@Euclid2,

Welcome to our HP Community forum!

Short answer: yes, your CPU temperature reaching above 90°C while playing Roblox -especially on max graphics- can be considered normal for many gaming laptops, including HP Victus models, particularly when using Ryzen processors.

Here’s a breakdown:

What’s "Normal"?

• Ryzen laptop CPUs (such as the Ryzen 5 5600H, 6800H, etc.) can safely run at high temperatures -up to 105°C is their official thermal limit (Tjmax).

• Gaming laptops often run 85–95°C under heavy load, especially with thin chassis and limited airflow.

• Since Roblox on high settings is surprisingly demanding, it's not unusual to hit those temps.

 

Is 90+°C Dangerous?

• Not immediately. The CPU is designed to throttle performance or shut down if it gets dangerously hot.

• However, prolonged operation near 100°C every day might reduce long-term hardware lifespan.

 

What Can You Do to Help Cool It?

1. Use your cooling pad effectively: make sure air can flow freely.

2. Raise the rear of the laptop slightly to improve airflow.

3. Clean out dust from air vents (even new laptops can collect dust quickly in humid environments).

4. Check background apps: close unneeded ones (including your browser) to reduce CPU load.

5. Consider using HP Command Center (or OMEN Gaming Hub) to set the thermal profile to “Performance” or “Cool” mode to balance power and temperature.

Conclusion:

You're not in any danger right now. Hitting 90–95°C occasionally is acceptable. If it consistently hits 100–105°C with performance drops or shutdowns, then it’s high time to investigate further (thermal paste, fans, warranty claim, etc.).

Otherwise, enjoy your laptop -just keep an eye on those temps occasionally.

Hey again! I tested my HP Victus using Cinebench and HWMonitor  and omen, and my Ryzen 5 8645HS CPU hit 100.3°C max even while using a cooling pad. I only bought this laptop on April 21 and it's just around 1 months old I saw some people say I should repaste the thermal paste, but I know that might void the warranty. Do you think I should contact HP support for this? Could this be a defective thermal paste or heatsink issue from the factory? Also, just in case — could this possibly be a sensor issue?

@Euclid2,

If your laptop was out of warranty, I would indeed suggest renewing your thermal paste, but since your HP Victus is under warranty, I would definitely contact HP Support first and show them this conversation thread.

loptop is 1 month old duhhh and waranty is still active

@Euclid2,

Well then, "duhhh", go get your warranty support.

If this is how HP handles overheating concerns on a new device, that’s concerning. Is there a real solution or just attitude?

@Euclid2,

As an unpaid volunteer in this community, I don't speak for HP -I am telling you what I would do in your case.

Look, your laptop is still under warranty, so pretty much before anything you want to do to it, reach out to HP's tech support first.
