Welcome to HP Support Community.

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

Overheating on your Victus by HP 15.6-inch Gaming Laptop (15-fb0000) could be caused by several factors, including dust buildup, poor ventilation, or high CPU/GPU usage. Here are some steps to troubleshoot and fix the issue:

1. Check and Clean the Vents & Fans

• Make sure the cooling vents are not blocked by dust or placed on soft surfaces like a bed.
• Use compressed air to clean the vents and fan area.

2. Update BIOS and Drivers

• Go to HP Support and check for the latest BIOS update and drivers, especially for the chipset and graphics card.

3. Control CPU & GPU Temperatures

• Use HP Command Center to set the Performance Mode to Balanced or Quiet instead of Performance.
• Undervolt the CPU using tools like Ryzen Controller (since your model has an AMD processor).
• Reduce in-game graphics settings to lower the GPU workload.

4. Improve Airflow & Cooling

• Use a cooling pad to help with heat dissipation.
• Keep the laptop in a cool, well-ventilated area.

5. Check for Background Processes

• Open Task Manager (Ctrl + Shift + Esc) and check if any apps are consuming too much CPU or memory.
• Disable unnecessary startup apps under the Startup tab.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.
