NUC X15 abnormal temperature while running Linux
The device had only been purchased ~1-2 months ago so I don't think that dust in the fans would be an issue (as suggested in another post; Intel NUC's overheating - Solution!). The installation of Linux is more or less fresh, the only thing (I think) installed that would affect temperatures is auto-cpufreq (which has slightly lowered temperatures).
