What cpu/mobo temps are considered ''safe'' ?

Just playing WoW they were in the high 70's low 80's, but stay in the 70's if I have the turbo boost cooling on (quite loud and annoying).

Although my instinct tells me that TJ Max =/= operating temperature and that you should generally be running much lower than the temp where the processor throttles/shuts down to avoid acute damage (TJ max)...

Hello Abadzekh:

In regard to your question, if the temperatures are below 100°C then the processor is working fine, as long as the laptop is not throttling, freezing or going off by itself you do not need to worry about the temperature.

Also, there are no known issues of Kaby Lake processors having a temperature problem with Windows® 10.

However in this case since you are using a laptop you can always get in contact with the manufacturer of it to confirm the information above.

Also, we do have a tool to test the temperature of the processor, it was build to be used on desktop boards but you can always run it on your laptop to verify the report:

Any further questions, please let me know.

Regards

Not much I can do to dispute that if Intel backs this statement.... However I would say keep it 5-10+ degrees below 100c just because the temperature reading may not be perfectly accurate so a reading of 95c could actually already be 100.

70's/low 80's dont sound terribly bad for a gaming laptop, considering how much hotter they run than gaming desktops

Ok thanks.
Ordered a cooling pad off amazon anyway, I remember my old laptop even just propping up the back of the laptop to allow better airflow helped significantly.
