Hello ,

So I recently bought a Alienware R3 13 laptop since I travel between places quite often . When gaming I notice that my cpu temps are ususally within 85° c - 95°c and Im kind of worried that it may be harming the laptop . I have heard that these are normal temps for a gaming laptop though I just want to make sure just in-case . My cpu is a i7-7700HQ and a GTX 1060 Gpu .

Thanks

Those are usually normal temperatures for gaming laptops under load. Cooling in a thin chassis is quite difficult.

The only things you could do to improve temperatures is changing thermal paste and cleaning your fans and radiators(if the laptop was bought used).
