Swift SFX14-41G I get over 95°C while gaming, is this okay?

Hi, I recently bought an Acer Swift SFX14-41G laptop and downloaded CPUID HWMonitor. I booted up a game and afterwards it said the CPU and motherboard max temps were at 96.6°C and 95. The GPU is was at 87°C, are these normal temperatures? Will this damage the battery/CPU/GPU etc. It has a AMD 5600U and RTX 3050. I read online that high temps for laptops are normal and it can't get too high as it will just throttle itself to lower it.

Too high. Make sure laptop sits above a hard surface so air vents aren't blocked, Then try another temperature monitor freeware like CoreTemp to confirm temperatures

Repaste and use higher quality thermal products for your cpu/gpu like Thermal Grizzly Conductonaut liquid metal thermal compound and Thermal Grizzly Carbonaut high-tech carbon thermal pads and get a high end tablet cooler. Also make sure that you have the max ram and all the latest updates for windows, graphics and chipset drivers for your laptop.

I answered your other thread as well. Actually that is OK if you are looking at peak temperatures. Watch to see where they sit at an average while gaming instead of just looking at the highest they reach. I'd expect numbers closer to the low 90s. As you mention, the CPU and GPU will throttle to hold things down in that range. They will also force a shutdown when temperature exceed 100C, but you aren't getting there. The suggestions here are well worth following to help keep the number down and I expect the other responses were thinking your averages were that high, not your peak. I'm using Core Temp for monitoring and when I just looked all cores had peaks of 98 or 99, and the only gaming I've done today has been Microsoft Leisure games, so pretty low impact.
