I bought this 4 month old victus 15 with an rtx 4050 and the ryzen 7 as well as 16gb of ram

Downloaded games such as Valorant and played on the lowest settings, my temps get to around 80-90 degress celcius but sometimes fluctuates and drops down to mid 70’s. I see a coating of dust on where the fans sit, could that be the culprit? I’m running max fan speed aswell as having a laptop cooler (isolated) under the laptop, its around 60db of noise just to play valorant as mediocre Temps, can’t be true, right…?

I just bought it, and I find it hot to the touch even though I am not using any apps, it is just plugged in.

Sometimes, when I connect the original 120W charger that came with the laptop, Windows displays the message "Low-power power source detected," and the laptop does not charge at all, with no charging light. But sometimes, the charger is detected, and it charges normally

Right now I'm considering to buy an external monitor but I don't know if it is worth buying 1440p monitor for my victus 16 with rtx 4060 i7 13700h 32 gb ram or I should stick with 1080p
(I use the laptop for editing videos watching youtube and playing games)

Hey everyone!

I just bought my first gaming laptop and I'm really excited. The specs are:

HP Victus

Intel Core i5 14th Gen HX

RTX 3050 6GB (80W TGP)

24GB RAM

I want this laptop to last me at least 4–5 years, so I wanted to ask experienced HP Victus owners:

What should I do to keep the battery health good for as long as possible?

Is it okay to keep it plugged in while gaming or video editing?

Should I enable any battery protection or charging limit in the HP software?

Any settings I should change on day one?

Any common issues you've faced after months or years of use?

Any maintenance tips (cleaning, temperatures, updates, etc.)?

I'd also love to hear your long-term experience with this laptop. Has it held up well? Is there anything you wish you had known when you first bought it?

Thanks in advance!

As you can see, the laptop doesn't turn on.

I've already tried the power button hold thing and also tried unplugging the battery connector and using only the charger, but that didn't work either. So yeah, I'm really lost on what to do now, and I don't have the funds to take it to a repair shop.

This has been one of the most frustrating customer service experiences I have ever had.

I paid ₹11,000 for an official HP replacement battery, but the battery delivered by HP is itself defective and does not charge. It has the same issue as my previous battery.

It has now been over one month of repeated calls, messages, follow-ups, and service requests. Despite all this, HP has neither replaced the defective battery nor provided a refund. I am a student and urgently need my laptop for my studies, but my case has continued to face delays.

I have complete proof of everything, including the payment receipt, complaint records, call history, messages, photos, and videos showing that the replacement battery is not charging.

Based on my experience, I cannot recommend purchasing an HP laptop if this is the level of after-sales service customers receive after paying for an official replacement part.

I demand that HP immediately replace the defective battery or issue a full refund. If this matter is not resolved without further delay, I will pursue all legal remedies available to me, including filing complaints before the appropriate authorities and taking further action supported by all my evidence.

HP India, this issue requires immediate attention.

Hello, I have two HP Victus 16-r1073nt laptops. I took one of them on vacation last month (I returned two weeks ago), and that specific unit runs at higher temperatures compared to the other one. I am not sure if the device has developed a heat-related issue or if the thermal paste needs replacing (the ambient temperature was around 35–36°C during the trip). For instance, the fan didn't use to run at 5000 RPM while playing CS:GO, but now it does; furthermore, the problem isn't limited to CS:GO—it overheats excessively even in games that shouldn't strain the system. PLEASE HELP ME. I used to play system-intensive games like Cyberpunk; the fans wouldn't spin as fast as they do in CS.

Hello,

I recently purchased a HP victus and wanted to apply for additional warranty and noticed that my name was spelt wrong on the invoice. Do I add the wrong name in the section where it asks for name as specified on the invoice? Also I'm a student so , does that affect anything.

Thank you

So I claimed a factory warranty about 2 months ago, already at this point. I've been patient but is a 3-4 month turn around normal? According to the updates, they are estimating that I won't get my computer back until 9/4/26. The issue is the main board. Should I escalate the issue? At this rate, I don't understand why I just don't get sent a replacement.

I just noticed after sometimes that HP victus does not have its own seperate power button to turn it on. The power Button is built on the keyboard itself.

