Is it safe for my laptop?

[shermakekayiranga]

Hello, I have an Acer Aspire 7 A715 ( intel i5 7300HQ, GTX 1050) and when I run Nier, CPU go as high as 90 degrees celsius on certain cores(others are around 80-90) and GTX at 68-72 . I know that i5 intels have a max of 100 degrees. Is it okay for me to push it that far even for short gaming sessions (1.5-3hrs) ?

As long as you are under the specification you shouldn't hurt anything. Yes, it's running a little hot, but it's a laptop and unfortunately heat is one of the trade offs with laptops.

I live in a hot country atm that may factor. Thank you though

They sell cooling pads for laptops and they aren't that expensive. I've never used one....but maybe you could get one and try it.
