HP Scammed Us: HP Omen 45L is the Worst Pre-Built We've Reviewed

Episode Title: "HP Scammed Us: HP Omen 45L is the Worst Pre-Built We've Reviewed"
Content: Sponsor: Lian Li Lancool 217 on Amazon https://geni.us/0dwg The HP Omen 45L is the worst pre-built gaming PC we have ever benchmarked and reviewed. The system not only has unbelievably bad thermals for its "cryochamber" for the 50 seconds it actually runs at the Intel guidance, but it also kneecaps performance after 50 seconds to make the 285K be worse than the 265K in all-core workloads. Fixing this issue requires the user to acknowledge voiding their warranty, and that's not to mention the spyware and bloatware shoved into this expensive gaming computer.
