Hi everyone, recently purchased a alienware 15 with I7 7820HK and gtx 1080 i played a bit frostpunk yesterday and ran CPUID HW monitor and after a hour abd half or so i checked max temps and found the CPU temperatures as follows

MIN 37 degress c
MAX 100 degress c

Sure i read above 90 is high

GPU was MIN 37 MAX 81 degress c

Is the cpu to high a temp ?

Thanks dean

Running constantly to thermal throttling limit seems to be feature:

That's definitely not good thing for durability, if it constantly tries to overheat from lightest tasks.

That's way too high, I'd consider that an inherent fault/poor design and would be looking for a full refund.
