CPU gets up to 85 Degrees. Is that dangerous?

Sometimes while gaming on my laptop, my cpu will get up to 85 degree in one core and maybe 75-80 in the other one. Would this be considered dangerously high and if so, how do i fix this problem. thanks in advance.

Celsius? and at what load?

If it's 80C idle, then you have a problem but 80C on full load is acceptable, but not a temp you'd want to run your PC at all the time.

I have a dell studio 17 laptop with a 1st i5 2.49Ghz CPU and when playing BF2 I get to 85 too, after 2 hours of solid play my PC shut down.. and I have a cheapish cooler which does work a bit... so yeah just make sure you dont run at that temp for too long...

Yeah I'd say it's fine. I've had mine hit over 100c on the AMD CPU before a few times. It's a little older, a TurionX2. They're known to get hot though.

For Intel, I had an MSI GX620 laptop (sold off), it was a P8400 and got up to around 90c playing games and never had issues. Getting a bit too hot though can slow things down, so if it's a problem, you can buy a laptop cooler.
