So, I've spent some time on this, and I'll be honest, I don't have a lot of answers. I know that -9 is awful. I've booted them all and ran powerstat on all of them logged into the desktop with nothing extra running. Attached is a tar file with the results of all of the kernels I have installed, which includes the four you uploaded and two more.
I'm currently running -23 and so far it seems to be better than -33 but don't take that for sure yet. I'll run this for a while and then move over to -33 and see if there's a difference. I just wanted to update this to thank you for the kernels and let you know I'm investigating. ** Attachment added: "powerstat-5.4.x.tgz" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1881601/+attachment/5380179/+files/powerstat-5.4.x.tgz -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1881601 Title: Fan excessively runs, even when idle Status in linux package in Ubuntu: In Progress Bug description: I have a skull canyon NUC as my daily driver and the fan is running much higher than it should, even when the machine is completely idle. This happened with the 5.3 kernel and also with the 5.4 kernel during focal development cycle. It was fixed somewhere along the way prior to release but it's back with a vengeance now.
