Solved! Laptop Temperature

[hannessy]

I have an asus laptop (x556ub). I've been searching on youtube if I can play some certain games. What is the safest peak temperature for laptop while gaming? also if I reached that peak temperature what will happen to my laptop? will it shutdown or will it just burn my video card? (games that I want to play is GTA V)

if it reaches a "critical" temperature, the CPU/GPU will just throttle speed till it is not that hot anymore.

get maybe a cooling pad

"...get maybe a cooling pad ..." +1 helpstar! I highly recommend using an external USB-powered cooling assembly (one giant or twin fans). Both of my laptops each have one.
