on startup, my G3-710 (i7-7700, GTX 1060 3GB)
 has 50-60c ranges of idle temps  on the CPU but around 80c at load. Is this good?

Im still using the stock cooler, and it'll be a while till i can change the cooler, is it okay if i keep playing with those temps?

    Hi sora0virus

    Short bursts of peak temperatures ~95°C shouldn't be a problem. The system should automatically shut down approaching 98°C to protect the processor.  If it were mine and still under warranty, I would not worry too much at this point and try to fix things that aren't problems yet. if wanted to add cooler I would recommend you to add new thermal paste to the CPU.

    Hi sora0virus
    As Mentioned Above The system should automatically shut down approaching 98°C to protect the processor, So you can use the PC.

    Hi, sorry to hear it. 
           Predator and Nitro products are engineered to withstand higher operating temperatures than traditional notebooks. These systems include features that help with cooling and heat dispersion. The CPU and GPU are designed to handle temperature spikes in excess of 98 degrees Celsius without causing damage to the components. It is common for PC temperatures to spike temporarily during heavy gaming or graphic usage. If the system encounters excessive temperatures that could damage the hardware, it will automatically shut down to protect the components from becoming damaged.

    50-60C at rest is right in the normal spec, 80C under load is just fine. Monitor for heavy loads that get into the 95-100C range. If they start to show up the first step is a good cleaning since dust will contribute heavily to higher temps. If it's all clean and temps are still going high than 90-95 then is the time to look into cooling.
