The OMEN 45L Desktop makes waves with a revolutionary patented CPU cooling solution dubbed the OMEN Cryo Chamber1. This compartment is situated up to 43mm3 above the main tower interior and houses up to a 360mm AiO liquid cooler, which results in CPU temperatures 6-degreeC lower4 at full load over an identical model without this feature. It works by pulling in colder ambient air from outside the desktop to cool the radiator instead of utilizing air within the main interior actively heated by the CPU, GPU, and other components. For those who opt to go with a more traditional tower design, the recently released OMEN 40L Desktop has all the same configurability as its larger sibling, without the OMEN Cryo Chamber1 and one less 120mm fan, which results in a slightly smaller vertical footprint.
