Hp Victus CPU Temp Over Heating

[Luke1023]

My laptop's CPU (AMD Ryzen 5 7535HS)maximize to 95-100°c while gaming, even when i am doing a light task the temp is higher the usual. Maybe the cpu 's thermal paste need to reapply and the laptop need a deep cleaning?

Hi @Luke1023,

Welcome to the HP Support Community.
 

Thank you for posting your query. I will be glad to help you.

I can see from your screenshots that your Victus laptop’s CPU is hitting 95–100°C during gaming and even staying high during light tasks (OMEN Gaming Hub shows 92°C on Default mode). That’s definitely above the safe comfort zone for Ryzen 5 7535HS, which ideally should stay under 85°C under heavy load. Here’s what’s happening and what you can do:

Why This Happens

• Dust buildup inside the cooling system restricts airflow.
• Thermal paste degradation over time reduces heat transfer from the CPU to the heatsink.
• Aggressive performance mode (Default or Turbo) pushes voltage and clock speeds.
• Ambient temperature and blocked vents can worsen heat retention.

Recommended Steps to Lower CPU Temperature

1. Check Ventilation & Clean Airflow

• Place the laptop on a hard, flat surface.
• Ensure vents are not blocked.
• Use compressed air to blow dust from vents (short bursts, from outside only).
• HP guide: Reducing Heat Inside Your Laptop

2. Adjust Performance Settings

• In OMEN Gaming Hub, switch from Default to ECO or Quiet mode for light tasks.
• Enable Max Fan Speed during gaming for better cooling.
• Reduce CPU Boost in BIOS or OMEN Hub if available.

3. Update BIOS & Drivers

• HP often releases thermal management updates.
• Go to Official HP® Support Downloads → Enter your Victus model → Install the latest BIOS and chipset drivers.

4. Reapply Thermal Paste & Deep Cleaning

• If the laptop is over 1 year old or used heavily, the thermal paste may have dried.
• HP recommends professional service for this step because opening the laptop incorrectly can damage components.

5. Monitor Temps

• Use OMEN Gaming Hub or HWMonitor to track CPU/GPU temps.
• Safe gaming range: CPU < 90°C, GPU < 85°C.

⚠️ Important

If temps stay at 95–100°C for long periods, it can cause thermal throttling and shorten CPU lifespan. Don’t ignore this.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have an amazing day!
