Upgrading the Omen 30L Hana Motherboard CPU

[DjSmith1068]

Can the Omen 30L handle the new AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D processor? If not will HP update the BIOS to support this chip. It is a massive update to performance, especially for Microsoft Flight Simulator.

@DjSmith1068,

Welcome to our HP User Forum!

I haven't seen any OMEN 30L (GT13-1174) gaming desktops / Hana motherboards (SSID: 8876) fitted with an AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D, such as here: https://www.userbenchmark.com/System/HP-OMEN-30L-Desktop-GT13-1xxx/233679.

Up to this point in time, the best you can do -also according to: https://support.hp.com/us-en/product/omen-30l-desktop-pc-gt13-1000a/2100404772/model/2100404775/docu..., is to fit your OMEN 30L Hana motherboard with the AMD Ryzen 9 5900X (Vermeer) 3.7 GHz base clock, up to 4.8 GHz max boost clock, 64 MB L3 cache, 12 cores.

The 5900X is only marginally less capable than the 5800X3D, btw: https://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/AMD-Ryzen-9-5900X-vs-AMD-Ryzen-7-5800X3D/4087vsm1817839.

And it is anyone's guess if HP will bother to upgrade the OMEN 30L BIOS to make the 5800X3D compatible.  Being a cynic, I would guess not -but for sure I'd love to be proven wrong on this.

Hope this was helpful.

Kind Regards,
