High temperatures on brand new GL502VMK

Reinserev
Level 7
Hello!

I have a brand-new GL502VMK with an i7 7700HQ CPU , GTX 1060 GPU and 12 GB of RAM. After 30 minutes of playing the Witcher 3 at Full HD on High/Ultra settings (some settings on High, others on Ultra, as reccomended by the G-Force Experience app) my CPU temperatures are around 88-92 degrees Celsius, according to Core Temp (while the GPU is at around 65, according to GPU-Z!). The CPU temperature quickly drops to 65 degress or less a few minutes after exiting the game. My idle temperatures are in the low 40's.
Is this normal? Is there anything wrong with my laptop?
I knew that The Witcher 3 is a very GPU and CPU intensive game (as stated by the game's creators), but those CPU temperatures have got me worried a little. I mention that I am running 64-bit Windows 10 with all updates installed, I also have all the latest drivers from ASUS's website and I have updated the GPU drivers to the latest version compatible with ROG laptops (the latest version refuses to install; this is a known bug and has been reported by many ROG GL users).

Thanks in advance for your answers!

Sincerely,
Carl

Alright. I shoud see if I get any stuttering on other old games, too then. Still, it's a shame that the game stutters on such a powerful graphics card...

Hey,

those of you with a GL502VMK (with i7-7700HQ) have been able to undervolt the GTX 1060?

Cheers

Yes though I had to do a custom curve rather than using the profiles provided.
