My CPU idles at about 65-70c out of the box. Under load of heavy gaming it goes to 75ish c… is this normal? Should I be worried about the high idle temp even though under load it doesn’t go too high? null

Yes be worried having your computer at a high temperature like that often can damage your cpu.

That's a normal temperature under a high load, but unless the computer is resting on a soft surface (so it's airflow is restricted) that idle temperature does seem a little on the high side. I'd contact the HP support team to see if there's some sort of configuration issue (like the computer being set to always run at it's maximum speed, which will produce more heat.
