Hello guys !
I have a laptop built from PC specialist.
Now my CPU runs between 80-95 when playing intense games.
But I dont actually play them because I am worried my laptop is going to break on me.
The games dont jump when its running at this temperature, because I have a cooling pad underneath.
Is it safe for me to be playing these games at these temps?
It feels cool underneath because of the pad but on top it feels really really hot and I just worry because I dont want it to break after working hard and saving up to buy it.
Thanks to those that take their time to read and reply.

I would agree with Junaid Balouch. You can take it to a local repair shop.
There are multiple tutorials on how to take a laptop apart, clean dust out and reapply thermal paste. Yet, it may be a better idea to take it to a professional.

Hi there ryanspring1991,

Is this a new laptop? What is the CPU?
Have you cleaned the dust out of the laptop? In case you haven't, you need to do that and reapply thermal paste.

I believe it is always a better idea to use a cooling pad, when the laptop is under load.

if its in warranty, get it cleaned from authorized shop. If not, go to local shop and get it cleaned. He would charge you but you would also see improvements. Furthermore, also check if it gets hot in running any other software or is it just the games?
