Question about safe temps

[Random Ware]

I bought this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07F5QGPZG and I find my cpu getting to 80+ Celsius when playing more modern games such as Warframe, Dauntless, GTA V. I have gotten it really close to or over 90 Celsius and I immediately close everything and monitor my temps till it goes down to a safe level. I can get it to idle at a comfortable 55-60 Celsius (depends if my room is hot or not). Should I worry if my cpu is at around 85 Celsius?

 

Edit: I did buy a cooling pad but that really only helps so much. Really it was a bit of a waste of my money. The only thing it's good for is if I'm having it on my lap with it.

Those kind of temperatures are not abnormal for laptops. While it's impossible to say if it's causing long term damage, for the short term it will be fine. It's certainly not going to die in a year or anything that drastic.

 

You hear all this talk about max safe temperature and it's all nonsense, Intel issues no such number. They do issue a T-junction number which is the maximum temperature allowed at the die before the processor will throttle and in most cases that number is around 100°c. There's an argument to be made that this means Intel 'rate' their CPUs upto 100°c however any electrical engineer will tell you that running electronics that hot will cause damage over long periods.

 

It's upto you to decide the balance between heat & longevity however in a laptop it's not easy to reduce temperature. Honestly 85°c isn't the end of the world, in a PC I'd be saying do something about it but in a laptop it is what it is.

I wouldn't worry a whole lot about 85... 90 to me is pushing it. I know temp maxes on desktop processors is 105 before thermal throttle. Now I don't know how healthy that is but JayzTwoCents seems to get away with it about every time he tests something new for thermal paste lol. Laptops might be a little different but it's all the same silicon...

Laptop CPU's tend to withstand higher temperatures than Desktop CPU's. 
Your CPU max temperature is 100C. I would worry if it get's in the mid to high 90C. The one thing you sacrifice when you game on a laptop is heat. Make sure the laptop is dust-free and elevated not slammed flat onto something. Room temperature is important too. 

My CPU while playing demanding games can go up to 85C too.

You could buy a cooling mat that could help temperatures

Thanks everyone for responding. I was told by several friends that I really shouldn't worry about it but such a high temperature scared me from playing anything that high of a temperature for very long. But I really wanted to have an outside opinion of my bubble of friends. Thanks again.

I said that in the edit part of the post that I bought a cooling pad. Really it doesn't help that much.

Oh ok really

Nitro 5 has CPU cooling issue. The stock paste is also bad
