I have Ubuntu 19.10 on an ASUS N750JK laptop, and it makes the CPU fan run fast almost all the time, without any apparent good reason. The battery gets drained quite fast. This is the output of sensors:

$ sensors
coretemp-isa-0000
Adapter: ISA adapter
Package id 0:  +51.0°C  (high = +84.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)
Core 0:        +51.0°C  (high = +84.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)
Core 1:        +48.0°C  (high = +84.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)
Core 2:        +48.0°C  (high = +84.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)
Core 3:        +50.0°C  (high = +84.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)

acpitz-acpi-0
Adapter: ACPI interface
temp1:        +51.0°C  (crit = +103.0°C)

asus-isa-0000
Adapter: ISA adapter
cpu_fan:     4600 RPM
temp1:        +51.0°C

I tried to manually lower the CPU frequency to 2GHz, when the max allowed by hardware is 3.4GHz, but that doesn't help. I also installed tlp. What could cause this issue?

  • Ubuntu 19.04 is EOL (http://ubuntu-news.org/2020/01/23/ubuntu-19-04-disco-dingo-end-of-life-reached-on-january-23-2020/) and thus off-topic unless your question is specific about problems released to moving to a supported release of Ubuntu. You should release-upgrade asap. https://askubuntu.com/help/on-topic Use a LTS (long-term-support) release if you don't like release-upgrading every 6-9 months. – guiverc Feb 05 '20 at 11:08

    I updated to 19.10, thank you for pointing that out. The fan issue is still there though – Alessandro Roaro Feb 05 '20 at 12:27
  • those temps are running hot a quite machine runs closer to 25 C so I would open up a terminal and run top update your question with output – Scott Stensland Aug 14 '20 at 15:05
