 Warm Regards to everyone !

I have recently brought a predator helios 300 , i5 8th gen and gtx1060 with 16 gb of RAM .

I  first played AC Black Flag , during which fans normally remained in between 3500-4000 rpm . ( COOL BOOST ON ) 
But , Now i tried to play AC Unity and Rise of the Tomb Raider and it straightly boosted rpm to 5000-5500 and it started creating a loud noise . I even lowered the graphics but no huge difference .

So , My question is that is Speed of fan's going above 5000 rpm safe  and also , How long can i play games continuously on these rpms?

This speed is safe, but not as 'safe' as running the fan at lower speeds. 

You can try undervolting the CPU, which will reduce the heat output and therefore the fan speed will also reduce a bit. Your other option after undervolting is to use a cooling pad or elevate the laptop from the surface a bit for better airflow.
