HP Omen Desktop 880-120 - Upgrades (SLI, PSU)

SkyLego · ‎12-07-2017

Hello!

I'm interested in the new HP Omen Gaming PC 880-120.

It's unclear to me whether the motherboard supports SLI configuration (if I wanted to add a second GTX 1080 for instance). The chat agent could not help unfortunately.

Also, how upgradable are PSUs on Omen Desktop PCs?

Thank you!

@SkyLego, welcome to the forum.

While the motherboard has two PCI 3.0 x16 slots, I don't believe that it is SLI compatible. I don't see anything about it in the User Guide here. This would be a major option and I believe that it would be mentioned.

Thank you for your reply. That's what I was concerned about that and I tend to agree with you. SLI should be mentioned in the motherboard documentation if it was supported.

A little off topic but have you looked at the Omen 870-213W? It is a little cheaper and specs out pretty close. Could save you a little money so you could in turn drop an upgrade in it? Just a thought.
