The laptop temperature is constantly high.

This is the output for command sensors:

acpitz-virtual-0
Adapter: Virtual device
temp1:        +85.0°C  (crit = +128.0°C)
temp2:         +0.0°C  (crit = +128.0°C)
temp3:        +64.0°C  (crit = +128.0°C)
temp4:        +68.0°C  (crit = +128.0°C)
temp5:        +37.0°C  (crit = +128.0°C)
temp6:       +114.0°C  (crit = +128.0°C)

coretemp-isa-0000
Adapter: ISA adapter
Physical id 0:  +82.0°C  (high = +84.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)
Core 0:         +80.0°C  (high = +84.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)
Core 1:         +78.0°C  (high = +84.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)

I have an HP Probook 45 with i5.

How can I reduce its temperature?

Edit:

  • Please [edit] your question and add output of lspci -k | grep -EA3 'VGA|3D|Display' terminal command. – Pilot6 Jul 24 '17 at 12:22
  • @Pilot6 question updated – djm.im Jul 24 '17 at 12:24
  • Is the fan running? – You'reAGitForNotUsingGit Jul 24 '17 at 12:25

    In this case it is not OS related. Clean the cooler. – Pilot6 Jul 24 '17 at 12:25
  • @Pilot6 It might be OS related..... I have an old laptop and the BIOS had a bug where the fan wouldn't run unless you booted a Windows OS. Updating to the latest BIOS fixed the issue. – You'reAGitForNotUsingGit Jul 24 '17 at 12:42
  • You're about to burn up your computer. That's too hot. Are the fans starting at all? Does it get this hot in Windows? Install intel-microcode and thermald. Report back. – heynnema Jul 24 '17 at 13:54

    ps: also make sure you have the latest BIOS installed for your model. – heynnema Jul 24 '17 at 14:32
  • intel-microcode is already the newest version (3.20151106.1). and thermald is already the newest version (1.5-2ubuntu4).

    I don't have Windows installed on this machine.

    The default thermald configuration will not keep your CPU temperatures low, it will only protect from very high temeratures. Try the thermald configuration I wrote for this answer. – Doug Smythies Jul 25 '17 at 00:51
  • @DougSmythies your thermal-conf.xml has no definitions for <ThermalSensors>, so it can't really determine what the current temps are. Search here on AU for user:4272 thermald and you'll find my other answers, and example code, for thermald. – heynnema Jul 25 '17 at 14:38
  • @heynnema : All I can say is that it worked fine for me, and did exactly what I wanted. – Doug Smythies Jul 25 '17 at 19:13
