Intel i7 550U @ 2.40GHz 2.30GHz Ideal temperature

Hi,

I just got a new laptop and I noticed that playing games on it makes it heat up really fast.

The standard temperature when I run a few things like Chrome, Steam, Skype, Dropbox and some folders open is 38*C-45*C.
But when I play games the temperature goes up to 75*C. Is this standard, or it shouldn't happen.
Also can touch screen affect it somehow ? I know it sounds kinda dumb bit I just wanna know.

Here are my specs:

Operating System: Windows 10 Pro 64-bit (10.0, Build 10240) (10240.th1.150819-1946)
System Manufacturer: LENOVO
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-5500U CPU @ 2.40GHz (4 CPUs), ~2.4GHz
Memory: 8192MB RAM
Graphic Card: Intel(R) HD Graphics 5500 and Nvidia Geforce GT 840M(2GB I think) but I mostly use the nvidia one.

I also have a cooling fan connected to my laptop with a USB port.
I have a mouse and headphones connected in and I plug my charger all the time.


I wanna hear/see your opinions on this.

Thank you.

That is normal for laptop to heat up to this temps. As long as the temps stay away from 95, it should be fine.
