While playing NFS Heat.  The CPU temp hovers around 90-95. Is it okay or it's gonna damage the CPU in long term.

    It is bad in the long term. U should undervolt your cpu. How old is the laptop?

    Spikes above 90C is okay till your average temperature is around 85C but not recommended in long term usage above 90C all the time.
    Things you can try: 
    1-> Try cleaning the fan, dust clogged in fins can heavily increase temperature and using a laptop stand even a book to raise the back of laptop to 1 inch can do the trick.
    2-> Even after cleaning you are getting high temperatures, check your undervolt is it -128mv or resettled to 0mv with HWmonitor if so try undervolting it again with ThrottleStop (it's safe).

    3-> If it still in 90-95C all the time, try changing the thermal compound with some recommended TIMs like Arctic MX4 that'll resolve the issue (refer to YouTube there are lot of video on thermal compound application) but keep in mind after changing the thermal compound over/under tightening, uneven pressure on the heatsink will also increase the temperature, make sure to tight the screws correctly.

    I hope this will resolve the high temperature issue.
