I want to put another CPU in my Omen L25, is it possible ?

[Alphinaud]

Hello guys,
so recently I bought HP Omen L25, but I had to change the CPU inside with another one.
So my question is, I see that the motherboard model is L96321-00, on the site says that it supports only Ryzen 3700X, can I go for Ryzen 5 1600 AF (Zen+) ? Is it possible ?
Best Regards and thanks in advance.

So why do you want to install this processor?
But indeed this model is not indicated compatible

I sold Ryzen 3700x and I wanted to put a Ryzen 5 1600 AF, no particular reason.  Anyway, thanks.

Hey Alphinaud,

I'm going to do the same thing (replace the CPU with Ryzen 5 1600 AF). Did it work for you?

[Alphinaud]

Nope it didnt worked at all. I sold that bullsh*t configuration and built a normal working PC. New motherboard and new case.

Thanks for letting me know. I'm surprised, someone bought the configuration off of you even though it didn't work?
