No, 89 degrees isn't excessive for gaming. It depends on your setup and environment.
Not at all. A CPU in an Intel laptop will slow down when it overheats. Turning off BD PROCHOT won't stop the thermal throttle. This issue is typical for laptops. Identifying the cause usually requires about 2 seconds of testing. After that, you can determine if the device needs repair or not.
Too much heat is a concern. The system likely runs at a high CPU temperature, possibly around 95°C, which triggers throttling. GPUs become problematic once they hit 80°C, and reaching 90°C leads to shutdown due to thermal protection. In BD Prochot, "hot" simply means elevated temperature, not just discomfort. Higher temps increase risks like data loss, reinforcing why thermal throttling was developed.
BD PROCHOT has no connection to thermal shutdown. Intel CPUs will reduce performance and shut down when temperatures rise, even if BD PROCHOT is turned on or off. Learn more about BD PROCHOT. It looks like you're mixing it up with stopping thermal throttling, which I didn't suggest. BD PROCHOT and PROCHOT are distinct concepts.
