I've exactly the same problem here. My laptop is a DELL Inspiron 3000
Series: I14-3442-A40. My GPU is a Nividia 820M (2GB, 64bits) I'm playing
the game Fight the Dragon (via Steam) and my temperature reaches 93
degree Celsius (°C). The same happen when I play Civilization V (also
via steam) or X-Plane 10.

Title:
  GeForce 820M running very hot in Ubuntu

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Ubuntu release: Ubuntu 14.10
  Wine: 1:1.6.2-0ubuntu6
  GPU: Intel HD 4000+Nvidia GeForce 820M
  Nvidia drivers: nvidia-331-updates

  Expected behaviour: GPU temperature should not be excessively high
  when running OpenGL games.

  What happens: The GPU temperature gets very high when running OpenGL games. For example, running "The Talos Principle Public Beta" from Steam in Ubuntu the GPU temperature will go up to 95-98C but running the same in Windows 8.1 (on the same laptop)  the temperature stays below 80.
  The same thing happens when running other games and games in wine.
