No, unfortunately none of this is happening. I let couple of days pass
and keep an eye on what's happening. When I'm compiling, watching a
video temperature goes up to 80C. But even just "regular" browsing
get's my temperature up to 60C. I've been keeping my system up to
date, even kernel was updated along with fancontrol from the time I
submitted this bug, but I still have this problem.

Please re-assign this bug to whatever you thing the problem might be,
but even basic stuff is getting my temperature way to high.

If you're interested this was bug that was happening on Ubuntu and
that eventually got fixed in my case. I hope it could give you some
pointers:
