    Hello LAITHKHRESHEH-

    Your CPU and GPU will have a built in safety temp feature. If they hit high unstable temps, those components will automatically shut down. However, if you are running at 86c on the CPU, I suggest opening vents, taking apart casing and getting a can of compressed air to blow out the dust(number 1 reason for overheating in most cases) from the vents and around the insides. If you've never done this, you will be able to drop those temps drastically.

    Cheers!

    Something else too, you may want to change your thermal compound as well. I suggest IC Diamond to maintain safe temps.

    Thank you so much Michael ...

    But the laptop is only one month old and it can't be a dust problem .....

    And i can't open up the laptop because of the warranty , but i'll consider using a laptop cooling pad....

    Hello, i need to know how to open my Asus K53SC because it is very difficult to do that, it has no specific cover for fan, it just has a cover which covers the whole bottom of my laptop

    See AllurGroceries' post in this thread for info. The K5x series are very similar to each other, and disassembly will be as well.
