Model (Victus Gaming Laptop 16-r1042nt (9J244EA)) i5-14500HX-RTX4060laptop [I'm using Thermalright Helios as thermal paste] [BIOS ver. is F16 newest] [Omen Gaming Hub latest version]
[I tried different voltage settings, now my UV is -0,175v]
In recent weeks, I've been experiencing an issue where my CPU hits its power limit.
My laptop is about 9 months old. This is the first time it's running into power limits — or maybe it was happening before too, but I assumed it was a thermal limit, I’m not sure.
Even though temperatures don’t exceed 90°C, during a 10-minute Cinebench R23 test, the CPU hits its power limit and starts throttling after 2–3 minutes.
The same issue has started happening in games, which has become frustrating.
In a short multi-core test like the 10-second one, it can score 20,000 points. But when extended to 10 minutes, the score drops to around 17,500 due to the power limit.
I’ve also experienced very consistent FPS fluctuations in one or two games I play under certain conditions.

@UruxUs, 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
Thanks for the detailed description and the screenshot — that really helps with narrowing things down. Based on the information provided, here's what you can try
Set Max Performance in BIOS (if available)
Boot into BIOS (press F10 during startup).
Look for “Thermal” or “Power” configurations:
Set to “Performance” or “Max Performance” if available.
Some Victus BIOS lack advanced controls—if so, skip this.
Maximize Power Settings in Windows & OGH
Go to Omen Gaming Hub → Performance Control:
Set to "Performance" mode.
Disable any “Eco” or “Balanced” power plans.
In Windows Power Settings:
Go to Control Panel → Power Options → High Performance.
Under “Processor power management,” set
Minimum processor state: 100%
Maximum processor state: 100%
I hope this helps.
Please feel free to reply here if you have any questions or if you need further clarification on any of the steps.
Take care and have a good day.
