New Laptop: Is it too hot?

[James_640]

I just got a new laptop for college and I want to make sure that it is acting alright. It is the Asus GL702VSK with a 1070 and i7 7700k. When I am playing games like Divinity Original Sin 2 or others the cores get to low 80s, but I have never caught it at 90. Is this safe, and more importantly I am hoping this laptop lasts a few years so is this something that can be sustained for a while. I do not game too often - maybe 3 hour intervals every day. Is there anything to worry about, is this the industry norm with the new generation of laptops?

Thanks!

your asus has an i7-7700hq or i7-7820hk?

It's in the post but it is a 7700k.

it is not possible because asus uses bga cpus. i7-7700k is a desktop cpu

Sure, it's a 7700hq. Can you answer the question or not?

could you test it with aida 64 extreme (CPU+GPU) for 25/30 minutes?

Being a brand new laptop, I doubt there's much you need to do right now. I would suggest having it on a decent laptop cooler(at least while gaming). The only other things to do would be to air it out at least once a month... and possibly replace the thermal paste on the cpu + gpu with something high grade(that is, if you have the skill set to do so).
