That’s what laptops are, hot

Don’t worry much. Critical temps for those cpu is 105°C. As for trottling mechanism… Well, modern laptops start to drop frequency when 86-98°C reached (depends on vendor config) wich is actually quite rare but still happens with extensive loads. So relax and use your laptop. Or get a good colling stand if you are concerned about. But don’t forget to clean your laptop every 6 months or even more often if you have a cat

I’m just wondering why not screenshot and crop the picture.

That’s normal

Try to elevate/prop up your laptop when playing games. It helps a lot.

If a CPU or GPU gets so hot that it will cause damage, it usually automatically shuts itself off

A computer has limits built into it so that it never gets hot enough to outright destroy itself (although it can wear out faster). You’ll be fine, you won’t break it by playing games on it. As other people have said, it would be a good idea to invest in a cooler, if only to make your gaming experience better.

What is the laptop resting on? (hard surface, soft surface etc).

U grade isn’t meant for heavy gaming.Which games you play?

This isn’t the old days where chips fry themselves given enough heat. They will throttle themselves slower (and with less power) once each core reaches the TjMax value

why? stop being worried, it wont burn…

If you don’t play Fortnite or fifa you should be clear.

It’s normal. Disabling turbo boost also helps.

I had a similar issue with my older laptop after replacing the thermal paste, turns out I had the heatsink on too tight and there wasn’t any thermal paste on the die.

I was having similar issues, but was encountering throttling with my GPU (with fans at max). Repasted the CPU and GPU and I am consistently closer to 90 now (with fans still at max).

I’d recommend doing the same if you’re confident at all in that area.

But as others said, it should be fine. (As long as you’re not seeing performance impacts as I was.)
