CPU Upgrade

[notowena]

Based off of my PC I was thinking about getting a new CPU but don't know the whole compatibility thing and was wondering what CPU's I can use in my PC I was thinking about getting a series 9 like a 5950x or a 5900x or a 3950x but I'll be open to anything. I also wanted to know if my PC could even cool these because I saw that could be an issue. So, the two main questions are what's the best CPUs I can get right now and if my pc is going to be able to cool it down.

@notowena,

Your OMEN 30L Desktop PC GT13-1000a (207P7AV) as fitted with the Hana motherboard (SSID: 8876) with a Ryzen 5 5600G, which has a 65-watt TDP.

The best compatible processor for your PC is the Ryzen 9 5900X, which has a 105-watt TDP.

Currently, your CPU heatsink is only rated for 65-watt TDP processors.

In order to cool a 105-watt processor, you'll need the 105-watt rated liquid cooler with p/n: L98987-001. You can purchase this cooler very inexpensively via eBay: https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=L98987-001&_sacat=0&_from=R40&LH_PrefLoc=1&rt=nc&LH_BIN=1.

So in order to upgrade to a 5990X I need liquid cooling?

@notowena,

Not necessarily, but given the low pricing for this liquid cooling option, it would be an attractive option in my opinion.

Look, you can use non-HP CPU heatsinks, but thanks to HP's proprietary motherboard design, fitting a non-HP air cooled heatsink will likely take extra time as this YouTube video shows: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zV7rpnvAl08&ab_channel=Jeff.

Thanks it helped a lot but last thing. You said that I don't need the extra fan but its recommended that I add it?

[NonSequitur777]

@notowena,

Where did I say you don't need the extra fan?

On the contrary, the more fans the better the overall airflow to cool down your PC.

Sorry I meant the cooler you sent me a yt link too. That was my bad I don't know much about PCs sorry. Thanks for all the help though.

@notowena,

No worries, the YouTube link shows you exactly what you need to do to install the Noctua NH-U9S CPU cooler, and these steps likely apply to other CPU coolers too.

Are the water coolers as easy to install is there a video for it aswell? https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=L98987-001&_sacat=0&_from=R40&LH_PrefLoc=1&rt=nc&LH_BIN=1.
