Given that the problem exist with kernel 5.13.0-19 and newer but not with kernel 5.11.0-37, I tried to find which the change triggered this weird behavior using git bisect. I used bisect in the range [v5.11, v5.13] (official tags) and I've built the standard non-ubuntu kernel(s) using:
make -j4 bindeb-pkg LOCALVERSION=-custom As config, I used the Ubuntu one from: /boot/config-5.11.0-37-generic and accepted all the new config options as default. But, before finishing to test all the bisect steps, I found that even with the first kernel, v5.11, commit: f40ddce88593482919761f74910f42f4b84c004b, the problem already exists. Therefore, it looks like there were some Ubuntu-specific patches in 5.11.0-37 that prevented the problem to happen. In the original v5.11 kernel, the fans spin at ~50% apparently no matter the CPU load. Apparently, those Ubuntu patches that prevented the problem from happening, got changed in 5.13.0-19. Does anybody have a clue what could that be?
