I have a 2013 rMBP with 2.6 GHz Haswell i5, 8 GB ram, and 512 GB ssd. I just installed Windows 7 using bootcamp and tried playing Skyrim, but after only 10 minutes of gameplay I went to check my temps and was shocked to see my CPU getting up to 95C and GPU as high as 100C.

I'm assuming these temps are not safe, and would probably be even higher if I had been playing for a longer period of time.

Does anyone here have experience with gaming on the rMBP and would my situation be considered normal?
 
That's pretty normal for programs such as games that will tax a CPU. Just make sure that there's nothing blocking the fan intakes or exhaust.
