So I have a strix Asus gaming laptop, 12gb ram, nividia gtx 970m, Intel i7 duel core 2.6ghz. The one problem I have though is when I play games like miscreated or other games on ultra settings my laptop gets hot, the cpu is usually 60-80°f and the gpu is about the same but a little higher. Is this bad or is it normal ? The games run at perfect frames even on high just my temps get high. Should I be worried and try to keep my temps at a lower rate while gaming?

It's a laptop, that's normal

High temps are normal for laptops while under load, especially if they have beefy specs. Also you mean Celsius though right? 80 is fine, up to 90 is too. Both your CPU and GPU has technology that, once when too hot, it will throttle itself to use less power, thus generate less heat. So you're fine.
If you use the laptop on your lap, or on a surface that could suffocate air intakes under it (i.e. bed), I recommend getting something to have between what the laptop sits on and the laptop, i.e. a cooling pad, however they don't do a lot for actual cooling, but they come in a good formfactor for this.

But I've read that if your laptop stays hot for a while that it'll damage it

Thanks, that's a relief to hear because I've been so scared of damaging my pc, and I planned on getting a cooling stand for it sometime soon.
