Name: HyperX OMEN 35L GT16-0066m Gaming PC (Ryzen 7, RTX 4060)
Brand: HyperX

Summary

This is the black, air-cooled HP OMEN 35L mid-tower GT16-0066m with a Ryzen 7 8700G, an RTX 4060 8GB and 16GB of DDR5, sold through the HyperX store as well as HP. Before you buy, check the checkout price for the exact SKU: HyperX had this machine listed at $1,969.99 and at $2,499.99 in November 2026, and the RTX 4060 keeps it a 1080p gaming box.

Strengths

Four DIMM slots and a second M.2 socket mean both memory and storage can be expanded later.
The Ryzen 7 8700G gives 8 cores and 16 threads, useful for gaming while other apps run.
The 600W Gold power supply leaves room for a stronger graphics card.
Owners of OMEN 35L machines with the same 8700G report the computers running without trouble for about a year.

Weaknesses

The RTX 4060 8GB is a 1080p card; a 1440p ultra test averaged about 45fps.
16GB of RAM is thin for modern games and heavy multitasking, and 32GB is the sensible upgrade.
Four DIMM slots invite a mistake: owners of the closely related GT16-0044 could not boot with four sticks and EXPO enabled.
HP lists only three 65W Ryzen 8000G processors as supported on this board.
No independent noise or wall-power measurement exists for this exact configuration.
No USB4, no Thunderbolt 4 and no front card reader.

Full research notes and sources

Which model this is

This page covers the older black OMEN 35L GT16-0066m with a Ryzen 7 8700G and an RTX 4060, part number B0FT7AA#ABA. It is not the 2026 HyperX OMEN 35L with a Ryzen 9 9950X3D and an RTX 5080, which ships with a 1000W modular power supply and a 240mm LCD liquid cooler.

Gaming performance

Tom’s Hardware tested a retail RTX 4060 in a different desktop and found it efficient and generally good for mainstream 1080p gaming, with DLSS useful in supported titles. Its 1440p ultra results averaged about 45fps, which shows how the 8GB frame buffer and modest GPU horsepower limit demanding settings at higher resolutions.

One OMEN 35L owner with a Ryzen 7 8700G reported frequent frame rate drops even after moving to 32GB of RAM and updating drivers. That post never established the cause, and it did not confirm the games were running on the discrete card. On this desktop, check that the monitor cable is in the RTX 4060 outputs, set the per-app graphics preference in Windows, then watch CPU and GPU load before blaming the hardware.

Memory, storage and upgrade limits

HP’s published material disagrees with itself on the memory in this machine. An earlier HP datasheet for B0FT7AA lists Kingston FURY 16GB DDR5-5200 XMP RGB, 2×8GB, while the current exact product page lists DDR5-6000 EXPO RGB, 2×8GB. Read the label on the stick in the box and the BIOS screen before paying extra for the faster number.

Four-stick memory is where owners run into trouble. A May 2025 owner of a GT16-0044 with the same Wolant 8CF4 board and BIOS F.10 replaced the stock 16GB with four 16GB Corsair 6400 sticks; enabling EXPO stopped the machine booting until the CMOS was reset, and the usable speed fell as low as 3600MT/s. A separate August 2025 owner of the same GT16-0044 family reported unstable, no-POST behaviour after filling all four sockets, and later moved back to two sticks.

Storage is straightforward. The board has room for a second PCIe NVMe M.2 drive, and the machine already includes a 1TB PCIe Gen4 drive. CPU upgrades are the constrained part: HP’s Wolant table lists only the 65W 8700G, 8600G and 8500G. A February 2026 owner who swapped an 8700F for a 9700X reported intermittent POST failures, while other users say newer chips work with updated BIOS versions. The AM5 socket alone is no proof that a Ryzen 9000 or X3D part is supported.

Cooling, noise and power

This machine uses a 120mm four-heatpipe RGB air cooler and a 600W 80 Plus Gold supply.

HP has published an advisory for the OMEN 35L GT16 AMD family: fans and lights can stay on in Modern Standby when memory is set to Turbo. The published fix is OMEN Gaming Hub → Overclocking → change memory Turbo to Default. HP also documents a recovery path for RGB control lost after an interrupted firmware update, and warns against flashing firmware for the wrong series.

Parts, running costs and warranty

There is no mandatory subscription for normal Windows games or local media, but peripherals, optional game services and extended HP Care Packs cost extra, and included McAfee and Microsoft trials expire. For electricity, a worked example rather than a measured figure: at an assumed 200W average wall draw, four hours of gaming a day and $0.20 per kWh, that is 292kWh and $58.40 a year; adding four hours a day at an assumed 60W brings 87.6kWh and $17.52, or $75.92 a year combined. At two hours of gaming a day under the same assumption, the figure is 146kWh and $29.20 a year. Your actual draw depends on the games, frame rate caps and lighting.

For a second drive, a WD_BLACK SN770 1TB PCIe4 NVMe, model WDBBDL0010BNC-WRSN, was listed at $99.99 at Best Buy but was sold out in the November retail listing, so treat it as an example rather than a confirmed spare. The preinstalled drive brand and model are not documented. Clean dust from the case and fans as needed after unplugging the machine; there are no filters, cartridges or other scheduled consumables. A display, keyboard, mouse and video cable are not documented as included in the carton.

The base warranty is one year of limited hardware coverage and one year of limited technical support for the initial software setup. HP sells optional two-year pickup-and-return and three-year accidental-damage Care Packs; the quoted 3–5 business day repair turnaround belongs to the optional two-year pack, not to the free warranty.

Is it worth it?

At $900 or less, a new, warranted RTX 4060 desktop in this chassis is a good buy. Between $901 and $1,099 it is reasonable if you want the OMEN case and HP support. Between $1,100 and $1,299 the value is weak unless you plan to add memory and a graphics card. Above $1,300 it is poor value.

Two Best Buy listings in November 2026 show what the same money buys elsewhere: a CyberPowerPC desktop with a Core Ultra 7 265F and RTX 5060 Ti 8GB at $1,439.99, and one with a Core Ultra 7 265F and RTX 5070 12GB at $1,649.99. Both carry more graphics headroom than the RTX 4060, though the chassis, cooling, networking and warranty all differ. At the $1,969.99 and $2,499.99 HyperX listings, gaming performance alone does not justify the purchase. If you already own one, it remains a usable 1080p machine, and a targeted memory or graphics upgrade is the sensible move.
