Throttling

[Anooj05]

My laptop starts throttling when it surpasses 75C......All games starts to drop FPS , this repeats periodically after reaching the 75C temp....I replaced thermal from the nearby HP service center but it still persist , I checked for updates its all updated ...... My specs are Ryzen 5 5600H and RX6500M

@Anooj05, Welcome to HP Support Community,

Thank you for posting your query; I’m here to help by guiding you through steps to resolve this issue

Experiencing throttling issues can be frustrating, especially when it affects gaming performance. Here are a few suggestions to mitigate the throttling issue on the Victus by HP 15.6 inch Gaming Laptop:

Cooling Optimization:

• Ensure Proper Ventilation: Make sure your laptop is placed on a hard, flat surface to allow for adequate airflow. Avoid using it on soft surfaces like beds or couches that can block vents.
• Use a Cooling Pad: Consider using an external cooling pad that can provide additional airflow and help keep temperatures down.

Performance Settings:

• Adjust Power Settings: In Windows, you can try setting your power plan to "Balanced" or "Power Saver" instead of "High Performance" to reduce heat generation.
• Enable a Frame Rate Cap: Some games allow you to set a maximum frame rate, which can help keep temperatures in check by preventing the GPU from working harder than necessary.

Software Management:

• Monitor Background Processes: Close any unnecessary applications running in the background that could be consuming CPU resources.
• Use Game Mode: Activate Windows Game Mode, which optimizes your system for gaming by managing system resources efficiently.

Hardware Considerations:

• Check Fans and Dust: Make sure the internal fans are working correctly and that dust is not obstructing the air vents, as this can contribute to overheating. Cleaning can be done carefully or by a professional if preferred.

Advanced Thermal Management:

• BIOS Update: Occasionally, manufacturers release BIOS updates to address thermal and performance issues. Check the HP website for any available BIOS updates for your model.
• Use Performance Tuning Software: Sometimes, adjusting parameters using software like AMD’s software suite (if compatible with your GPU) could allow for more granular control over power and thermal boundaries.

I hope this helps.
