    Those temps are safe, but on the higher side for the G750 series. They usually have pretty good cooling in them. Have you cleaned out your vents and fans of any dust that may be built up over time. Open up the bottom to do that which makes sure you're getting the best air flow you can.

    Can of compressed air is the best way. Be sure not to let the fans freely spin while you do this. Place something in the blades like a pencil.

    If you hold it upside it will, so do not do that. Always hold it upright and move the computer around as needed so the can stays upright.

    There's an option in xilliosoft to set no of cores for conversion. Is it safe that 5 6 cores run at max and 2 3 cores remain idle.?

    You can do that but it will take a lot longer to run.

    A repaste and and clean would help you run cooler and faster. An undervolt tweak would help even more.

    Lowering the processor voltage to reduce the amount of heat generated at a given clock. Most CPUs have a fair amount of headroom at stock before they become unstable. It does require some time and patience to test though.

    Just go in small steps, find where it gets unstable and then back off a bit to leave a safety margin.
