Hi, I am using AMD Radeon (TM) R5 M335 with CPU Intel(R) Core (TM) i5-6200U , 12GB RAM, VRAM 4096MB.

Laptop Dell Inspiron 15 5559. 

The problem is when I'm playing games/rendering videos with this Card it reached almost 89 Degree Celsius. I have attached the screenshot image. Is it normal?  I don't think so. Please me some suggestions or diagnosis to solve these issues.

1. 89°C is within specs - those cards could possibly take 103°C safe
2. its a laptop - those cooling solutions arent optimal for good temps
3. try to change your thermal paste with a good one - like ThermalGrizzly Kryonaut - those can bring down your temps ~5°C

Have fun! 

My Laptop's RX560x can get up there in temperature. Hot enough to burn you if you touch it. 

Like benman2785 Said, "It's a laptop". Some laptops have better cooling than others, but you are limited by the small package and the fact that you won't be having lots of heat pipes to take the heat away from your GPU. I have one big Heatpipe that is shared between the CPU and GPU, and an extra small one that is only used by the GPU. 

Changing Thermal paste is always an option, but that requires disassembling your laptop, then reassembling it. 

If you are mad at temps, turn on chill, and adjust the settings

Like benman2785 89°C is within specs. But still if you want to go colder try undervolting a little. It usually helps a lot.
