01 Appearance

Shadow Genie 6 game desktop computer premium version caters to the most popular RGB+side view design style at present. The front panel and side panel of the host are made of glass. Users can not only enjoy the unique visual effect brought by mirror reflection, but also see various RGB elements inside the chassis, such as water-cooled head, memory, video card, and top light band. In addition, the OMEN logo and fan on the front panel also support RGB lighting. There are 6 light effects inside the chassis+on the front panel, all of which can be located in the OMEN Command Center Software Medium adjustment.

The size of the host is 165mm (width) × 433mm (height) × 422mm (depth), and the volume is about 30L. The internal space is very sufficient, which can not only accommodate the full-length RTX 2080 Ti graphics card, but also help heat dissipation inside the chassis.

The host interface is divided into two parts: the top of the chassis and the rear of the chassis.

The front I/O interface is located on the top of the chassis and has two USB 3.2 5Gb/s, two 3.5mm headset jacks and microphone jacks, and a power key. The rear I/O interface includes three 3.5mm audio interfaces, six USB Type-A (two USB 2.0, two USB 3.2 5Gb/s, and two USB 3.2 10Gb/s), one USB Type-C (USB 3.2 10Gb/s), and one RJ-45 network interface on the back of the motherboard. The rear of the graphics card includes three DP 1.4a, one HDMI 2.0b, and one Type-C, with an extremely rich number of interfaces.

If you purchase the Shadow Genie family bucket, such as the display, mouse, keyboard and other peripherals, the system will automatically add them to the list on the left side of OMEN Command Center, and you can adjust the light effect or other settings in the corresponding interface. For example, we have built the Shadow Genie 6 game console family bucket, including the display, mouse, and keyboard.

The host supports tool free one button unpacking

There is a button at the end of the host that supports tool free one button unpacking. After pressing the button, the side panel can be taken out, which is convenient for daily maintenance or later upgrade of players.

In terms of internal structure, the Shadow Genie 6 game console adopts the common scheme of motherboard side placement and power down placement. The storage area is located behind the front panel of the chassis. In addition to a standard 3.5-inch HDD, a 3.5-inch hard disk bit is reserved (SSD also supports expansion). There is a 12cm inlet fan under the front panel, a 9cm outlet fan at the rear of the chassis, and a 12cm cold exhaust fan at the top of the chassis.

02 Performance

　　 Test environment:
System: Windows 10 Home China 10.0.18363.959
　　BIOS：F.03
　　 Graphics card driver ：451.67
　　OMEN Command Center：v10.2.14.0

The Shadow Genie 6 game console we received is the premium version (e-commerce is the flagship version), which is the top configuration version of the Shadow Genie 6 game console. It is equipped with Intel Core i9-10900K processor, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti graphics card, 64GB DDR4 3200MHz (XMP) memory, 1TB PCIe NVMe SSD+2TB HDD, and Cool Cool Premium 120 all-in-one water-cooling.

From the perspective of hardware specifications, the Core i9-10900K+RTX 2080 Ti is almost the most powerful configuration in the current game console. The four 16GB DDR4 memories are fully inserted, and the memory, SSD and water cooling are all first-line brand products, with excellent quality. Let's test the hardware briefly.

　　 • Processor

Core i9-10900K detection information

Core i9-10900K belongs to the tenth generation Intel Core processor family, with 10 cores and 20 threads, basic frequency 3.7GHz, single core maximum 5.3GHz, 20MB three-level cache, integrated UHD 630 core display, TDP 125W.

We tested the processor with Cinebench R15 and R20. In Cinebench R15, the core i9-10900K has a single/multi-core score of 212/2620cb, and the Cinebench R20 has a score of 510/6157cb. For both R15 and R20, the Core i9-10900K has a high single/multi-core score, almost representing the highest level of mainstream desktop processors at present.

At the same time, we also observed the frequency of the processor when running the Cinebench R15/R20 multi-core test. The Core i9-10900K can stabilize the frequency of 49 times in the whole core, and the frequency can stabilize 4.88GHz, which is not easy for a processor with 10 cores and 20 threads.

Overfrequency interface

In addition, it is worth mentioning that the Shadow Elf 6 game console can also overclock the processor. There are two types of overclocking: intelligent and customized. The intelligent mode will automatically detect the maximum frequency that the processor can reach, but the detection time is long and requires multiple restarts. The user-defined mode is relatively simple. You only need to manually adjust the frequency multiplication, voltage and other parameters, but the player needs to have a certain foundation.

　　 • Graphics card

RTX 2080 Ti detection information

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti graphics card is based on a 12nm TU102 core, with a core frequency of 1350MHz and a Boost frequency of 1545MHz. It has 4352 CUDA units, 88 gratings/272 textures respectively, and is equipped with 11GB GDDR6 video memory, with a video memory frequency of 1750MHz, a bit width of 352bit, and a bandwidth of 616GB/s. It supports real-time optical line tracking and DLSS 2.0 technology.

Through Tomb Raider: Shadow《 Assassin's Creed : Odyssey, Isle of Sorrow: New Dawn, Metro: Escape four games to test the performance of the graphics card, all of which run at 2K resolution and high image quality.

The average frames of the four games are more than 80, far exceeding the smooth horizontal line of 60 frames. "Tomb Raider: Shadow", "Island Frightening: New Dawn" are all over 110 frames, and the game is extremely smooth. Even the most hardware hungry "Metro: Escape" can achieve 85 frames. Don't forget that the performance of RTX 2080 Ti is satisfactory under the more stringent 2K resolution of the test environment.

　　 • Storage

The host is equipped with four 16GB DDR4 memories, which form a total of 64GB. The default frequency is 2933MHz, which can be overclocked to 3200MHz. The 64GB memory capacity does not need to be upgraded. The hard disk is equipped with a 1TB PCIe NVMe SSD and a 2TB 7200rpm HDD. The SSD is the Western Data SN730, which uses PCIe 3.0 × 4 channels. The sequential read and write speed is more than 3000MB/s.

In addition to the standard M.2 SSD and 3.5-inch HDD, the Shadow Genie 6 game console also reserves an M.2 slot and a 3.5-inch hard disk bit to further meet the expansion requirements.

03 Evaluation summary

In general, HP OMEN Shadow Genie 6 game console premium version has two advantages: one is extremely strong performance, and the other is cool RGB light effect.

The combination of 10 core Core i9 processor, RTX 2080 Ti optical tracking card, 64GB memory full of memory slots and 1TB PCIe NVMe SSD+2TB HDD is the strongest game console in all aspects.

The glass front panel and side panel of the chassis and up to 6 adjustable RGB elements together create a more cool appearance of the host, while the rich light effect adjustment options in the built-in OMEN Command Center greatly improve the playability of the host.
