HP Omen Gaming Desktop
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Product Number: 399T3AA#ABA

I recently got this PC, and my CPU temps are extremely high, around 70 C idle, so I'm first wondering if I am capable of adding two intake fans to the front of this PC. Furthermore, which, if any, CPU coolers would anyone recommend to help with my high temperatures.

Running over 90°C is very normal for an HP Omen. Two fans are not enough, it uses 150W to 200W when gaming. Have you tried to touch to a 100W incandescent lamp (when it's on) ?


Please try a cooling pad, this may help a bit. Machine will automatically shut itself down when too hot.

What do you mean? Putting a laptop cooling pad under your desktop wasn't useful information? 

 

So one way I have seen people add additional cooling is to place a 120mm intake fan on the bottom of the case  next to the power supply (it has a mesh bottom). Should help pull cool air into the case.
