Fo some reason, the gpu temperature of the GT750m in my laptop heats up to about 91 C when playing graphics intensive games. I was just playing Arkham origins with all the settings turned on to the highest possible values and with 2x MSAA, but I noticed the hot air blowing out through the vents at the side of the laptop. Even placing my finger there felt like placing it in fire. MSI Afterburner recorded temperatures of 91 to 95 C, even without overclocking. Is this temperature safe for a laptop GPU? If it isn't, what can I do to fix it?
GPU temps between 90-95 degrees celsius safe?

overclocking the GPU will make everything ALOT worse, especially temp wise. Underclocking would help, But im guessing you don't want to do that as your playing with everything turned up, With some compressed air just make sure your laptop is turned off and blow straight into where the hot air comes out of, (it will be full of dust if the laptop is 3months+ old), also i do the bottom vents aswel, Make sure can is upright, it will not damage anything inside your computer, If you do see moisture come out of the can because it wasn't upright, just wait an hour so its fully dry before your turn it back on.
If there was any dust in there you will see a nice improvement on temps

have you got vsync on, that can limit temps a little if you are performing at above your screens refresh rate.
that temp is safe, but borderline, personally I wouldn't run at that. My 470 ran at 105C for a while when the fan profile went pear shaped, but that's not great in a laptop, as it will start to affect other components nearby, or your lap.

Noted. My laptop is indeed more than 3 months old, so I will try that method as soon as possible. Would you consider reapplying the thermal paste if you were to be facing this problem? And, it seems as though I cant control the fan speeds through Afterburner. It doesn't seem clickable, and there is no fan tab in 'settings'. I want it to run at 100% all the time to increase cooling. I tried EVGA Precision X with the same results.

95 degrees Celsius is insane. I doubt if the temp sensor gives you the correct reading. Use a different software to read the temp.
An attempt to decrease a laptop GPU temp would be to clean your laptop fan and heatsinks. Re-apply the thermal paste. And most importantly, get a cooling pad. Mine runs at 70 - 80 max under load.

It won't have a separate GPU fan, the fan will be for a heat pipe assembly covering the CPU and GPU more akin to a case fan, and probably mobo controlled.
Got it. I once overclocked a 660Ti in my desktop to such absurd levels that it reached 115 C and the fan burnt out due to crazy spinning. I will try blowing compressed air into the vents, but am not willing to compromise on gaming performance in order to lower temps. Have you played Arkham Origins on the highest settings with everything turned on? It's just beautiful..
It's not the CPU temp, it's the GPU. I am not sure as to the exact position of the fans, and I am kinda reluctant to take apart the laptop, as it will not be easy to assemble it again. I do have a cooling pad already running below the laptop, and yet it still seems to reach such temps for some reason. An what software would you recommend to monitor temps?

not normally, is there anything in your BIOS, it will probably be at 100% when you are at those temps, so having it reach that earlier would not make a lot of difference.
