    81 degrees Celsius is warm, but should be fine. It's not unheard of for it to approach 100 degrees Celsius. However, I think you'd find that it probably stayed at around 80 ish for quite some time. Try gaming for 15 minutes, checking the temp and continue gaming for another 15 minutes, repeat a few times. If it continues to increase dramatically then maybe start to worry, but I doubt it will.
