Issue: System shows CPU wattage fixed at 55-watt, even though specs suggest it can go up to 95-watt

Some Technical Context:

Your Victus by HP 16.1 inch Gaming Laptop PC 16-s0000 likely has the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 7840HS, which features a configurable TDP (Thermal Design Power) in the 35–45-watt range -not 95-watt. That higher wattage you're seeing in System Information (95-watt) likely refers to combined CPU + GPU boost power, not just the CPU.

On the GPU side, depending on your exact configuration, your laptop may include an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Mobile, which itself supports 35–115-watt dynamic TGP (Total Graphics Power) -but only if paired with the proper cooling and power delivery setup.

HP offers:

• 60-watt or 80-watt fan+heatsink kits (CPU + GPU),

• And corresponding motherboard configurations based on your chosen GPU model (4060 vs 4050, etc.).

What You Can Do:

1. Check Your Exact Configuration:

Run HP Support Assistant or HP Hardware Diagnostics (UEFI) to identify:

• Your GPU model,

• Fan/heatsink wattage profile,

• Motherboard ID (this determines power delivery limits).

2. Why You See 55-watt (CPU):

• If your laptop shipped with a 60-watt thermal solution, it’s likely that HP has locked the CPU+GPU shared wattage to stay within thermal limits.

• The CPU may be power-throttled in favor of GPU performance -especially during gaming workloads.

 

3. Possible Tweaks:

• Check in HP Command Center (or OMEN Gaming Hub, if available) for thermal/performance profiles like "Performance" or "Cool". These can affect power behavior.

• Make sure your BIOS and firmware are fully up-to-date from HP Support.

Note:

HP does not officially support user modification of CPU/GPU power limits, and doing so (via third-party tools such as Ryzen Controller or NVIDIA Inspector) can void warranty or trigger thermal shutdowns if your model lacks the 80-watt cooling solution.

---

Conclusion:

Your system is likely behaving as designed based on its cooling configuration and motherboard TDP limits. If you're seeing a fixed 55-watt CPU TDP, that’s probably due to thermal balancing with your GPU under the installed cooling solution (likely the 60-watt version). For more aggressive performance, you'd need the higher-tier configuration with an 80-watt thermal solution, which is not end-user upgradable.
