I'm running the game Guild Wars 2 on lowest settings, in a lower resolution on an Acer Aspire E5-573G-56RG with an i5 5200u and nvidia geforce 940m with 4gb vram. i downloaded open hardware monitor to check up on my core temperature, but how do i know how hot is too hot?

currently this is what's displayed when i'm playing the game:
CPU Core #1: Value 50C Max 65C
CPU Core #2: Value 52C Max 62C
CPU Package: Value 50C Max 65C

is this too hot? am i doomed to stop playing pc games on this thing? it's new 🙁

It isn't too hot. It is actually quite good temps. Upon researching that chip can operate up to 105 degrees C. So no, it isn't too hot at all :)
