Is my CPU temp while gaming normal?

Hello all,

I'm using the Triton 500 i7-9750 / rtx 2060 16gb RAM.

I've had my laptop for just coming up a month now, and I've been very impressed with its performance. No complaints at all. It's only when I started looking into predator sense I noticed that my CPU during gaming reaches quite high temperatures (~95 degrees playing Resident Evil 2). The laptop doesn't feel alarmingly hot and there isn't any throttling but the CPU useage % doesn't seem to match up with temperature the same way the GPU does. Is this normal? I've seen on these forums to use Throttle Stop, and I have, but it hasn't made any difference at all. 

Should I be concerned at this? Thanks guys

    That is normal, as and if the Triton 500 gets too hot, it will automatically witch off. You can repaste (with a better CPU/GPU paste) and clean fans but, your fans should be clean as the Triton 500 is new. if you want extra cooling while playing games, use a good laptop tablet cooler or there are other drastic case modifications which are really for the enthusiasts and hard core gamer, which is your choice to make, but I wouldn't recommend it, as your Triton 500 is new and under warranty.
