My notebook (with NVIDIA) is running in abnormally fast fan speed and temp. At first I thought it was the graphic card, then I installed appropriate drivers for my graphic card, still having the same issue. I came across this question about the same issue. I followed the instruction to

  • instal sensor-detect
  • pwmconfig to test each fan
  • /etc/fancontrol to create file
  • add parameter acpi_enforce_resources=lax (I also put pci=nomsi and pci=noaer already)
  • disable turbo boost

However, after booting a few times, my notebook still running at crazy temperature. I tried to run sensors and this is the result :

coretemp-isa-0000
Adapter: ISA adapter
Package id 0:  +54.0°C  (high = +100.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)
Core 0:        +51.0°C  (high = +100.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)
Core 1:        +53.0°C  (high = +100.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)
Core 2:        +51.0°C  (high = +100.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)
Core 3:        +52.0°C  (high = +100.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)

I literally can hear the fans running super fast, sometimes randomly when I'm not even running anything (idle). I just recently switched to Ubuntu and and still trying to figure this out. Any advice on how I can overcome this issue ?

  • Depending on ambient temperature, those temperatures could be perfectly reasonable. At least they are far from abnormal. The fans running when you _think_ the computer is idle could be due to something running in the background, e.g. unattended upgrades. – danzel Sep 03 '19 at 08:03
  • The steps from that question generally do not work with laptops. 53C is normal for a laptop. When running sensors-detect, does it detect a SuperIO chip but says its unknown? – rtaft Sep 08 '19 at 11:34
  • @rtaft in the end the result is just coretemp. No SuperIO detected. Also while 53 sounds normal, as I said in my question I can hear the fan sound crystal clear which makes me worried. – raisa_ Sep 10 '19 at 06:40
