I'm a little worried about my temperatures, so I would like you people to help me. These are my current temperature readings (ASUS N56VZ):

Idle = 49C - 51C
Browsing = 52C - 55C
Heavy gaming = 86C - 97C

The maximum temperature of this CPU before throttling is 105C (It never reached that temp tho). What do you think about the temps? Are they normal?

Best Regards.

Well, the laptop had similar temperatures a while ago, so I changed the thermal compound (like 3 days ago), do you think I should wait some more time for the break-in period? The compound used was Arctic Silver 5

Yes I would wait for the thermal compound to set a little more (maybe one week) and then come back and test the temperatures again, if temps are still too high the best thing I can recommend in a cooling pad, they work a dream for laptop gaming. And of course as I said before verify that the fan isn't blocked by any dust or anything. You could try what hafijur said about switching to integrated graphics when not gaming but I think quite a few laptops do this automatically now anyway (not 100% which brands it is though)
