Hello, my laptop has been getting 96C on it, i7 4720HQ.

Let's just not get into details as I'm aware of them, the simple question is;

I have discovered that setting minimal processor power to %5 and max. power to %80 in Processor Power Management helps me getting much lower temps without significantly doing impact on performance, but one question. - Is limiting CPU safe? This method works, but I don't know how safe is it... is it?
 
Solution
I don't see how it isn't safe. This is just a mobile power management feature. Limiting the CPU will reduce power usage but doesn't damage it or put it at any further risk.
