How to Find Compatible CPUs for Your Omen 25L Upgrade

Select Language:

If you want to upgrade the CPU on your Omen 25L with an AMD processor, you’re in the right place. Upgrading your CPU can boost your gaming performance and overall system speed. Here’s a simple step-by-step guide to help you do it safely and correctly.

First, make sure you have the right tools ready. You’ll need a small Phillips head screwdriver, an anti-static wrist strap to avoid damaging components with static electricity, and the new AMD CPU compatible with your system.

Before starting, shut down your PC completely and unplug all cables. Press the power button for a few seconds to discharge any remaining power. Place the computer on a flat, clean surface.

Next, open the case by removing the screws on the back panel. Carefully slide off the side cover to access the internal components. Locate the existing CPU, which will be under the CPU cooler.

To remove the old CPU, first, disconnect the CPU cooler. Unscrew and carefully lift it away. Then, unlock the CPU socket latch, gently lift out the old processor.

Now, prepare your new AMD CPU. Handle it by the edges, avoiding touching the pins or contacts. Carefully align the new CPU with the socket — it should only fit in one way. Gently place it into the socket and lock the latch.

Replace the CPU cooler if you’re reusing it, or install a new cooling solution designed for your AMD processor. Make sure it’s seated properly and secured tightly.

After the installation, double-check that everything is connected correctly. Close the case, secure the side panel with screws, reconnect all cables, and power on your computer.

When you turn it on, enter the BIOS (usually by pressing “Delete” or “F2” right after turning on). Make sure the CPU is recognized correctly and update your BIOS if necessary for compatibility with the new processor.

Finally, boot into your operating system. You might need to reinstall or update your drivers to optimize performance. Enjoy the upgraded power and speed with your new AMD CPU on your Omen 25L!
