Hi i have a Asus N550LF laptop and my Graphic card temperatures goes up to 65-75 degrees and my cpu temperature up to 60-70 degrees. Now im kind of scared if those temperatures will destroy my laptop by overheating. I get those temperatures when playing WOW on max settings.

MY laptop specs:
Graphic card Geforce GT 745M
CPU intel core i5 4200U
Ram 8GB

Laptops run hotter overall when compared to a desktop and as a result are made to withstand such temperatures on a daily basis. My GPU on my desktop runs at at around 71 degrees under load and my CPU at around 60 degrees, and keep in my I have additional fans mounted in the case. A friend who uses a laptop routinely sees temperatures go up to 80 degrees on his GPU.

You have to keep in mind that all those components are tightly packed inside, so temperatures like that are to be expected. The only reason to worry about it is if they start going even higher. 90 degrees I say should be the limit on the GPU. And besides, laptops have safety measures built-in. If the temperatures far higher than they should, it starts to throttle the components to cool everything down. Worst case scenario, if the temperatures get critical, it will simply shut down when the sensors detect it. I had a friend who used a laptop for around 3 years and for the first 2 he didn't bother cleaning the dust, running it at close to 90 degrees sometimes. But that laptop is still alive and kicking.

Yup Bro totally fine. Nothing gets destroyed by overheating in laptops. It shuts down itself to prevent such damage. Keep blasting the temperatures to peak , nothing happens ever really.

Those temps are fine. 90 is the absolute limit for most laptops with 105 being critical enough to cause a shutdown. I have been using my laptop and it runs at 80 degrees for cpu and 70 for gpu. The highest I have ever got my laptop is 98 and my fans really kicked in there to cool it down, so don't worry. Only worry if you start noticing frame drops or performance issues when doing normal things.

I would say that 80 is the best temps to aim for in a laptop as this should give 20 degrees leaveway for the cpu and gpu to heat up during the summer.

isnt 90 degrees a bit too hot for a laptop to handle without damaging the laptops interior especailly if you play games for like 3 to 4 hours with no rest
