I have an HP Victus laptop with an Intel i5-14500HX processor. Lately, I've noticed that the CPU usage is low, but the temperature is high, reaching 72 degrees Celsius while just browsing. I'm looking for effective ways to reduce the heat since I've already taken it to a service center, and they claimed to have fixed the problem, but nothing has changed. Any tips or suggestions would be appreciated!

It's pretty common for HP laptops to run hot, so don't stress too much about the temperature. Instead of undervolting, try disabling turbo boost and lowering the maximum frequency. This way, you can manage the heat without risking the CPU's settings. Just keep in mind that 72 degrees isn't alarming; it's designed to handle up to 95 degrees before throttling kicks in.
That's good to know! My friend's laptop is similar but runs at only 55-60 degrees.
