Cannon Lake microprocessor overheats on Ubuntu 20.04

il flag

My Laptop (Alienware m15 - 2018) microprocessor (Cannon Lake) 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?

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 I get:

What CPU do you have? `lscpu` should tell you, if you don't know. Also, if there is dust in your computer vents, remove it.

@cocomac thanks for your remark, I have updated my question with the output of `lscpu`, I already cleaned the fans but the problem is still.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
