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
pch_cannonlake 85.0°C
B0D4 59.0°C
Edit:
Using lscpu
I get:
