HP OMEN 25L Gaming Desktop: Ryzen 5 5600X, RTX 3070, 8GB DDR4, 256GB SSD Expired

Decent machine, but loud AF when the CPU cooler fan kicks in. Bought two of the 30L version a year ago with the 11850K for $1700 a piece for home and office. Got almost $2000 for my old machines (mostly for their 580 and 1080 cards) and have played a lot of games, done a lot of CAD, and mined about 1.2 ETH since then.

This Ryzen will run much cooler and shouldn't be as loud as an Intel cpu

I'm not sure what the standard temp 11th gen Intel CPUs are running at when idle or under load, but I very much doubt it. The Ryzen 5600x runs notoriously hot, particularly in a relatively smaller case like this one with just the stock fans for cooling. That's not to discourage anyone from getting one as it's incredibly popular, and for the kind of sale prices it has been available for, it's often been a fantastic deal even throughout the last year and a half of PC building nightmares.

I actually have one as I have a gutted version of this exact computer. I didn't have any desktop and had been looking to build one for some time, so I actually received an old EVGA 1070 ti a cousin of mine no longer needed as a Christmas gift which has been perfectly sufficient for smooth gameplay at 1440p with high settings in most popular titles. The rest came from this exact PC someone had purchased just to get the GPU out of, along with a 1TB SSD we got them to agree to sub in to replace the standard 256GB, as the listing initially incorrectly stated it had a Ryzen 7 5800x. This all came on a B550 mobo with PCIe 4.0 space for $400. Granted the case itself is a bit small for future upgrades, but for what I paid to combine with a gifted card, I'm certainly not complaining considering it's still unlikely that I'll be upgrading that GPU anytime soon. I suppose we'll see what Prime Day and Black Friday deals look like.
