HP Victus 15.6 has GPU fan or not?

[Huglya]

Hello! I have HP Victus 15.6 with Ryzen 7 5800H and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Ti Laptop GPU.

I`ve seen a video where they disassembled the laptop. It had CPU fan and GPU fan. But mine seems to have only one fan where CPU is. Because only this one works and hot air is blown out only from this side (left side if I look at the screen). So right side is always a little hot.

Speedfan app recognizes only 1 CPU fan too.

So is it normal? Or my laptop should have 2 working fans but not one? I can not understand.

Hi:

Both the service manual (chapter 6, page 46) and the service teardown video show two fans in the model series.

Maintenance and Service Guide (hp.com)

Removing and replacing the system fans begins at minute 18:11.

so sorry @Paul_Tikkanen  I did not see an answer when I clicked on the answer link..
I definitely don't like this new layout, I would never get used to it

I see but how can I recognize whether gpu fan works or not? Because I do not hear sounds from it and hot air goes only from left side not from right (if I look at the screen)

hi

check the pictures carefully
personally I see here on the right side only ports, usb, Rj 45, hdmi etc.
left , power connector usb, audio ...

ventilation ,

(2) Vent Enables airflow to cool internal components.
NOTE: The computer fan starts up automatically to cool
internal components and prevent overheating. It's normal
for the internal fan to cycle on and off during routine
operation.

Rear

fan-assembly

heat sink

from what i see a dual fan system (probably) which is used with system heat sink , for both system component, processor, and graphics

So it will certainly be impossible to identify, if one or the other of the fans works via software or not!
Now, on the other hand, you should perhaps be able to check if there is overheating or not.