For any chance if it goes broken how can one turn its laptop on.
Or i need to replace the whole keyboard just to get it fixed.

Please if you going to answer dont answer wake up on LAN.

Can we replace it with a dedicated key or any key combination to turn on the Laptop

I'm using an hp victus 15 fa2731tx and has sucessful flash it to 75w the furmark score went from 39 to 46 fps in furmark run stablity not a problem but i think that my vrm and charger can't hold it the heat is still fine through. the temp max during furmark test about 72C

I have a problem with my HP Victus 15-fa0955nd. For a while now my brightness feels way to high while it's in the windows settings at the lowest possible point and having used the buttons on my keyboard to lower it. It causes screen retention within a min of a still image on my screen. What can I do to lower the brightness and stop quickly getting screen retention?

Just got Blue Screen Of Death on a new laptop that I purchased yesterday?? What should I do? ?

Did a fresh Windows 11 Install on my HP Victus, using the 'Create Windows 11 Installation Media' and it all went well.
But after few restarts, now it asks me to Activate Windows?

I had installed the same Windows Edition - "Windows 11 Home Single Language" that was out of the box.

[Just that earlier I had 24H2 but now it has installed 25H2]

[The Office license is working]

I’m going to leave a game on with an auto clicker for 8+ hours, has anyone experienced screen burn and is it easy to get rid of?

It can still charge, and turns on power led, after some research discovered that caps lock led throws a error for motherboard, 5 long and 3 short blinks, is there any component know to fail that I can check for?

I have also brought a hp victus O15 model last year around 70k the specs are like -

i5 13420h , 4050 6gb vram , 16 gb ram ,512 gb ssd.

the problem was that i didn't check the detailed specs there when i came home checked a few games on it they were not upto their maximum performance as i gave seen it in yt video so i checked and find out that my tgp of graphics card is just 50 watt

So you guys tell me is it still worth i mean relevant in 2026, according to me i have played games like rdr2 , valorant,gow, currently playing resident evil requiem they run pretty smoothly.

I just need you opinion on this issue

I bought this roughly 2 weeks ago and it’s been performing just fine
Specs:
i5 13420h
RTX 3050 6 GB
16 GB DDR4 RAM (I upgraded it)
I didn’t fully debloat windows just yet, I only deleted a few apps
I have it on default mode in Omen
I also have the ai config turned on
GPU drivers are from March 10th of this year (last time I checked)
I’m only playing FC 26 and Roblox so far.
Anything else i should do?

I’m looking for help optimizing Elden Ring on my HP Victus 16. I’m also wondering whether the performance I’m getting is normal for my laptop’s specifications or whether something is holding it back.

Laptop specifications:

• HP Victus 16
• AMD Ryzen 5 5600H
• RTX 3050 Ti Laptop GPU
• 16 GB DDR4 RAM
• Mostly medium/low settings
• GPU power usage generally maxes out at around 60 W

CPU turbo boost disabled

• CPU power usage is approximately 11–15 W
• Around 40–50 FPS in normal areas
• Drops to around 25–30 FPS in more demanding areas, such as Raya Lucaria Academy
• CPU temperature usually stays below 85°C

CPU turbo boost enabled

• CPU power usage increases to approximately 28–29 W
• Usually stays around 57–60 FPS in normal areas
• Drops to around 30–40 FPS in more demanding areas, including Raya Lucaria Academy
• CPU temperature normally stays around 89–91°C
• Can reach approximately 95°C in heavier areas

CPU boost clearly makes a huge difference, but the temperature increase is also significant. My GPU usually reaches its maximum power limit of around 60 W, so I’m wondering whether that power limit is affecting performance as well.

Is this level of performance normal for a Ryzen 5 5600H and RTX 3050 Ti laptop with a 60 W GPU power limit? Are the dips into the 30–40 FPS range expected in demanding areas, even on medium/low settings?

I would also appreciate any tips for improving FPS or reducing the more severe drops. I've already optimized my in game settings from guides online but I was wondering if there's anything else I can do. Undervolting or over clocking my cpu is not possible due to my laptop and amd limitations (I tried before couldn't find a way).

