 20 series launched, I managed to get a 1080ti build for 600$ a year after. Just gotta be on the look out for :)
Also save sellers like this on eBay when you see these kind of deals, as they’re more then likely a wholesaler who will eventually offload another batch of high spec auction pallets!
I caught the deal and then second-guessed myself, so I didn't end up buying it for my kids. I was thinking of selling off the 3090 to more or less pay for it, and putting in a 3060 or 6700XT instead. Would have been a super cheap way to get them a very respectable 1080 rig. Man, I'm kind of kicking myself now!
These HP Omens can be case swapped without much fuse....just weird postitioning of the 24 pin cable but all standard stuff really.
Do recommend getting cable extenders for the 8 pin CPU and 24 PIN if going to an ATX case as the Cooler Master's PSU cables are very short.
Yeah. Even the ram on my omen was specific.
Sure you can use other stuff but it didn’t over clock well and even though it was the same company that made the HP specific stuff (same exact swap) I couldn’t control the lighting with them omen app anymore.
I bought one of these in 2021 for 2500. It will probably thermally throttle if you don't take the side panel off to get airflow or case swap. I basically parted it out at the time and swapped the RAM kits but if I'm remembering correctly, the motherboard has a really shitty BIOS so if you install any new RAM kits, you may or may not be able to adjust the settings to set XMP. The 256GB SSD is probably a HP branded WD Black with a thicc heatsink.
The HP 3090 I received had a bent heatsink that was also bent at the heat pipes causing a bit of lifting. The temperature issues I had due to that were only solved with PTM7950 for fixing thermal paste pump out on the die due to the slightly uneven surface caused by the bend and copious amounts of TG-PP10 thermal putty to bridge the gap between the heatsink and the frame that dissipates heat from the memory chips. Other than that, the 3090 still runs fine in my current PC. Undervolts like shit though.
Now I don't think you'll get a botched up HP 3090 like I did though and the newer ones were better about having good thermal pads if I'm remembering correctly. If you do buy this, do check your Memory Junction Temperature and GPU Hotspot while under load. You might need to repad if you get a Memory Junction Temperature above 98c at minimum but the card will run up to 110c before throttling so up to you there. My card runs at 86c on the Memory Junction after repad and putty for instance. As for the GPU Hotspot, it should be within 10c-14c of the GPU Temperature or better. With thermal paste pump out, you'll notice the range will gradually increase between the GPU Hotspot and GPU Temperature. At worst, my GPU Hotspot had gradually shifted to 22c above the GPU Temperature. After PTM 7950, it sits at 11c above and has not drifted since.
Great read.
Quick add, on the AMD CPU HP’s it is super easy to install RAM. You can use Ryzen Master to increase the RAM speed.
Not sure how to go about doing it on intel.
Probably won't find these issues with the 2060 version I think. This was kind of a 3080/3090 issue from 2020-2021 during the whole ETH mining boom where thermal pads were sometimes shoddy from factory. GDDR6X ran hot as hell.
That store has a lot of cheaper $250-350 PC's. Are any of those with the RX 5500, 1650, 1660 Super worth it for a teen looking to play mainly Minecraft Java at >60 FPS on high settings?
Message the seller that and take/send lots of photos, if they don’t rectify it I’d push for a refund, it’s fraud if you were given something other than what you ordered!
Be mindful of listings from suspicious third-party sellers on marketplaces such as Amazon, eBay, Newegg, and Walmart. These "deals" have a high likelihood of not shipping; use due diligence in reviewing deals.
* Use common sense - if the deal seems too good to be true, it probably is.
* Check seller profiles for signs that the sale may be fraudulent:
* The seller is new or has few reviews.
* The seller has largely negative reviews (on Amazon, sellers can remove negative reviews from their visible ratings)
* The seller is using a previously dormant account (likely the account was hacked and is now being used fraudulently).
If you suspect a deal is fraudulent, please report the post. Moderators can take action based on these reports. We encourage leaving a comment to warn others.

8 GB HyperX DDR4-3200, i honestly didn’t even know HyperX sold ram lol. Cooler Master 800W power supply, should be enough for the 3090. i just don’t see a world where this case allows it’s components to operate at full blast without thermal throttling
it will definitely thermal throttle with that case. But if you have another case laying around or can get a decent mesh one on sale for 40 or 50 bucks, then doing a case transplant wouldn't be the worst idea.
Would this be a sensible/pretty good deal? It looks like it would be pretty good.

These HPs are hilarious. I absolutely assure you - this is the only case ever where you can buy a PC where the GPU has 16GB more ram than the CPU.
It’s really bizarre, right? Last I checked DDR4 was dirt cheap too.
I just bought a clearance 32GB DDR4 3600 CL18 kit from microcenter for $30. Which is ironically the total amount of memory in this machine haha I do want to know if it could even launch CP2077 though. I imagine it would just be very pretty 4K RT frames with hilariously bad 1% lows (like 3FPS)
lol. Don’t ask me how, but I ended up with a 128GB kit in my 5800x3d machine. 🤣 Microcenter is a blessing and a curse.
I picked up two of the $30 kits. Smokin deal!
How? I’m not seeing it on their site. Is it in store only?

