Bigger is better with the HP Omen 45L
The particular HP Omen 45L that’s on sale through Best Buy features anIntel Core i7-12700CPU paired with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 CPU. Rounding out its spec sheet is a 1TB SSD and 16GB of DDR4 RAM. I wouldn’t worry too much about the 12th Gen Intel chip. Getting the best GPU you can afford is more important than getting the newest CPU. That’s especially the case given there’s only a modest bump up from Intel’s 12 Gen to its 13th Gen.

At first glance, the HP Omen 45L may appear similar to HP’s other Omen gaming desktops. And sure, it does have some similarities such as its clean design, build quality, and RGB lighting. But if you look a bit closer, you’ll see a unique Cryo Chamber on top of it. That chamber houses the PC’s all-in-one liquid CPU cooler. That setup allows the CPU of the Omen 45L to run 6 degrees Celsius (roughly 10 degrees Fahrenheit) cooler than the Omen 30L under similar conditions.
