I'm new to the Ubuntu world, and even though I love the vibe, I cannot use it professionally (I'm web Dev). I have set up a dual boot with Windows 10 and Ubuntu 20.04. Turns out that when nothing is open, the sensors on the GPU show up to 45-48°C. When Chrome is open, the temperature goes above 60°C. If I want to open VS Code, it heats up to over 80°C when I put it on a cooling pad. My laptop is a Lenovo Ideapad 530S, i7 1.80 GHz, 16 GB RAM, NVIDIA GeForce MX150.On Windows with 3 VS Code Windows, over 20 tabs open in chrome, slack and discord app opened, the GPU temp is barely 41°C. Does anybody have similar problems?

Terminal output from lspci -k | grep -EA3 'VGA|3D|Display':

    Is proprietary driver installed? – Pilot6 Dec 09 '21 at 18:56
  • I have 470.82.00 nvidia driver installed, is that what You asking about? – Kamil Szewczyk Dec 10 '21 at 14:27
  • Please [edit] your question and add output of lspci -k | grep -EA3 'VGA|3D|Display' terminal command. – Pilot6 Dec 10 '21 at 19:41
  • There are a number of things you can do to Prevent CPU from Overheating. These may apply to GPU at the same time. On my dual fan laptop the GPU is always a few degrees hotter than the other sensors though. – WinEunuuchs2Unix Dec 11 '21 at 20:52
  • @Pilot6 i added output that You have asked for – Kamil Szewczyk Dec 16 '21 at 01:20
  • @WinEunuuchs2Unix its is hotter, but if it reaches 80°C with 2 chrome window open and 2 vs code workspaces, then I know something isn't right, i have checked all trick with different software and changing diver's settings, and it's not helping. I know i am not the only one with the issue, I am looking for somebody that has the same experience and solved this problem – Kamil Szewczyk Dec 16 '21 at 01:20
  • @KamilSzewczyk You could try turning off hardware acceleration in Chrome. Also update your question with details of your fan. EG is it on and loud when the system is hot? – WinEunuuchs2Unix Dec 16 '21 at 12:32
  • @WinEunuuchs2Unix problem is not in chrome - its getting hot just for running the system, i can touch it and its quite warm. You can hear the fan, its working on maximum torque, bot does not help. Its not fan problem as a hardware, cause on Win10 everything is perfectly cool, for example, when Im typing this, I have GPU on 41°C, with over 20 card open in 2 chrome windows, and 2 vs code editors. Cannot hear fans – Kamil Szewczyk Dec 18 '21 at 02:26
