    Your temp seems fine. If it does not get past 90 C degrees, you should be fine. :)

    As for overclocking, you can do that if you use RivaTuner.... as well as unlock the Coolbits function in the Nvidia Control Panel.

    most gaming GPUs will downclock itself when it reaches a critical temp (usually around 95C degrees) and shutdown the system if it hits threshold temps (past 100C degrees)

    I would not worry, just make sure you are using a notebook cooler and cleaning out the fans/vents once every month or two...
    - open the panels to get to the fans if possible
    - use Q-tips and compressed air (cans or compressor)
