Gamers know that the right computer can make all the difference, whether it’s having the best setup for competitions or simply making sure you’re able to enjoy the latest games. If you’re looking into the HP OMEN family of powerful gaming desktops and laptops for your next machine, the choices can seem overwhelming at first. However, with this HP OMEN review guide, we’re certain you’ll find the gaming computer that’s right for you.

Let’s jump back to 2007. 2007 was a legendary year in gaming. That’s the year the very first Assassin’s Creed, Mass Effect, Rock Band, Portal, BioShock, and Uncharted games were released. The juggernaut was also released in 2007: Halo 3. Halo 3 was accompanied by such a large amount of hype and fanfare, that many critics agree September 25, 2007 marked the moment that gaming went mainstream. Another influential title hit shelves that year: Crysis. Crysis is a first-person shooter where the player controls a nanosuit-wearing soldier who’s running and gunning through a mysterious island. Most gamers can’t recall the exact story, but they certainly remember the graphics.

Keeping your PC’s most vital components at their ideal operating temperatures is one of the best ways to improve stability and functionality. Thermal regulation prevents unnecessary strain during day-to-day tasks and increases your computer’s lifespan by cutting back on the accumulation of wear over time. Traditional designs and most out-of-the-box configurations rely on air cooling systems that use a series of fans and ventilation ports to prevent the accumulation of hot air.

One of the unique features of our world-class HP OMEN gaming PCs and gaming accessories, such as the HP OMEN Sequencer mechanical keyboard, is that you can customize the gaming keyboard or exterior case lighting, without complicated configuration or replacing any critical hardware components. This can be achieved with a just few clicks using the HP OMEN Command Center, an included configuration software, by following the steps in the below video tutorial.

Whether you’re trying to listen to a new album or hear your coworkers during a conference call, there are few issues more frustrating than when your PC’s audio stops working. The good thing about a problem like this is that there are a number of ways to find a solution. You don’t have to be left in silence for too long. In this guide, we explore the different answers to the question: “Why is my sound not working?”

We’d like to introduce the new HP OMEN Obelisk desktop gaming computer: an easy-to-customize and powerful new gaming computer with top-notch specs and high-end components. This desktop was designed from the ground up to be do-it-yourself (DIY) friendly and provide you with an industry-standard upgrade path. The HP OMEN Obelisk gaming desktop features an optional tempered glass panel with interior RGB lighting that you can customize to your favorite color scheme.

If you're using a computer right now, chances are you'll hear the gentle hum of a small fan if you listen closely. And if you have a hefty gaming computer with loads of processing power, the sound of a fan may be even louder. Fans have long done a decent job of preventing electronics from overheating. But for people with high-end hardware and a desire for the fastest possible processing, a fan might not provide the best solution.

Serious gamers have preferences that are as unique as they are. That’s why, for some, only a custom-built gaming desktop or laptop computer will do when it comes to maximizing performance, style, and personalized details. Fortunately, you don’t have to be a tech genius or an IT pro to make it happen. Here are the basics of what you need to know so you can build your own gaming computer with less stress and more power than a pre-assembled stock model.