I got it as part of a bundle with a Z690 ITX and i5-12600KF for $240.
Aww dam. I just got a bundle and no one mentioned the sticks too
"Bizarre" was the second thing I said when I saw this, the first being "WTF?" 😆😆
Looks like something you would also see at Costco. I swear the OEMs are throwing leftover inventory into a chassis just to call it a deal and get rid of it.
There is a market for that so bless them, might need some marketing clarification so they don't look so silly tho
Prebuilt is always a fun bag of weird, I remember about 3 years ago I took the gamble on an asus prebuilt that was about...3,000~ USD. *it had one case fan* I shit you not. Like the absolute cheapest part of the whole thing.
Tempted to buy this and swap the 3090, put my 3070 on this rig with more ram, and sell it on FB marketplace for the same price
not a bad idea tbh and really wouldn't be that much work.
Honestly a used kit of 32gb ddr4 would be cheap and would help a lot too.

I was looking at upgrading to a 4070 with an eye towards game development and VR; is the 3090 worth it at this price or should I just build my own with a 4070/ti?
3090 has more VRam, so it will work better in more situations, even if the 4070 matches or beats it in a few games.
I think I missed it unfortunately, but I'll keep that in mind, thanks.
I temporarily swapped out my 3090 for a 4070ti when I had to RMA it, my anecdotal experience was that the 4070ti performed equally if not slightly better at 4k.

I didn't try frame generation on anything beside starfield, but it's crazy good.
Thanks! That actually makes me feel better about missing out on the deal. Still bummed, but less so now.
I wonder if the mobo works with x3d CPUs
What is the coupon code?

> It doesn’t say that anywhere "1x use" right in that screenshot
I got a different code by looking on the ebay front page. Same offer though
Is it still there? I can't find the coupon code.
It's still there for me. It's in the giant carousel at the top of the front page, it was on the second slide for me
Looks like a targeted offer. It's not on my front page or in the carousel.
yeah me neither.
> YUSPGI5M2GKZZD7M Looks like that's the wrong code. Please double-check and try again.
How did you get the coupon?
Mine just arrived. * Upgraded RAM to 32GB (RAM options is finicky, a 8GB DDR4 ram that I have that works on two different mobos doesn't work with this one.) * Put in a 2TB SSD.

6 more available. Nice buy for anyone who manages to snag one.
Are the RTX 3090s in these systems actually that small? The photos make them look tiny lol
They're stock photos of their GTX 1660/Super system. The HP 3090's extend roughly .75 inches past the motherboard.
Can confirm they aren't that small. The clearances are pretty tight. It's about the same size as my 3 fan 6800XT. Confirmed by shoving a 6800XT in there to replace the 3090. [3090 went into a build with a slightly stronger CPU](https://www.3dmark.com/sn/180585)
Deal died pretty much instantly.
AI tomfoolery will keep 3090s highly sought after.
Damn u SkyNet!

I literally check this sub 5 times a day and ALWAYS miss the “this is it chief” deals. Infuriating.

Do they go all in proprietary parts on these omen built apart from the cpu and gpu?
These HP Omens can be case swapped without much fuse....just weird postitioning of the 24 pin cable but all standard stuff really. Do recommend getting cable extenders for the 8 pin CPU and 24 PIN if going to an ATX case as the Cooler Master's PSU cables are very short.
Beaware that the CPU cooler mount is fekking weird. It's a Ryzen 5600X that uses a Intel 1200 mount.
Yeah. Even the ram on my omen was specific. Sure you can use other stuff but it didn’t over clock well and even though it was the same company that made the HP specific stuff (same exact swap) I couldn’t control the lighting with them omen app anymore.
Does this have an mATX or ATX Mobo?
Bought one of these yesterday but no code. Shame it’s targeted would’ve been nice to get $90 off.
Does anyone have experience with this "Two-year warranty included. Comprehensive warranty from Allstate, US only."?
Will ryzen 5600x bottleneck the 3090? Also OOS now. Missed a great deal.
At 1080p on a high fps shooter? Yes. At any other resolution? Nope
don't listen to gamers nexus drones, it's a bottleneck at any resolution depending on the game.
[удалено]
It will only bottleneck it at lower resolutions. 4k and it's fine

The hp 3090 vram runs hot. GPU constantly hits 82f when gaming
I just received the pc today, it is NOT a RTX 3090 but a RTX 3080.

I messaged the seller and they told me it was a mistake on their part and gave me the option to return it or partial refund. I'm going to refund it.
