Inside HP's mission to craft the ultimate VALORANT battle station
The moment you boot up the
OMEN 35L VALORANT Limited Edition, you're not just starting a gaming PC, you're activating your sixth agent. From its custom startup animation on the LCD-capped liquid cooler to the VALORANT-themed wallpaper that greets you, every pixel screams one thing: this machine was built by players who know the difference between a Sheriff one-tap and a lucky spray.
"We wanted fans to recognize that we put great care into respecting the IP and that it came from people who actually play," explains Daniel Y., Industrial Designer at HP, who led the design efforts on this limited edition.
No Cap: Built Different
The OMEN 35L VALORANT Limited Edition isn't just another RGB-laden tower with some game logos slapped on. HP's design team ran dozens of concepts through their own version of The Range, each iteration attempting to capture VALORANT's clean aesthetic while maintaining the thermal performance needed to hold those crucial angles at 240+ FPS.
The execution required serious innovation, from figuring out printing techniques for the large chassis to ensuring the visual elements didn't interfere with the airflow patterns essential for those 13-round matches.
Built for When Every Millisecond is a Diff
Let's be real, in VALORANT, the difference between hitting that flick on the enemy Jett dashing through mid or landing it perfectly often comes down to your setup. You need hardware that supports your mechanics and elevates your game.
The Specs That Actually Matter:
- Intel Core i7-14700F processor—keep your frame times more consistent than a Sage wall on Haven
- NVIDIA GeForce RTX 50-series GPUs—massive headroom for VALORANT's optimization, ensuring you'll never drop frames when the entire enemy team decides to ult at once
- DDR5-6000 memory with RGB—match your favorite agent's color scheme
The Limited Edition features custom fan curves specifically tuned for those marathon sessions where you grind aim trainers, run deathmatches between matches, and review VODs until you perfect your plays.
Configure Your Perfect Loadout
Just like choosing your agent and loadout before a match, the OMEN 35L VALORANT Limited Edition lets you customize your specs through HP's exclusive Configure to Order (CTO) tool on HP.com.
Your Configuration Options:
- Graphics: Start with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 (8GB) for solid competitive performance, or max out with the RTX 5080 (16GB GDDR7) for absolute domination
- Processor: Intel Core i7-14700F (5.40GHz, 20 cores) delivers the consistent performance VALORANT demands
- Memory: Choose between 32GB (2x16GB) Kingston FURY DDR5-6000 XMP RGB for most players, or go all-in with 64GB (4x16GB) for content creators who stream and edit
- Storage: From a speedy 1TB PCIe NVMe SSD to dual 2TB drives (4TB total) for your entire game library, clips, and VODs
Whether you're grinding from Iron or maintaining your Radiant rank, you can spec your machine to match your ambitions, and your budget.
Hidden Details Only Real Ones Will Catch
Throughout the Limited Edition, you'll find subtle details that true VALORANT players will immediately recognize. These aren't random decorations, they're intentional nods that make you feel like the hardware gets it. The custom lighting themes in OMEN Gaming Hub can match your favorite map's vibe, while the animated LCD cap on the liquid cooler runs animations that'll make your duo jealous.
"We really thought about everything from the whole unboxing all the way to playing," Daniel notes. The collaboration pulled in teams from across HP, industrial design, packaging, UX, and software, all coordinating like a well-executed site take.
The Numbers That Make Radiants Sweat
Real talk on performance: With the RTX 5070 configuration, you're looking at 400+ FPS at 1080p with competitive settings, way above the 240 FPS sweet spot that most pros run. The thermal design keeps these frames locked in through those brutal overtime rounds where everyone's mental is being tested.
The tool-less upgrade path is clutch for when Riot inevitably drops a new agent that enhances the game, or when you decide you want even more glorious frames.
The Full Site Execute
What really sets this machine apart is the attention to the complete experience. Boot it up and you're greeted by custom VALORANT wallpaper. The LCD cooler cap animates with game-themed visuals. Even the lighting can be synced through OMEN Gaming Hub to match your agent select screen. It's like HP understands that your battlestation is part of your pre-game ritual, that zone you get into before you lock in Omen and lurk your way to victory.
It's Not Just About Frames
What makes the OMEN 35L Limited Edition hit different isn't just the specs or even the VALORANT drip. It's knowing that your hardware is your most reliable teammate. When you're queuing for that rank-up game, your system should feel like a trusted ally that's always got your back.
The Limited Edition acknowledges what every VALORANT player knows: consistency wins games. Whether you're entry fragging onto site or anchoring the flank, your hardware becomes your competitive edge.
The Bottom Frag to Top Frag Pipeline
The
OMEN 35L VALORANT Limited Edition represents something new in gaming hardware, manufacturers who actually understand the game they're building for. Yeah, it'll push the 240+ FPS that'll have you one-tapping heads like TenZ. But more importantly, it makes a statement louder than a Breach ult: you're not just playing VALORANT, you're committed to the grind.
In a game where advantages are measured in milliseconds and rounds are decided by who swings first, the OMEN 35L doesn't just meet the bar, it sets it. This Limited Edition PC creates hardware that earns its spot as your setup's entry fragger.
GG go next.
