Max temp reached while gaming

[Severus Baller]

I know there are a lot of similar posts but i needed to have a one on one talk with someone myself. Im running an asus tuf laptop with an R7 6800H and an RTX 3050ti. The idle temps seem to be around 60 degrees C and below which is decent for a laptop. However while playing, say OW2 the temperatures climbs up to 90 degrees C on low settings. since the idle temps are decent i dont think its problem of thermal paste or clogged air vents since its a new system. The fans also ramp up to max speed at high temps.

So my first question is - How safe is it to operate at this temperature for the overall health of the cpu since i plan to use it for 5 years.
Secondly - Say if im playing god of war then the cpu utilisation is decent so it makes sense for high temps but while playing ow2 the cpu utilisation is like 10-20% which wont make sense why the cpu temps go so high. 
I also saw a setting in the power plan in control panel where i can change the max power state of the cpu. Would it help to run the cpu on a low enough power to prevent from heating.

This whole heating issue is with the cpu only - the gpu seems to be fine.

 

Thanks in advanced.

how do you check temps ?

I got a solution to the problem 

 

Apparently there is a setting in the advanced power plan options under the processor power management header, called Process Performance Boost Mode.

This is set to aggressive by default and this specific setting is not visible in the advance power options by default. You have to make it visible through registry edit. Once I disable it, the temperatures improve by leaps and bounds. For instance in low settings i was getting like 80+ degrees C in CSGO but after disabling it im getting a consistent below 65 degrees C.
