My Laptop dv6 7040tx is heating up so much!

My Laptop dv6 7040tx is heating up so much!

As the title says, my laptop is dv6 7040tx which has dual graphics cards:
1.intel 4000
2.nvidia 630m
I went through some sites and found that both my graphics card are being used. So, it was recommended for me to install BUMBLEBEE.
I installed it and i used optirun to run my games. But, now my laptop is heating up! I was copying files over LAN and i'm downloading torrent files. There is not much CPU usage. It stays around 5%. But, the sensor values read as follows:
acpitz-virtual-0
Adapter: Virtual device
temp1:        +86.0°C 
temp2:        +86.0°C  (crit = +120.0°C)
temp3:        +30.0°C  (crit = +120.0°C)

coretemp-isa-0000
Adapter: ISA adapter
Physical id 0:  +86.0°C  (high = +87.0°C, crit = +105.0°C)
Core 0:         +86.0°C  (high = +87.0°C, crit = +105.0°C)
Core 1:         +86.0°C  (high = +87.0°C, crit = +105.0°C)
Core 2:         +81.0°C  (high = +87.0°C, crit = +105.0°C)
Core 3:         +81.0°C  (high = +87.0°C, crit = +105.0°C)
Is there a s/w to control this or should i do something else? Thank you :)
