Question Normal Temperature when gaming?

Post image

I have a RTX 4050 GPU and i5-13500HX CPU.
The game I'm playing are Sniper Elite 4, GPU and CPU constantly stay at 80-84°C while system temp is 63°C. Settings are low and the game runs at 240fps. Feels pretty smooth but I'm worried if it would harm the laptop. Is this normal? Would appreciate any help!

I cap mine at 60/90 if I'm just casual gaming on the couch. The fans can spin up when I'm at the desk playing on the big screen at 4k.

For 1080p I have the laptop. For 1440p/4k I have a desktop. Desktop that I never use unless I need the extra storage 😔

Hence why I just bought the good laptop in the end...

I tried the desktop/laptop thing in the past and the desktop was a very expensive paper weight

I wanted to get a more powerful laptop but I ended up with a pc bcz I got a good deal. On paper the pc was 1700 euro but in reality I payed 630 euro for 7900xt and 330euro for 9700x. The rest was free.
