What temps are okay for my Helios predator pro 16 (NOT THE NEO) (PH16-71)

I am a little paranoid now ever since my laptop had extreme temp issues last time and my motherboard being faulty, resulting in it needing to be replaced last year.. So just asking here, what temps are okay?

Some additional info about my machine; I have quite a few startup background programs which i have yet to manage and disable with startup hahah. I also usually have a 4K drawing display hooked via USB-C (Wacom 16 cintiq pro) so i'm aware this contributes to heat as well. I always have a 2Tb hard drive hooked up on my laptop and it's always about 7cm from the back lifted up (no additional cooling pad). As art program references I'm using for blender, a low poly animated/textured character (396kb) and for clipstudio, a canvas of 3889*2010 PX 300DPI (72.3mb). I also have turned off most of the startup programs while I am idling, gaming or making art and this is applied to my listed temps. My laptop is always hooked up to power (unless it's off or when I idle without anything running on the bg). And i screenshotted my processor power management (which is default).

CPU:
Startup (With the startup programs); 70°C
Idle; unsure but somewhere around 60 degrees celcius
Running simple programs like word: 65-70°C
Running art programs like clipstudio/blender: 68-75°
(without display) running HEAVY games like final fantasy 16 or monster hunter wilds: 80-95°C

GPU:
Idle: 45-50°C
Running simple programs: Never above 55°C
Running art programs: Also usually ranging around 53-65°C
Gaming: Usually around 70/83°C never touches 90

System: System is usually in between CPU/GPU temps but closest to the GPU temps.

This was while playing R.E.P.O without the back mounted and is on it's highest settings (I forgot to lift the back):

I feel like these temps are pretty okay, but I'd like to see other input and opinions on what temps are acceptable and when to watch out. Again I'm very weary/paranoid over my temps ever since having the motherboard replaced (and also got the acer care+ package) so I'd like to monitor my temps and check up on everything before anything gets damaged or goes wrong again. This was a pretty big investment and I'd like to keep this thing intact for as long as I can.

Thanks!

Hi @ApplePie59 while waiting for further responses, my opinion is that the temperature levels you have indicated in the different phases are within normal limits, except for the equipment that has just been switched on, which you indicate is 70°C. However, it strikes me that it then remains at this level or barely rises once it is already in use.

thank you! as stated the startup temps only happen because i keep forgetting to turn off abundance startup programs such as vanguard and a bunch of other things, but once i turn them off the temps lower pretty fast

In that case, I don't see any problems.
How do you set your power mode, to maximum performance or balanced?

These are the quoted and tested temps of the cpu and gpu in the max Turbo mode as tested by Acer and quoted in the PH16-71 service guide, so use this as a guide. Good luck and hope this helps you out further.
