Comment 4 for bug 1697567

I dubt this has anything to do with the kernel.

I'm not testing the upstream kernel. Please don't leave this bug in the "incomplete" status or it will starve without anybody doing anything to fix it.

I don't know. I have been observing this for years. Ages ago, however, on another computer with Ubuntu 12.something I didn't experience the issue, and I can tell because the fan was also old and would not do its job very well (much worse than my current one), and it was spinning very fast all the time as one would expect in that situation.
