MSI GP66 Leopard 11UG with i7-11800H & RTX 3070 [Temperature & general opinion]

I was checking a youtube video about the following laptop: MSI GP66 Leopard 11UG with i7-11800H & RTX 3070.

 

In the video I saw the CPU reach 90s Cº several times while gaming.

Is it something I should be worried about? Or if it's within CPU specs it is okay ?  

 

It has been more than 10 years since I bought my last laptop so I'm a little bit out of the loop and now I have intention to buy a laptop for work and gaming.

What are your thoughts about this laptop and/or MSI laptops in general?

 

Thanks in advance.

From a couple reviews I found it thermal throttles itself quite a bit depending on what is done so you are for sure losing performance here.

 

For the price of that laptop the asus g15 and the strix amd version are well in budget same story for the entire lenovo legion 5 series and all of these have better coolers.

Normal in GP66/GE66. CPU thermal is not that great but still OK.

Might need to use higher fan speed/max fans and do repaste.

Might be worth undervolting the CPU/GPU to try and counter the thermal throttling.
