Is 80 degrees Celsius too hot for my XPS 13 9343?

[virx]

Hello, my laptop model is the early 2015 edition of the XPS 13. When I play games, the cpu core temp often hits 79 degrees, and hovers around 70-75 degrees. Is that going to damage my CPU?

It should be okay because the max temp for the Core i5 CPU is 100c. I generally recommend people to buy a laptop cooler which can help lower temps up to 5c.

It ok. As long as it doesn't reach 85 - 90, then it should be ok.
