In the fast-paced world of PC gaming, British gamers know that having the right tools to optimise and personalise your experience can make all the difference. The OMEN Gaming Hub, HP’s all-in-one software, is designed to help you customise, monitor, and enhance your OMEN PC. Whether you’re looking to boost your computer’s performance, personalise your gaming setup with distinctive lighting, or keep an eye on system vitals during those marathon weekend gaming sessions, OMEN Gaming Hub brings everything together in one intuitive platform.
From casual players enjoying the latest indie titles to competitive gamers in the UK esports scene, PC enthusiasts, and new OMEN users, this powerful tool offers something for everyone. Are you looking to increase FPS for smoother gameplay? Want to sync RGB lighting across your devices for an immersive aesthetic? Need to prioritise network traffic to avoid lag during online matches? OMEN Gaming Hub provides all these features and more, giving you full control over your gaming rig.
What is OMEN Gaming Hub?
OMEN Gaming Hub is HP’s all-in-one software platform designed to help gamers take full control of their OMEN PCs and accessories. In simple terms, OMEN Gaming Hub serves two main purposes: gaming performance optimisation and customisation.
The Hub allows users to:
- Monitor OMEN PC specs like CPU and GPU usage
- Adjust cooling settings to prevent overheating
- Overclock hardware for extra power
- Control RGB lighting
- Map macro keys
- Prioritise network traffic
One of the biggest advantages of OMEN Gaming Hub is that it helps eliminate trial-and-error processes when tweaking your system. Instead of manually adjusting complex settings, the hub provides pre-configured performance modes that optimise your hardware for different gaming needs. Whether you’re pushing your PC to the limit with demanding AAA titles or just want a balanced setup for everyday use, the software adapts accordingly.
QUICK ANSWER:
OMEN Gaming Hub comes pre-installed on OMEN PCs because it's the official control center for optimizing performance, customizing RGB lighting, monitoring system health, and managing all aspects of your gaming experience in one centralized application.
Compatible Devices
OMEN Gaming Hub is designed primarily for OMEN PCs, including gaming desktops like the OMEN by HP 45L GT22-3003na Gaming PC and laptops. However, its functionality extends beyond just the computer. The software also integrates with OMEN gaming accessories such as keyboards, mice, and headsets, allowing users to sync RGB lighting effects across multiple devices for a cohesive and unique look. Additionally, certain features, like game management and network optimisation, can be useful for non-OMEN PCs as well, making it a versatile tool for gamers all around.
Key Features of OMEN Gaming Hub
OMEN customisation options help gamers get the most out of their setup. Whether you’re looking to boost performance, personalise your gaming environment, or make game management easier, this all-in-one software has you covered. Here’s a closer look at its standout features:
Performance Optimisation
A high-performance Gaming PC is essential for an immersive gaming experience, and OMEN Gaming Hub’s features ensure your system runs at peak efficiency:
- System vitals monitoring: Keep an eye on your video game CPU, GPU, and RAM usage in real-time to ensure your OMEN gaming PC is running smoothly. With detailed performance insights, you can identify potential bottlenecks and make adjustments before they impact gameplay.
- Overclocking: Need more power? The overclocking tool allows you to safely push your hardware beyond factory settings for enhanced performance. Whether you’re chasing higher frame rates or reducing load times, OMEN Gaming Hub provides a controlled environment for boosting your system’s capabilities.
- Network Booster: Nothing kills the gaming experience like lag. The Network Booster feature distributes gaming traffic, reducing latency and ensuring stable connectivity. It also allows you to split traffic between two networks (assigning gaming to one and background tasks to another) so nothing interferes with your playing experience.
PRO TIP:
Use the Performance Control dashboard to create different profiles for different games. For example, you might want maximum performance for competitive shooters but a balanced profile for single-player adventures to keep noise levels down.
Customisation Options
- RGB lighting control: Sync and personalise RGB lighting effects across OMEN PCs and accessories. Whether you prefer a static glow or dynamic colour shifts, you can create the perfect ambiance for your gaming station.
- Macro Key Mapping: Gain a competitive edge by assigning custom keybindings to OMEN keyboards and mice. Whether it’s executing complex combos in an instant or streamlining commands, this feature boosts efficiency and responsiveness.
- Fan control and cooling management: Keep your PC running at optimal temperatures with customisable cooling settings. Adjust fan speeds manually or use preset modes to balance noise levels and performance ensuring your system stays cool under pressure.
Game Enhancement and Integrations
Beyond performance and customisation, OMEN Gaming Hub also helps manage your gaming experience:
- Game Launcher: OMEN Gaming Hub acts as a centralised game library, allowing you to access and launch all your titles from one place, so no more switching between different platforms.
- Reward and community: Connect with other gamers and earn rewards for participating in challenges. Whether it’s in-game content or exclusive perks, OMEN Gaming Hub brings a social and interactive element to your gaming experience.
With these powerful features, OMEN Gaming Hub is more than just a performance tool; it’s an essential command centre for any serious gamer. Next, we’ll dive into how you can make the most of these features to refine your setup.

Maximise your Gaming Performance with OMEN Gaming Hub

Whether you’re facing a competitive game online or exploring an open-world adventure, what you want is a smooth and stable performance, and here’s what you can do to make the most out of your system.
Use the Network Booster
Lag can make the difference between victory and defeat, especially for UK gamers connecting to European servers. The Network Booster feature helps you maintain a stable and fast connection. Here’s how you can use it:
- Go to the Network Booster tab.
- Activate Dual Force to assign gaming traffic to the fastest network while you use a secondary connection for other tasks.
- Prioritise specific games or applications for low latency.
- Monitor in real-time your network usage to make sure you have the best performance.
Monitor System Vitals for Peak Performance
You can prevent things such as performance drops, overheating, and crashes by monitoring your OMEN gaming PC’s vitals. Here’s how you can do it:
- Go to the System Vitals section.
- Check CPU, GPU, and RAM usage to prevent overloading.
- Review the temperature levels and adjust the cooling settings if it’s too hot.
- Close unnecessary apps if you identify any bottlenecks.
TIP: Understanding Your System Vitals
- CPU temperature: Ideally between 70-80°C under load. If consistently above 85°C, increase cooling.
- GPU temperature: Should stay below 85°C for optimal performance and longevity.
- RAM usage: If consistently above 90%, consider closing background applications or upgrading your RAM.
- FPS: For competitive gaming, aim for at least 60 FPS, with 144+ FPS ideal for high-refresh-rate monitors.
Adjust Cooling Settings
Gaming for hours and hours can take a computer to its limits. To prevent overheating, you can adjust fan speeds and cooling profiles. You should do this if one of these things happen:
- If you notice high temperatures above 85°C while gaming
- When you’re playing a graphically demanding game
- When you plan to game for long hours
Here’s how you can do it:
- Go to Performance Control.
- Select Cooling Mode and choose between these options:
- Auto
- Performance
- Custom Settings
- You can increase the fan speed if your system is too hot, or decrease it if it’s being too noisy.
