Laptop GPU Runs Hot

[semiproconsumer]

I recently bought a new computer. It is an Asus laptop(unfortunately), but it was the cheapest price for the specs I could find a month ago. Now there are some Lenovo computer deals which are better, but whatever.
The specs of my computer are:
i7 5500u
geforce gtx 940m with 2gb ddr3(how does that even work at any speed with dedicated gpus?)
8GB RAM
1TB hard drive
the exhast for the cooling system goes out like macbooks(not the newest fanless one) instead of at the bottom.

In any case, the link for the laptop is http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834232437 if that wasnt enough.

The problem with it is when I tested my laptop with furmark, the temperatures skyroketed to 90 degrees Celcius pretty quickly, and then the GPU started underclocking, which really dissapoints me. It underclocked about 50 mhz, which isn't too bad, but still.

So what I'm wondering is first off, are my temps safe?
And second off, is there any easy way I could improve my cooling system at least a little to not have my gpu underclock at all?
Nevermind, I panicked and read the temps as 10 degrees higher than they were. That is still pretty high. Also I did have it at 90 at one point and my gpu underclocked, but that was in a really stuffy environment.

First off FurMark will just heat the GPU all the way to hell. Laptop cooling just can't handle the FurMark gospel. I even tried it on a hulking 17in Sager monster of a laptop with 3 fans and still the GPU went above 95 degrees, underclocking and other unsavory stuff.

On temperatures, anything <92 is relatively safe. Intel cites a max temperature (T junction) of 105c, so you do have headroom (narrow, but still there). Laptop components are rated to higher temperatures than desktops. Graphics are similar: I have a poorly cooled, GT 540M on my Asus that runs at 90ish for the last 4 years without issues at all. Of course, the cooler the better.

There isn't much you can do to enhance laptop cooling short of removing the keyboard to let the fans take in more air (I did that on my N43SL, temps can drop 15c but of course, you need an external keyboard) on some designs since there is another air intake below the keyboard. Get a good laptop cooling pad, preferably one that blows air onto the bottom of the laptop instead of those that suck air away from them.

the best way is to remove the dust from the fans,also another way is to change and apply new thermal paste and as zero mentioned a cooling pad is wise choice but keep in mind that applying new thermal and cleaning the fans makes the difference
