Bug Description

In brief, I upgraded Kubuntu 18.04 to 20.04 Beta.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Sleep/Suspend System
2. Resuming from Suspend can cause cooling fan to run at maximum.

I have a vague memory that this is a recurring issue with certain systems and has been dealt with elsewhere. And it would appear that this bug has come back to life in the latest kernel.

WORKAROUND:

1. Sleep/Suspend System and Resume again. (This may have to be done once or twice. Only occasionally do I need to completely restart.)
2. Revert to older kernel. In my case I reverted to 4.18.5-041805-generic and the bug has gone away. Tried reverting to a more recent kernel 5.2, but the bug persisted.

Workaround:

This may have to with a Kernel Regression or be Kernel related? (This is getting quickly above my pay grade.) I used Grub Customizer to boot with kernel 4.18.5-041805-generic and network connectivity/throughput is now functioning as it should.

Because the bug doesn't produce any error messages (segmentation violation, bus error, floating point exception, etc.)" apport wouldn't seem to be useful in this case? I'm going to mark the bug as 'Confirmed', according to your instructions, but by all means change if I'm incorrect.
