My Laptop (Alienware m15 - 2018) Platform Controller Hub (Cannon Lake PCH) is overheating on Ubuntu 20.04 (without running any app) unlike Microsoft windows 10, can you please tell me how can I solve this problem?
Note that I'm using Ubuntu installed on an external SSD drive, so the USB hub controller is managing the communication with the system.
I'm using the "Temperature without third-party apps" approach from this answer as follows:
paste <(cat /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone*/type) <(cat /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone*/temp) | column -s $'\t' -t | sed 's/\(.\)..$/.\1°C/'
acpitz 60.0°C
iwlwifi_1 59.0°C
x86_pkg_temp 59.0°C
acpitz 27.8°C
INT3400 Thermal 20.0°C
SEN2 62.0°C
SEN3 56.0°C
SEN4 66.0°C
SEN5 45.0°C
SEN1 54.0°C

Edit:
Using lscpu

should tell you, if you don't know. Also, if there is dust in your computer vents, remove it. – cocomac Feb 24 '22 at 19:17lscpu
, I already cleaned the fans but the problem is still. – Bilal Feb 24 '22 at 19:24
