Laptop overheating to 97 degree Celsius

[athmanash]

Hello guys. Recently I purchased Asus fx503 gaming laptop with i7 7700hq and GTX 1050 4gb. Today I was playing assassins creed origins on this laptop and the temp raised to 97 degree Celsius. Is this normal for a gaming laptop?

Edit 1: laptop starts to thermal throttle in around 90 degrees but not much, the frequency after throttle is 3.4 GHz and before throttle is 3.8 ghz(boost)

You can try a few things.

Replace thermal paste in you laptop and clean the interior with canned air.

Make sure that the intake and exhaust are not blocked. Adding a laptop cooling pad with fans can help. Only downside is the noise.
