I recently installed fedora and i noticed cpu is heating and also battery draining ,I was using windows for years in my laptop and it was not having this issue.And Iam using cpu-autofreq and it cant also help this.
How can i fix this.
It’s difficult to say what exactly is causing the excessive heating, but gathering more information can help find cause and fix the issue.
If your cpu is getting hot for no reason, looking at the system monitor will likely help. It should indicate if a specific program is causing the issue.
Also just to verify, did you mean you are using auto-cpufreq? If so, does the issue persist when it is not running? Also showing the output of auto-cpufreq --stats might also tell if something is wrong with the program itself.
