I have the same heating issue after a clean install of Ubuntu 18.04. Before that I was using Ubuntu 16.04, without this problem.

Fans are more active than before and the laptop is constantly overheated, with 70-80 degrees doing nothing but only Chrome or even with the shell opened.

Nvidia drivers has been removed (I can live with the integrated Intel).
Kworker issue (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/887793) already fixed.

This happens on a Samsung 7 Chronos NP700Z7C (CPU i7 3rd gen)
