    I got a 5160 and I'm getting like 80-90C on Skyrim, everything on low.

    Any help on how to lower the temps?

    Those temps are pretty standard for the NP5160 while underload. You can try to repaste with better thermal compound which can help 2-5C or get a notebook cooler for it to sit on which can help lower the temps a little as well. The temps you're getting now are safe numbers. Once you get 95-100C then you'll definately want to consider either of those options.
