Hi fellas. I have Asus with i7 4720hq gtx 950m 8 gb ram and 1 TB HDD. While i am playing games my CPU temperatures rise to 80 - 90 C , in BioShock Infinity hits 95 C. But the laptop doesn't feel so hot (not even close ) i can put my hand on the fans without a problem. So i have several questions , please help me.

1. Is it safe to play in these temperatures ? And if it is , will my laptop last(about 4-5 years) ?
2. How can reduce the temps (besides getting a cooling pad ) ?
3. Does disabling turbo boost reduce the temps. And if it does , how can i disable it?

Thank you in advance.

P.S Cleaned from dust and etc..

Laptops are designed to take on the heat, I had the same thing with mine while gaming.
Highly unlikely anything will be damaged due to those temperatures, but if the CPU temperature reaches 100C, it will crash. 100C is its TJunction, it isn't allowed any further.

Disabling turbo boost will lower temperatures as your CPU is working less harder, but you will also get less performance. It can be disabled in the BIOS.