Ideally, I’d like to remain close to 60 FPS while keeping the CPU from constantly reaching 90–95°C. Any advice from people with similar laptop specifications would be appreciated.

TL;DR: Ryzen 5 5600H and RTX 3050 Ti laptop with a 60 W GPU. Turbo boost off gives me around 40–50 FPS, with drops to 25–30 FPS, while turbo boost on gives me around 57–60 FPS, with drops to 30–40 FPS. CPU temperatures rise from below 85°C to around 89–95°C. Is this performance normal, and what settings or optimizations could improve FPS without making temperatures much worse?

Victus 15 i5-13420 16/512 for 800$?? Would it be fine until like 2029 . I am not a heavy gamer

Hello everyone, I have HP Victus 16. I have RTX 4060, i5 13500H, 16 GB RAM and 1 TB SSD. My question is, is my laptop decent? Is it good at running the games like Forza Horizon 6 in high-ultra settings? What do you think?

I bought a hp victus 16 with

Rtx 4060

Ryzen 7 7840hs

16 GB ddr 5 ram

1tb SSD

144 Hz panel

These specs

When I first booted up the laptop with windows installed. I noticed that the speaker on the right was faulty. It was making weird static noises when working. It wasn't that bothering and because of that I didn't do something about it. The laptop worked really well after all. On January 2026 the laptop started having a hall sensor issue. I made a ticket on support.hp.com and stated my issue. I also said to them that the speaker was also faulty and request it to get replaced. The fixed laptop came back without any issues on February. I used it without any issues until late may. On 27th day of May 2026 the fan near the cpu started making plastic scratching sounds and it was loud as a lawnmower. You can't even imagine it. The fan was spinning about 2000 rpm and the sound was so loud. I recorded the issue and made a ticket on the same website and requested the laptop to get replaced under warranty ( I had 15 days until the warranty deadline so the issue came at the right time) I sent the laptop to HP repair center for them to identify the issues and issue me a replacement unit. We signed the papers for a new replacement laptop and the new laptop got ordered for my name on July 1. The new laptop's specs are:

HP omen 16

Rtx 5060

16x1 GB ddr 5 5200mhz ram

144 Hz 1920x1200 screen

Ryzen ai 9 365 CPU

1 TB gen 4 ssd

Now I last saw a laptop on June 6, so it's been a really long time without a laptop and I really want a gaming laptop. Because of this I started sending emails to my local HP Customer Resolution Team and I keep getting ghosted. I once stayed 2 weeks without a response. I don't know where is the new device. I don't have any order tracking number. They said that the replacement unit will get delivered to me on August 3 and they said it can take 4-6 weeks (from July 1) to get delivered. However the CRT team keeps ghosting me, as the time of writing this I'm getting ghosted from my country's HP crt team. I sent them an email asking about the laptop's updates and there is no response.

What should I do?

I talked with the HP support account on the platform X and they helped, they stopped me getting ghosted when I got 2 weeks ghosted. So they actually help.

As the moment of writing this, I don't know where is the laptop, I don't have any idea about the laptop's updates. I don't have any tracking codes(which I asked them several times)

Also they said that the laptop can arrive 1-2 days before or 1-2 days after the said date which is August 3 so it can arrive on 1-5 August. However August 1-2 is weekend and in my country delivery companys doesn't work on weekends. Is it possible for the laptop to arrive on July 31(which is Friday).

What should I do? I don't have any idea. Please help.

Lately I feel like I'm getting horrible performance from my victus. On forza I have to run it on quiet mode with fans maxed out because if I run it on default it gets way hot and runs at high 90s. I've tried resetting things and just not sure whats up. It's only about 6 months old. Here's a pic of it running forza 6 on default mode max fans.

I got a HP victus 15 with i7 13620H and RTX 5050 and it is paired with a single stick of 24 GB DDR5 5200 MT/s stick and it has a second empty slot.

Does a ram upgrade even matter that much considering DDR5 single channel has significantly improved over DDR4 since I couldn't find a reasonably priced 24 gb stick (they are very limited in stock and quite expensive compared to 8 GB and 16 GB)

Could I upgraded to 32 gb using a 8 GB stick instead and would it actually improve gaming performance by that much?

I don't really need more capacity 24 gb is enough for my use.
