I recently installed Arch on my Dell Inspiron 7591 and my laptop is heating up (when the charger is plugged in) more than before, as far as I remember.
The temperature is usually around 50°C when the charger is not plugged, which still feels quite warm than what it used to be before when I had Ubuntu or Windows installed. After a few minutes of me plugging in the charger, the temp reaches something like 75, sometimes more.
I went through this post and installed i8kutils but didn't change anything.
Here are a few outputs of

To start off with, check you have the latest bios version on your laptop as bios controls fans.
The first line of...
dmesg | grep DMIwill usually tell you the current bios version. Also double check any bios fan settings are sensible.
Sanity check - all are vents cleared of debris?
Cheers
Paul.

vents look clean
I tried

pacman -Syu but not sure if that updates the bios.
While going through this I found out that i8kmon is been failing, which I think I installed while installing 18kutils
$ systemctl --failed

Also double check any bios fan settings are sensible.

version 1.9.0 is the latest bios on https://www.dell.com/support/home/en-uk … op/drivers
No, pacman does not update system bios.
Did you check out https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fa … ll_laptops
and do all of what it says there?
