Is 86 C normal for GTX 1060 on Nitro 5? I have maxed out the graphics settings.

CPU's turbo is disabled so it hangs around upper 70s but the GPU is reaching 86 C max. Is it normal?

    Yes it is, Nitros are designed to run hot up to 90 deg c with spikes above that. Please click YES if I've answered your question

    Continuously running at 100 deg c would not be good but running lower 90's would be fine. The laptop is designed to throttle back or shut down if the CPU temp becomes dangerous

    But are you sure? I haven't seen a post where it says 90 C is fine for a mobile GTX 1060.

    What's the safe temperature for i5 8300H then? I don't want my components' lives to decrease due to overheating.

    I said safe, not max. Is reaching the max temperature a safe thing?
