I've updated my BIOS to A05 following the procedure "Upgrading with a FreeDOS USB drive" that can be found here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DellBIOS. The update process worked like a charm.
After update the BIOS, I ran some tests on the same game. The temperature is ranging from 83 to 86 with the peak at 91 degrees Celsius (°C). I cannot say (yet) if the BIOS update has decrease the temperature, because (as you can see on the description of this bug) I did an nvidia driver upgrade that helped the temperature to decrease. In other words, I need to perform more tests to check if the BIOS update has helped or not. I'm working now, but this night I'll perform more tests. Thanks for the help and the fast answer. :-) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1401839 Title: Nvidia 820M operating in a high temperature To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1401839/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
