CPU Upgrade

[21_Shah]

I was wondering If my am4 omen 30l will take the upgrade from a ryzen 5 3600 to a ryzen 7 5800x3d

@21_Shah,

Welcome to our HP community forum!

Unfortunately, you cannot.

These are the only processors compatible with your OMEN 30L as fitted with a Moria3 motherboard (SSID: 87C3) :

The Ryzen 9 3900 (12-Cores, 24-Threads, 3.10 GHz up to 4.30 GHz) being the best processor you could pick.

Kind Regards,

Hi,

I had the same question and found this post. Is there a reason why? The Moria3 Motherboard (SSID:87C3) is an AM4 socket board and all of the upgrade options lie within that parameter, yes. But the Ryzen 7 5800X3D is also AM4, so why is it not compatible. Is it a power issue? Can you not just upgrade the PSU? Can the motherboard not work with a higher watt PSU? I would like some more clarity onto why this is before I start looking to buy another motherboard.

@xpert2245,

Welcome to our HP community forum!

You said it: the primary reason why an AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D is not compatible with your Omen 30L is because its 105-watt TDP is far above your Moria3 TDP's specs: "TDP: up to 65 W".

Another reason may very well be HP's microcode which limits this motherboard to the four AM4 processors as listed.
