I would recommend to play the games on power than on battery. If you are experiencing overheating while playing games, please try installing BIOS update from the following weblink:

http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp76001-76500/sp76219.exe

 

Installation instructions are available in the following weblink:

What @Vidya said is correct.

 

Also keep in mind that these machines are designed to run within these tolorable temperatures.

The laptop will get a little hotter when plugged in because some hardware is throttled down when on battery to conserve power. It doesn't need to do this when on AC power. 🙂
