Hi everybody, I would like some insight from people with laptop gaming experience.

I bought a gaming laptop 2 months or so ago and have started playing Wildstar on it. I have been a gamer for many years but only on desktop. My question is: are these temperatures considered safe to run for long periods of time (e.g. while playing Wildstar)?

System specs are:

Intel Core i5-4200M 2.50GHz
NVIDIA GTX 765M 2GB 8GB RAM

Any advice is appreciated
Thanks

Generally anything above 85 is when you should be worrying as prolonged periods at this temperature can ruin the lifetime and wear down your computer components.

However thats not to say prolonged periods at your current temperature won't do the same (They will; just not as fast).
Consider getting a laptop cooler or take regular breaks.

A good laptop cooler is the coolermaster notepal x slim which goes for about $20

Hope this helps!
