trying to upgrade my OMEN 30L from Ryzen 5600x to 5950X

[leof80]

Hi, I tried to upgrade my new Omen 30L GT13-1380Z from existing 5600x to 5950X CPU, after BIO post, immediately received Fan Error 90B, the fan is spinning, but will shutdown by itself after few minutes.  if i switched back to the 5600X cpu, do not see the Fan error.  any idea?

@leof80 -- there is another post on this discussion forum about the same symptom: system fan (90B) error and windows 11 unable to start. - HP Support Community - 8231339

Hmm. 

Also, see: HP PCs - 900, 909, 90A, 90B, 90F Error Displays on a Black Screen | HP® Customer Support

Hi,

My guess would be, by looking at CPU upgrade options (Link) at the HP Store, the MB supports up to a 5900x.

Could be a cooling issue and/or you need a BIOS update which supports a 5950x.

there is this (check which version you have😞

thanks for replying.  i did go through the same BIO update last night and the issue still persisted.  i guess the MB simply can't support 5950x even though 5900x is supported :(.   i am hopeful that HP will release another BIOS update to support it.

Hi,

The 5950 can create heat.

I have a 3900x with a Kraken 280mm radiator (two 140mm fans) and two chassis fans in a Fractal Meshify 2 Compact which has very good airflow. I see low 80c temps when running CPU stress tests.

An Nvidia 2080 runs in the low 70c area when stress testing the graphics card

 I don't know if the 30L case can handle a 5950 and a high TDP graphics card.

Hello
this is quite curious, because you have a message for the fan, and not the processor
In general if it is the processor, there is a series of beeps or processor error message!

Better not to insist, but hard to tell you, if an upcoming update will fix this
Instead, use a mentioned compatible processor

https://www.amd.com/fr/products/cpu/amd-ryzen-9-5950x

https://www.amd.com/fr/products/cpu/amd-ryzen-9-5900x

They are pretty close
or depending on your configuration, change something else
