Victus by HP 16.1 inch Gaming Laptop PC 16-r1000 (8Z7S4AV)

                A few days ago, I noticed that the fan noise was a bit loud even though I had just turned on my laptop. Laptop victus                   16-r1004nt. I looked at the cpu values ​​​​from HP Omen and noticed that I got a value between 65 and 70 Dec. The                        laptop is only 3-4 months old. I have never encountered such a problem before. I do not think it is caused by the                               thermal paste, but since it is under warranty, I will take it to technical service. Can anyone help?

Hi @mertd,

 

Welcome to HP Support Community.

 

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

 

The CPU temperatures you mentioned (65-70°C) when your laptop is idle or under minimal load are slightly higher than typical for a gaming laptop, especially one as new as your HP Victus 16. Under normal circumstances, idle temperatures should range between 35-50°C, depending on ambient temperature and cooling efficiency. The loud fan noise further suggests that the system is trying to compensate for higher-than-expected temperatures.

 

Here’s a checklist of possible causes and steps to consider before taking your laptop for service:

 

Background Applications

  • Check for background processes: High CPU temperatures can be caused by background applications consuming resources.
    • Open the Task Manager (Ctrl + Shift + Esc) and check the "Processes" tab for any applications using significant CPU.
    • Disable any unnecessary startup programs.

Dust Accumulation

  • While your laptop is only 3-4 months old, dust can accumulate quickly depending on your environment.
    • Use compressed air to blow out any dust from the vents, especially the intake and exhaust vents.

Drivers and Updates

  • Ensure all drivers, especially those for the chipset and graphics card, are up-to-date.
    • Open the HP Support Assistant to check for driver updates.
    • Update your BIOS if it's outdated, as thermal management can sometimes be improved with newer firmware.

Cooling Performance

  • Monitor fan speed: Use the HP Omen Command Center or third-party tools like HWMonitor to check fan RPM.
  • Power plan settings: Ensure you are on the "Balanced" or "Power Saver" plan rather than "Performance" for idle use.

Software Troubleshooting

  • Thermal throttling: High idle temperatures can cause your system to throttle performance and increase fan usage.
    • Run a lightweight stress test using tools like HWInfo or Cinebench to ensure the cooling system can handle moderate loads without excessive heat buildup.

 

I hope this helps.

 

Take care and have a good day.
