Analyzing laptop GPU stats

[JuztBe]

Hello, 
TL;DR My laptop's thermal pads was replaced with thicker ones than they were before, GPU doesn't contact well with radiator now.
While I'm waiting for new pads, should I limit GPU usage?

 

 
 
 

Looks bad, but is it dangerous?

Laptop gpu's can run a little bit hotter but I would limit gpu usage, is this when gaming?

uh yeah, 97 Celsius isn't good, Limit it until you can get in the mid-80's at most

Yup, gaming.

Yup, gaming.

It's high but my card will get about 90 when I play highend games.

Kepler GPUs are hard-coded to downclock at 92 degrees on a laptop to avoid overheating. I don't know what GPU you have, nor how you managed to hit 97 deg C on it, but that's overheating.
