I have recently bought a lenovo y700 with a skylake 6700HQ cpu and 960M Gpu. When playing gta5 at normal-high settings the cpu runs at high 70s and low 80s, while the gpu runs at around 70. Is this safe for usage around 4-5 hours? Do I need to reseat heatsink and add thermal paste? Any help is appreciated.

It's normal for those temps.
My Lenovo Y480 with i7 3610 QM goes up to 80-90C while GT 650M goes up to 80C while gaming.
And this laptop is 3 years old.
You should only replace the thermal paste after 2 years or once the warranty has finish.

Thanks I actually just found out the monitoring software was out of date... temps are much cooler for some reason now... around 60-70.
