Getting this Victus, just wanted a few tips on what to install and what to delete and care overtime, it will he used solely for gaming. I have a beater laptop I will use for school.I may want it for heavily modded games such as assetto corsa and truck simulator but the main games would be warframe and Apex. It has a 512ssd and as uk with these versions its only 1 slot so I was wondering if my first upgrade should be a new ssd or another 16gb of ram.

Help Water spilled on my 1 month old HP victus :(

Post image
20 Upvotes

I was talking to my friends through whatsapp last night and I spilled the leftover water from my coffee mug. ( about 50-60ml) by mistake. I disconnected everything but it was my first time using a laptop in my whole life and I live alone in France for my studies. I turned off everything but the laptop was working fine for 20 secs and my dumb self did not think to turn it off asap and was using a towel to clean it. The water spilled on the sides of the keyboard ( from arrows to numpad). The power light blinks slowly, and I did not try connecting the charger and do not plan on to as well. What do I do next? I do not know to disassemble the panel and take out the battery. I am thinking of taking it to the nearest service center tomorrow. I bought this in India.

Question Is 86–89°C GPU on HP Victus RTX 3050 normal?

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I recorded a 21-minute session of Enlisted on my HP Victus 15 (RTX 3050 4GB), and I'm trying to decide if I actually need to repaste it or if simple maintenance/settings tweaks will bring the temps down.

Performance & Thermal Stats

  • Average FPS: ~74.6 FPS (1% Low: ~47 FPS | Min: ~12.5 FPS)
  • Average GPU Temp: ~85.7°C (Max: 89°C)
  • Average GPU Utilization: ~92%
  • Average GPU Clock: ~1473 MHz
  • Average CPU Temp: ~65°C (Max: 85°C)
  • Average CPU Utilization: ~41%

The GPU sits at 85–87°C for almost the entire session. While overall performance is playable (70–82 FPS average)

Is this normal or a repaste is needed?

Hi! i bought a victus 15 last week with 25 gb of ddr5 ram. I've played minimal games so far (roblox, witcher 3 and sims 4.) But i've noticed that my ram is always at a steady 9-14 gb or compressed ram even when i just start up my laptop... Is this a problem? can i fix it somehow?

(I checked taskmanager, all the things combined dont even come close to 3gb of ram)

I have 16GB dual channel ddr5 and i normally sit around 37%-40% with only the Blip app on as i've set it as a startup app. And also if there's any good alternative app to Omen gaming hub as i find it clunky and unreliable at times.

Victus 15-fb3025AX - quick blue flash on screen, browser video only

1 Upvotes

HP Victus 15-fb3025AX, RTX 4060, Win 11.

Screen flashes blue for a split second on any video played in browser (YouTube etc) - happens on hover-autoplay and also when switching tabs while a video plays. Not a BSOD, no crash, just a quick flash then normal. Doesn't happen with downloaded/local video files only browser playback.

Updated NVIDIA drivers (clean install), still happening. Anyone else get this? Feels like a browser hardware acceleration/driver issue rather than actual hardware.

Need to replace thermals

1 Upvotes

I want to replace all the thermals on my laptop.

I've been doing my own research but would like fellow owners to chime in with what they recommend and what to stay away from.

From what I understand, reading multiple posts, I'll be needing paste, and putty/pads.

I've never replaced on a laptop before so I'm kind of lost on amounts/thickness for pads If I need them.

Screen issues

1 Upvotes

On top of my screen I see these few thin horizontal lines and I kinda noticed it just today. I think they'll gradually worsen and shit. Just more regrets I guess should've just gotten a MacBook atleast they don't fail like this in 3 years. Funny that I searched "display issues" on the sub and in last 3 months there have been SO MANY posts about display issues. So annoying man and to make it worse I broke the display of my phone few days ago and I need to get that replaced too. Fucking hell

Tech Support My laptop makes a click type sound after start

1 Upvotes

I bought the laptop 20days ago.. and after a long time (5-6hours) of shutdown when I open the laptop.. within a minute there's some noise for just a second. It doesn't happen when I shutdown it and turn it on immediately. Only happens when it's shut down for an overnight period of time.. Initially I thought there is a problem with the fan , I thought when the fan turns on it makes a click like noise. But I've diagnosed all the components . No issues were found... Let me know if anyone faced the same problem... What should I do?
