[Luiz Cantoni <luiz.cantoni@xxxxxxxxx>]

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. :-)

Title:
  Nvidia 820M operating in a high temperature

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Laptop: DELL Inspiron 3000 Series I14-3442-A40 (Core i5)

  GPU: Nvidia 820M (2GB 64 bits)

  Nvidia Driver: 331.38

  Description:	Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS
  Release:	14.04

  Problem: My GPU temperature is reaching 90-93 degrees Celsius (°C) and
  the fan is always operating in the maximum rpm

  If I change to the Intel integrated graphics the problem doesn't
  happen and the processor operates in 62 degrees Celsius (°C)

  After noting this behavior my Ubuntu was updated. The NVIDIA Driver
  now is 331.113. I'm playing now and my temperature is 88 degrees
  Celsius (°C).

  
  What you expected to happen:

  A temperature between 75 and 80 degrees Celsius (°C)

  What happened instead

  A temperature between 88 and 93 degrees Celsius (°C)
